So simple…yet…so complicated

its what life does to you...

You came as black and white. You didn’t stand out until you were pointed out to me. I saw you with those surprised eyes of mine. It was as if a new born is introduced to the world for the first time. I had never thought about you, and didn’t think it would go so far. I saw you as nothing but a trial…something I wasn’t sure about. You had a magic. It existed in others, but I could only feel it in you. It all seemed perfect in the starting. You kept me close and I got passionate. My soul belonged to you and yours belonged to mine. It was perfect…yet, just the start. You were my black hole; which had sucked me in. We worked! But not yet. We had long way to go. You would drive, and I would direct. We were the perfect couple. Oh, those day - when it was so simple. Nothing could stop us from working. Well…at least that’s what I thought. Who was I kidding?

Last thing I remember - addiction. I was addicted to you. You were my life. In the beginning I wouldn’t have thought of it going so far…but I think it’s just what life does to you. Yet, so simple. Nature. We all one day become old and loose the energy. I did. I remember…for me, it took only 4 minutes to fall in love with you but took 4 years to get out of it. So complicated. It’s not easy to know that you can’t do much more, or in fact do nothing more. You can’t go back in time. You can’t undo anything. You can’t remember what got you so close but can’t forget why you drifted apart. So complicated. Give it some time; someone told me. Well, I did. But it doesn’t work that way. Once it’s gone, you don’t get it back.

BUT I DON'T REGRET A SINGLE THING..

Here I am, a dancer, well…to put it truthfully - just a dancer. I might dance pretty well, but it won’t be perfect.  Not the way I used to be……….or at least, not the way we used to be. So passionate, so enthusiastic, so simple. Now remember, life won’t always be “perfect”, in fact it’s going to be really hard. But think about this too…would I have come so far from where I started if I took precautions at the first sight of it and never really took the chance? Would I have had those ravishing moments? Would I by any chance be standing here? Life as we know it, so simple…yet…so complicated.

Easy to ignore grammer problems........but very difficult to forget your writing. You have become my absolute favorite writer on this site. The insights into the the human existance that you express, is rather amazing in the way you find the precise exact choice of words to express a complicated thought in very few words. "It took 4 minutes to fall in love with you but it took 4 years to get out of it".... wow, all the mixed feelings that is implied and expressed in that brief line is amazing !
