Its part 28 of my book and I have a knack for associating numbers with events, that's how I remember most people's birthdays.

Anyway, So I watched the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind" recently and it reminded me of the movie "Her" for some reason. Both movies have this central idea of two people wanting to be with each other, love each other and eventually with time they get separated.

Isn't it weird how in those initial days, everything about that person seems beautiful, as if he/she is just the perfect Ying to your yang, the missing puzzle piece you've been trying to find all your life, that euphoria is just unexplainable.

And with time, with the increasing familiarity, of each other, be it the body, common habits, families and tendencies, everything becomes predictable.

Boy I can't stand watching a movie I already know the plot to
But look! You're living one :)

Lol I'm kidding.
There's no predictability possible, not in relationships, not in life.

The familiarity isn't all bad you see, because think about it, who around you so far has still stayed the same?
Everything has changed, and it will keep changing but the one person you know deeply enough will never change.
On the outside maybe yeah but on the inside, no one really does.

In both those movies, they tried to focus on this one thing, that the Relationship between a Man and woman, evolves. And there comes a time when they both start finding each other annoying, the caring becomes annoying, the expectations become annoying, the normal day outs where they're supposed to enjoy themselves become days full of arguments, OVER WHAT? Over petty things.
And slowly they start convincing themselves that they're not right for each other. That they deserve better. Or that they're better off alone.

They try leaving and the realisation hits.
And boy does it hit hard.

Now I ain't gonna explain how God made Adam and Eve. But let's just think about this.

There's a reason why you fell for that someone.
You didn't choose to love him / her.
It just happened.
And No human being was born perfect.
But despite all that , you endeared it all. Only to watch the person leave.
It does hurt.
The longing, the waiting, the betrayal.

But ever thought about ,WHY?
Why did you let them go?
Why didn't you hold their hand when you had the chance
The same hand you once tried to join lines with, the same hand you once called the perfect fit to yours.
Why didn't you see the tears behind their anger?
Why did you misunderstand their love?
When they fought for your attention you dismissed them.

And now, Now when they're walking away, you choose to blame it all on that person?
That they were too annoying?

Why the blame games in the first place?
Why don't you just cut the bullshit, and just tell them that you love them.
Why don't you remind yourself why exactly you fell for them.

There won't be a second chance,
There won't be a day or a time, appropriate for this very purpose.
You don't give up on people you love.
Because you don't know if you'll hear them breathe the next day,
Or yourself.
Now is all we have.
