I Can Still Feel .......


After so many of feeling mutual about an emotion defined as too close to be called "romantic" and yet treated only as "platonic" or being soulmates, the other person eventually feels tired of waiting for the next level to set in, which later converts into a feeling of rejection. Next thing you know, he withdraws, and just stops. You probably are still connected by social media such as , but there is no way you can tell if he viewed your posts because he does not leave any footprints such as "like, heart, etc.

So, what do you do? You still want the person the way things were with you, but he does not settle for less than his expectation, but you just have the hunch that he is just still there, and the feeling is still there..

.....Or is it me, with a wishful thinking that things come back the way they were?

we long for what used to be, more so when you know there are traces or trails that you can go back to..the more you pine the more you want ...yes! that happens..but because we know as the woman, who feels that the wooing is always our privilege, no exerted first move will be possible from our end...we find harder to bear or do something about it..we stand and wait, that's all we could do...maybe a friend or someone could act as a go-between to connect you to that person, that may be a wistful thinking, to mend what is happening..however, because pride is there neither may initiate, so the lost becomes permanent...

And to be honest? I feel that I am being punished by the person for pretending to ignore, only to find out that he is up to date with what's new with my life. That's when I knew that he still cares and are following through....

Now I wonder if he is finding you hard to reach or that he's just not ready to get into a serious relationship yet, but fine enough seeing you well and good so far..but it is a loss in my opinion for him to be wasting those times when you both could be saying...."living happily ever after"...commitment for something permanent may also not be a choice for now on his part...but who knows, time may change his regard...i pray he does it sooner...

Maybe his lost, but, not mine...I am A-okay. I just want to remain friends with him

For things to change, someone has to make an effort. When I travel, it is to see people, not places so much. A few of my virtual relationships have endured for a long time, and the feelings are strong and deep, but do not need to change. When travel becomes possible again I will go to renew the acquaintance
