When he told me long long ago that he likes this song, I thought he meant another one.
But this song now hits a spot whenever I listened to it.
I was having dinner in front of the TV as usual, watching Kinship on Cha 8. So I saw this part whereby Alvin Ng wrote the letter and it ended with, "I will only love you this life time."
That was very cliche but hopelessly romantic if spoken by the right person. Even so I was still struck by that 'life time' part.
I was thinking how many times can a guy say that in his life?
Not counting those those that ended up with One & Only One partner,(ie; fall in love with one gal, go courtship with her,married her and never ever look at others till the end of time) I am quite ready to believe that a guy would have said at least 2 times of such sentence in his life.
It is quite boring to quote a hypothetical example so I thought of mentioning Jason with no harboured intention of any kind.
(Sorry, dear)
See...Before me, Jason had loads of girlfriends. Majority were just flings in secondary days and the last one ended in poly. But he said that 3 magic words to at least 2 gals before. (and I knew one of them. Bizzarely was my secondary school mate and once same ECA mates)
Maybe he did not add on the word 'life time' but again what does it matters? That 4 letters weigh alot to alot of people.
I was thinking...when you fell in love with someone, even when you met someone new and perhaps really,really love him/her alot, does it completely wipe off the fact that you were in love with the case-of-the-ex then AND you did said 'I love you' to that person before?
Not only Jason, I know of alot of guy friends like that too. It makes me wonder,badly...always.
Perhaps at the end of the day it is all the way that a male & a female's chromosomes make up and the way their brain is made to function.
But how do you know that you will never meet another one that you would love and what would happen to the one that you loved?
I was reading on a certain girlfriend's blog archives during lunch cos' I had nothing better to do.
Much as I do not like her, I still totally understand why and how she felt for someone before her current boyfriend.
The same is with me. I do not replace someone that I loved even when I am with someone I love? Sounds complicated,no?
Guys common answer would be that they had forgotten about that one in the past, be it they were together or not, had moved on and only love his current one most.
While I do not doubt the fact that the guy would love his current lady most now, I am otherwise quite doubtful about the forgotten about the past part.
To be brutally honest now, I realised that I still didn't forget Ronald. Much as I know Jason may not like reading this and may be hurt but I just wanna say that there is no comparison.
I wanna say that I still miss him and will perhaps will keep going on for a period of time which is not to be defined. I seldom step in 7-Eleven now but tonight when I did, I still see his shadows.
I didn't wanna forget neither do I want him to be replace.
Guess it will always be a part of me.
And that is what I sumed up is about most (emotional) gals' whom I know.
I can't guarantee you a life time love but each I love you doesnt mean my past feelings don't mattered.
But I guess we never know what comes ahead and I just always wanna thank you for being there, for loving me.
Now coming to the end...I have no idea how my post links. Darn it but hey it's only Tuesday, I had a long, busy day so pardon me.
Love,
Ling
