Passion misplaced


Have you ever waited with baited breath for a phone call or an email, from someone special, who was a complete stranger till sometime back? That usually signals start of a new relationship. You feel excited, nervous and elated about future prospects. Until ofcourse you realize that call or email is not coming anytime soon!

It wouldn't usually sting you that bad if you are also looking for a way out or get the feeling pretty early on that the other person isn't really looking for anything serious. Better even if you know the person isn't really interested in you. Atleast there are no expectations. However, what happened to me a few days back was just baffling. I am still trying to figure out if I got dumped and imagining the reasons for it. I knew things wouldn't work out before fixing up the date. However, decided to take the chance. I tried hard to remain disengaged but got drawn in by an apparent interest on the other side. A few intimate moments and deep secrets shared meant that I had dropped my initial inhibitions. Little did I know that the result would be this. Why would one want to share their deepest feelings and fears, when there is no genuine intent to get close? Isn't it really painful when you are initially not interested, then get drawn in due to the other person's persuasion and then eventually get dumped.

I fail to understand why someone would take the effort to make something beautiful and then just break it in a moment. Still wondering, was twenty six hours of pleasure worth days of distress. At least it makes for interesting reading.
