The Stupid Little Girl
Once upon a time, there was a stupid little girl. This girl fell in love for the first time with a boy, who just happened to be her best friend. The stupid little girl tried to hide her feelings from her friend, the little girl did not have many friends and she worried that if she let the boy know how she felt it would hurt their friendship. The little girl kept all of her feelings safely inside of her and did not tell a soul.
The little girl stood on the side lines, hoping to be noticed as the boy went out with scads of other girls. The boy never noticed her. Weeks past and nothing changed, she was still a stupid little girl. She grew very sad, and even though she still had a close friendship with the boy, she longed for more.
One night a ball was being held in the King's honor. The stupid little girl attended the ball even though she knew the boy would be there with his date, a very beautiful girl who is also known for her charming manner. On arrival at the ball, the little girl saw the boy with the pretty girl, her heart sank. Even though she knew they would be there together she had no clue how it would hurt her. The stupid girl tried to dance with the others at the ball, but she couldn't help looking over at the boy, who was holding the girl in his arms. Everyone was saying how they looked like the perfect couple. The girl danced gracefully with the boy, who looked into her eyes lovingly all the time. The stupid little girl had never felt so much pain until this very moment. She wished on all the stars in the sky, that she could be the one he was holding. Tears started to run down her pink cheeks and her heart slowly started to crumble.
The boy noticed the stupid girl crying and asked her why. Through her tears she managed to tell him how she felt about him. Realizing what she had done and being very embarrassed what she had told him she ran away from the ball. She vowed that she would never speak to the boy again.
The next day the girl felt bad about what she had said to the boy, after all he was her best friend. The stupid little girl sent the boy a telegram telling him that she still wished to be friends with him. They started being better friends and the little girl didn't feel so stupid anymore. She was very happy that things were working out, and she started to feel better.
The little girl had nearly forgotten about beautiful girl until one day when she was walking through the village streets. The little girl was on her way to the dress shop when she noticed the boy and the girl walking towards her. How can I compete with her?the stupid girl thought sadly to herself. She looks like an angel who just flew down from heaven. She wanted to hide, but instead the stupid little girl tried her best and held her head up high as she passed by the boy and his pretty girlfriend. When they were out of her sight, the stupid little girl wiped a lone tear from her cheek. She was hurting but she wasn't about to let anyone know.
That day after returning home from the dress shop, the stupid little girl promised herself that she would never allow any boy, even the prince to hurt her the way her friend had. She tried to block all of her feelings, but she couldn't. It was like being under a spell, she couldn't shake it. She couldn't break away from the horrid spell and she very much wanted to. She did not want to hurt anymore. She promised herself that she would be strong and will not let her emotions control her anymore.
The days went on, the stupid little girl and the boy remained friends. The little girl's heart crumbled a little more every time they were together, she was living in a fantasy world and could only see the bad things in life. The boy was very happy with the beautiful girl and he saw everything as being good. The boy never realized that the girl was hurting, or that her heart was broken. The stupid little girl's heart grew smaller and smaller, it broke into a million pieces and the little girl was no longer able to love or feel anything. She could see no good on life and that was her problem. The boy grew up and was very happy. Day by day the boy remembered less and less of the stupid little girl he once knew. He saw the good in life and left the bad behind him, he was a good man he married and raised a wonderful family. He lived happily ever after.
What happened to the stupid little girl? She tried to let go of the past but somehow she couldn't. When she passed away, they took hold of her belongings and as they opened her pouch, they saw that it still holds the only picture the stupid girl has taken with the boy when they were still young, many years ago.
The End -
Sometimes u keep the feeling to urself because u are afraid that telling that person might spoil the friendship with him/her.
I did that once and she rejected me. Although we are still friends but the feeling is now different.
If u really love him/her, it doesn't matter who he/she is with. As long as he/she is happy can liao
I learnt this in the hard way and it is too late liao. -

That's true.Originally posted by coolger03:

But what to do? Life goes on, u cannot just hold on to this feeling forever.
I used to sing/listen to the song 'Somewhere out there' to comfort myself. Esp. when I thought about her.... in the middle of the night ....

but at least u used the words "used to"... so that means u've already gotten over her huh? good for u..
-
it's really stupid to hold onto something that's not there.... even if we hold on, the other person doesn't know/doesn't care/doesn't response.... end up only ourselve suffer.... wat's the pt?
-
In certain ways I have already got over her liao lah.Originally posted by coolger03:but it's not easy lor... unless there is someone there to take over her place in ur heart...

