maybe I should stop acting like a lovelorn bunny.

 

was messing around with my instrument just now, and playing around with secret garden songs. damn nice. then I remembered that night when I played “song from a secret garden” to her when she was in hospital. over the phone. so I thought, why not just play her another one tonight. didn’t want to call her and impose upon her if she didn’t want to listen, so I messaged her…

 

I’m playing around with secret garden songs. call me if you wanna listen =p

 

then continued playing for a while waiting. twenty minutes later I decided she probably didn’t want to listen, so I packed up and left the room.

 

so she didn’t want to hear? well, think I gave her that choice in the message, so just as well then. I shouldn’t be grumbling.

 

I start to think: I shouldn’t behave like I really need her or something. I shouldn’t be thinking of her all the time. I can have my own life. have my own friends. do my own things. go through my own life. I don’t need her.

 

or do I?

a friend asked, how can you be so crazy over her? think crazy is perhaps the correct word here. I don’t know why too. she’s someone special to me I guess. but I’m not someone special to her. I have totally no idea how I’d approach the next week. I’m supposed to have decided not to ask her out on valentines’. but of course I’m entitled to have doubts surfacing in my head every now and then. yet, as I said before, I fear rejection. I don’t want to trouble her to think of excuses to say she can’t go out on friday. I’m gonna see her tomorrow, gonna see her again on monday. all these times when I see her, I anxiously look forward to. yet dread too. because I don’t know how to behave. things are progressing well on the whole though, I guess. as friends.

 

and friends are not supposed to go out on valentines’ together. especially if one has rejected the other before. and the other still likes her.

 

the resolve grows stronger as I type. the resolve not to ask her out. yet I know this resolve will be weakened, will be eroded as soon as I see her. she’s too special.

 

sometimes I wish she hadn’t told me she’d broken up.

 

so back to the typical singaporean refrain: so how? what to do?

 

and all I can do is to hope and pray, that heaven knows.

 

I’ll try to get back my normal life. need to answer my employers with good results. better keep my focus. and enjoy her company as a friend in the meantime.

 

but the problem is, I don’t know what she’s thinking. I’ll kill myself if she’s prepped herself to agree to me asking her out on valentines’, and I end up not asking.

 

arrgh. don’t care. I shan’t ask.

 

I hope.

 

dejectium out.
