"Such is the way of the world"

"A friend of mine joined back work after a long break. She says it bleeds her heart to leave her kid in day care. The very first day he cried for his mother to not leave him and she found him on the stairs in the evening waiting for her. A couple of days later, he stopped crying. And one fine day he jumped out of car and rushed to day care without looking back at her."

The rule of time and life is thus. Disasters happen, epidemics, holocaust, wars. People born, dies. Lovers meet, depart. The love never dies, the grief never goes, we might neither forget nor forgive or may be find peace with it. Good, bad whatever, what doesn't change is we get used to it. 

One fine day, or may be gradually, we simply give up and stop waiting.

".. why can't I conquer love?"

Amidst of all the reasons, I believe its the alarming rate of decrease in compassion which will lead to the end of human race.

To all the Lost loves

Each place I go only the lonely go

Some little small cafe

The songs I know only the lonely know

Each melody recalls a love that used to be

The dreams I dream only the lonely dream

Of lips as warm as May

That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme

That soon somewhere you'll find the one that used to care

And you recall each fun time

Those picnics at the beach when love was new

It well could be the one time

A hopeless little dream like that comes true

If you find love hang on to each caress

And never let love go

For when it's gone you'll know the loneliness

The heartbreak only the lonely know

- "Only the lonely" by Frank Sinatra

Is this?

Now I've traveled across the ocean 

with the same shoes just longer hair

still carry that picture in my wallet

from the photo booth yeah it's still there

just give me some kind of sign

is this the right place or the right time?

is this the right time? 

now I've landed in the Midwest 

where you lived so long ago 

remember I was always freezing 

and now I'm covered up in snow 

just give me some kind of sign 

is this the right place or the right time? 

is this the right time?

and it goes on..

"I spent every moment of my life trying to capture the decisive moment, but every moment of my life was the decisive moment."

Midnight talks

"Is it weird being here in the same town?" He asked her. "Now that everybody's left?"
"It's like walking through the mall after it closes. I miss everyone." She said without thinking and then thought how lame the reply was.
"You're different." He said abruptly, gave her a twirl and then caught her back .
She made a face and said, "You’re crazy." and kept the pace with him.
"You are, trust me." He said. "You feel different."
"I'm exactly the same," she said. "I'm the only one who's the same." She heard the song was almost at its end.
"You're the most different."
"How?"
"I don't know," he said. "It's like we all left, and you let go."