Maybe 90%?
But I still ask my friend (who still keep in touch with her) about her lastest news.
And only a few months ago I met her with another man along Orchard Rd. Suffered a few moody days because of that encounter. -

well.. at least when u "lose" someone to another person there's a real reason. wat happens when there's no one to lose to but it's just lost? there's just nothing to bank on, no place to put ur finger on sometimes..
-
lose mean lose liao...Originally posted by jOhO:well.. at least when u "lose" someone to another person there's a real reason. wat happens when there's no one to lose to but it's just lost? there's just nothing to bank on, no place to put ur finger on sometimes..
does it matter whether u lose to who or what or nothing?? -
Hmm... that is even sadder.Originally posted by jOhO:well.. at least when u "lose" someone to another person there's a real reason. wat happens when there's no one to lose to but it's just lost? there's just nothing to bank on, no place to put ur finger on sometimes.. -

I do not want to hold on either...sometimes I think I am doing the wrong thing, my mind tells me always to just let go but my heart wouldn't allow it...I tried to love another guy but it is just not the same...I have no idea why this is happening to me...in a way I feel silly because last time I used to laugh at my friends for pining for people who didn't love them back...and now I am in the exact, same predicament. *sigh*...maybe this is my retribution... -
Actually quite true u know.Originally posted by icyprincess:I do not want to hold on either...sometimes I think I am doing the wrong thing, my mind tells me always to just let go but my heart wouldn't allow it...I tried to love another guy but it is just not the same...I have no idea why this is happening to me...in a way I feel silly because last time I used to laugh at my friends for pining for people who didn't love them back...and now I am in the exact, same predicament. *sigh*...maybe this is my retribution... -
Pains her heart still stick with that guy. At least avoidance can help to diminish the friendship. Guy should also understand and try to avoid.
Will you? Or would you stay with him/her? -
I have tried to avoid him...but I realize that the friendship means more than anything to me so I can't let it diminish just like that...sumtimes wonder what will happen after we both graduate and then go on our own way...sure wun see each other again...the friendship will just fade away like a withering flower by the road...

sometimes it's easier to cling on to something to keep sanity.Originally posted by coolger03:lose mean lose liao...
does it matter whether u lose to who or what or nothing??
ok let's use layman's terms.
if a girl left me becos of another guy, at least i know why. if she left me just like that, and i have no clue, i'm just gonna be thinking all kinds of funny things as to why she left.
when u're in pain, u just need to hold on to something till sanity returns. that's wat i meant.
u're right too, when u lose something/someone, it doesn't matter how, AFTER u regain sanity. -
depends on how u look at it lor.. read my above post.Originally posted by DeadPoet:Hmm... that is even sadder. -
i guess u can just decide whether u can live with the "what ifs" in your head, or as u say, losing the friendship.Originally posted by icyprincess:I have tried to avoid him...but I realize that the friendship means more than anything to me so I can't let it diminish just like that...sumtimes wonder what will happen after we both graduate and then go on our own way...sure wun see each other again...the friendship will just fade away like a withering flower by the road...
u're pretty normal, most girls will choose not to lose the friendship. -
I have that thought...exactly, which is what i'm going thru somehow. But your presentation is stronger.Originally posted by jOhO:sometimes it's easier to cling on to something to keep sanity.

Those funny things are hypothetically jigsaw puzzles, which are missing. And i have to create or figure out the completion, or draw answers from her.
Reason to move on is it solve the puzzle...or when sanity truly comes back .
Maybe...just maybe....the right person to save you that lost. Highly unlikely.
kudos to jOhO.... -
Maybe there are so many friends i've made and left at the same time.Originally posted by icyprincess:I have tried to avoid him...but I realize that the friendship means more than anything to me so I can't let it diminish just like that...sumtimes wonder what will happen after we both graduate and then go on our own way...sure wun see each other again...the friendship will just fade away like a withering flower by the road...
I held on to the old principle : Tian Sia Me You Bu Shan De Yan Xi - I'll leave it for FI to decode.
There must come a realisation in our lives, all good things must go or end some day, somehow.
What's more important are the values and teachings we've learnt from those friendship.
That drop of tear for a lost friend is worth years of friendship which may amount to nothing.
Just a thought....just a thought.
