Hold my hand because I might disappear | the perfect line

Hold my hand because I might disappear

I wonder how people can become small in the blink of an eye. Can anything ever be so big that you can just erase a person from your life like they never existed? (Besides something totally outrageous and unfair, of course)

How can you bring yourself to forget the time spent with a friend, a relative, a sibling, a special someone based on one mistake? Some times people make mistakes on purpose, for fear of losing, for fear of crying, for fear of falling apart may be. May be they aren't so bad and you would know, only if you give them, rather, give yourself a fair chance. Can you ask yourself to catch that single twinkle of a genuine sorry, a look that says, hey, I'm sorry I couldn't help it, I'm sorry things had to turn out this way but I couldn't tell... I couldn't see, I wanted you till the very last minute, 'cause you were special and I didn't want to lose a single moment.

Hold my hand because I might disappear.

I have yet to find out what exactly goes on into the mind of a person who decides to say a "good bye". May be I'm too young to actually comprehend the severity of a farewell. Or may be I'm old enough to know how to let go or better yet, forgive: Forgive like there's no "good bye" in this world. You decide.

Note: Just a little something I came up for a friend. She says she knows herself well, but there are some things she just gives up at. One being what this post talks about.

The same thoughts were running in my mind a few days back!

But I feel some "good-byes" are inevitable. Sometimes its too tough to forgive...or it takes long time to forgive...

Yes I agree, some good byes are indeed inevitable. And from such experiences, you learn to let go. Thanks for the read Meera :)

I have to admit that this blog hits close to home for me cause I'm on the verge of cutting someone out. Actually 5 someones out. They are family that have lived with me for the last 4 years (almost) & have slowly made me go from loving, to tolerating, to disliking, to feeling I just gotta do it to keep my sanity. Not an easy decision and over time maybe things could be mended enough to be friends again but the relationship will never be the same. Long history but you don't really know what you'd do until you have dealth with the situation and I hope that you never have to know :-)

This post made me think. I feel there are times someone must say goodbye (such as, abuse). But on lesser accounts, to give up on a friend or dream could be wrong. Thank you for inspiring me contemplate this.

Can't exactly say, what that person think coz every person has unique characteristics with different preferences, I've learnt something that i'd like to share -- Dig a grave in your heart before making a friend and bury your friends weaknesses in it --

no one could say good bye to anyone unless its the final journey. when you dont know the future, lets just say "bye for now". atleast the whole good bye thing is too complicated for me to understand. or maybe its just that i havnt faced enuf life to understand the inevitability of the phrase.

Its called BEING selfish and a BAD HEART.. in simple words a lot of such people are there and we need to keep ourself away from such people, the worst are the ones who boast and promise and all that pallava they come out with , and these days people have become more selfish they will do anything to use one as a step to move forward in life ... __I do think too the same way cause of things that have happeend and do sometimes think how can such people look at themself in the mirror everyday ... dont they feel like killing themself or ASHAMED of what they did or do __<a href="http:\\mannbikram.wordpress.com">Bikram's

I am not a person who believes in "good byes" as of today. Notion being there is nothing that can be sorted out between the two persons but perhaps you do have a point. There is no point in carrying some serious emotional baggage along. Should it become absolutely inevitable at some point, better to amputate that limb.

Nice thought Mehreen,

This feeling is not new to me have been in and out of it 2 times before ..one of it..happened to be on a funnier side ..but end result was strange unexpected ....what can you say when ..You are sorry for words spoken in distress and other is also in distress ..but if one apologize for what one said and other not ready to accept that..? and says a good bye.

I wrote a poem last year on that ..what it feel if you don't get a chance to say goodbye

Mehreen,

It is not at all easy to say Goodbye to someone you are close to. But there are times when one has no option because of act of that person. One may forgive some minor mistakes or sayings for few times but if it is something too big, then it is better to severe ties rather than to suffer more. This is to keep own sanity.

Take care

Hi Mehreen,
I hate “good byes” too...
I can never make peace with the fact that someone who is once a part of your life, decides to leave just like that...
I feel it is improbable from my end and such acts of others always keep me wondering.
Beautiful thought!

Sometime You have to forgive that person even you don't want to coz it can shake your whole relation which is connected by that person.I hate to that but always I have to.Your post makes me unstable.
