Perturbed

Here's what i don't get



How you can love someone so bad but not be with them

How you can hang on to their every word

Watch over their every step,

And time your heart to beat with theirs,

And.

Not.

Be.

With.

Them.



Then you meet someone else

But still you're afraid

Afraid to live, Afraid to be happy

To feel, to breathe.



Here's what i don't get.



How you don't get that this is life

And it goes on with or without your smile

You're not responsible for other peoples' happiness

What is important is that you're fufilled



No, here is what i don't get



That you can think of me,

Want to be with me

Even dream of me

And that i can feel the same

But you would rather hesitate

And let love slip away



Here's what i don't get

    Sigh...I don't get it either...human beings are a mystery to me...I have given up. How can you love someone so much and then...nothing...where does all the love go? I don't get it either...

    It happens and I feel you.

    Ive had a different case of wanting somebody but not wanting to have the person...conflicting voices in ur heart

    Listen to the one that makes u feel peaceful the most

    Love is a beautiful thing when u experience it
    and
    NO
    i am not talking about sex
    love is sweet and gentle and revealing
    Love never fails
    its beautiful to behold.

    @Tara,

    its true. Love is very different 4rm sex, but most people dnt knw or pretend not 2 knw.
    It is surprising dt Naija guys dnt demarcate luv n sex. Is it dat they dont knw or pretend not 2 knw?

    Dont mind them...a vast majority of them know. But some of them dont know if ther's a line and where the line is.

    There's a reason

    The reason is some of us ladies, giving our selves so freely to them, making them think it's the norm. As a result, many of 'em think that love is sex, and sex is love. They think that love is what they feel wen they have sex.
    I think it's up to su again to make 'em think otherwise.
