Adventures of a lonely heart.

Ever felt like shouting "I LOVE YOU" at the top of your voice because to just say the words wouldn't quite sum up the emotion? Ever felt like no matter how much you say the words, no matter what you do or how often you do it, that person will never understand how you feel? Ever tried to reach out and grab someone by the heart and been like the kid who swings himself on the swing... for all his effort the results are far from spectacular but he convinces himself it's down to technique and with a bit of practice he'll have it nailed. Well then join the club (we have cookies!).

I've felt like that about a girl before. The worst part of it was that I focussed my sights solely on this one girl because of course she's the one. "I may be young but course I know what love is, there ain't no feeling stronger than this one here." And in doing that I missed opportunity after opportunity to meet other girls. Looking back they came and pretty much said "Hey what about me?" but soon moved on when I failed to acknowledge their open offers. And now I pay the price. 

Now that I've seen the error of my ways I find myself on my own with a lonely heart struggling to find love. And now I'm the one saying "Hey what about me?" and they're the ones not listening because they're all happy in the 'perfect' relationship. I can blame my mistakes on ignorance or on naivety but at the end of the day it doesn't matter because I won't have that time or opportunity again. Looking forward it feels like the adventures of a lonely heart might turn out to be an epic. 

For now farewell
