Life goes on people say. People change, conditions change, relationships change, priorities change, but time goes on steadily. And this time engulfs everything silently witnessing the same cycle of turmoil the people go through and through. Restlessness due to change in your relations, frustration due to change in monetary status, the struggle to deny and at the same time accept that people change, the same rhythm of liking someone, struggling to keep yourself together, the joy of being accepted, the sanctity of just being with someone, or the brave face you put up when things don't go accordingly, that heartache to go through it and face the world normally, time testimonies everything, it knows the results and cures, but still decides to stand by and watch. About something's, you just can't do anything, you have to go through it, feel all it has to offer to come out shining as gold from a furnace.
All this started with me thinking if I and one of my friends have drifted apart, or is this just my speculation ( I am usually blamed for over-thinking :P ) and then I realised nothing of it is new. It may be a life changing situation for me, but many people would have drifted away from each other across centuries. It's just good to accept that sometimes, we just do drift apart. However good friends you may be with someone, no matter how close you were, there are times when you feel it's just not the same. The bond you used to share no longer exists. Well, sometimes there may be a logical reason, sometimes it's because you expected quite a much but sometimes it's just because you start to feel so.
There are times in every relationship when you start feeling too protective, too possessive about the person and if we cannot handle it, we wrap it in a glossy paper labelling it infatuation or love. No, my ideologies of love will take up another of a page. I do not want to break the bubble about it. It happens. But similarly, there are times when we feel the person in front to be a complete stranger, even after knowing them in and out. And if we have ever been really really close, we start doubting if somebody else has taken up our place. We feel like we are losing grip, our hold, our importance in their life or in modest words, the person is losing the affection he had for us, something like the distance between us is growing, never to be filled up.
But the truth is, all we need to do at such times is let time do its course. The well versed player knows what's best for us. He may just stand and watch, but never fails us if we depend on him for something. He will give us a result, good or bad, its upto us.. ;) All the while your job is to believe and do whatever you think you can do to make things work, even if it means just going on stand by mode for the time being. And at the end of the day nothing of this matters, if you can go to bed with a smile on your face. That's what all the struggle is about.. ;) !!
