There comes a point in time when you just take people close to you for granted. They become part of your life, you breathe their existence that sometimes it is hard to distinguish the important role they play in your life. You are sure they will just be there. It will become mechanical and soon you blur them out. Instead of cherishing every moment and putting value in every minute you are together, you just chalk it up to being together in general. Why does time do this? Why does time make us realize that we are missing out on the important persons in our life only when the important person is on the verge of disappearing? Do we really have to lose someone before we decide that we should have "spent more time together, talked more together, gave attention and listened to what they were saying more often, more more more". I'm not sure but I think saying "If only I knew I'd lose you I would have done everything to prevent that from happening" is actually very stupid. It speaks a lot of how you handle relationships. It is like planting a seed, waiting for it to grow, and once it had blossomed you lose the enthusiasm. The rain and the sun and the wind will take care of the plant, it will live on its own and happily grow if left untended. If it dies you say "what did I do wrong?" You ignored it so much it died on its own. |
