back to one

how many times have you given a second chance to someone in your life?

strictly speaking, since usually i'm the one who lets my girlfriend make the exit first...i don't have the perogative to "give" a second chance. it's more like, will i chase after her diminishing mirage...?

well, honestly, so far there's only been 2 girls i've done it for. for the rest, i gave a good cry and walked away.

it happened twice for the first one (so you see...she left me twice :p). have i regretted since it didn't work out for us in the end? -> she's already married to someone. my answer is a resounding no. the times and love we had could never be exchanged for with anything.

for the second girl...well, let's just say i'm surprised i got a second try (after all, for the first one, time was on our hands and we were pretty decadent then :p). we both have quirks yet mostly happy. we are very different yet very similar. we are both afraid, but somehow willing to try (probably me more than her since i have less beauty to lose?? haha...) my more patient persona will definitely have to step in many times. her impatient persona have made some room for the scatter-brain in me.

An apt illustration of "treading in familiar waters with new boots" probably spells it for us.

Will the pair of boots be reliable? Will the soles give way and allow you to slip and fall? Will they provide you with the support and traction you need? Will they be there with you through mud and flood? Will they...finish this journey with you?

Try it - and you will know.
