Give your heart a break

Ohmygod this song just keeps playing and playing and playing in my head. I can't get it out! Something 'bout the lyrics to this song is so meaningful.

Cause you've been hurt before, I can see it in your eyes
You try to smile it away, some things you can't disguise
Don't wanna break your heart, maybe I can ease the ache, the ache
So let me give your heart a break

On this fateful day, 14th February, many couples, lovers alike, celebrate a romantic occasion with their partners. Some prefer to load the day with frills - flowers, chocs, posh dinner, lovey-dovey messages and walks; the list is not exhaustive, while some others simply spent today in the quiet company of each other.

And then we have the group, termed the Forever Alone group, which sadly, consists of people who do not have a Valentine to celebrate with. Damn.

Why are people constantly searching for the right companion? Because there is this staunch belief that everyone has someone in this world. This particular person would be the person whom you would end up spending your life with, no matter blah blah blah I'm not gonna recite the oath here. But yea, that's why we want to find these keys to our locks, and ours to theirs, vice versa.

It doesn't matter, ultimately, whether or not this person is the perfect one for you. Your perfect soul-mate is but a figment of your own imagination. In reality, your partner is far from your perfect standards. And that is the intriguing part - it was never meant to be that way. No matter who he / she is, this person is an individual whom you must accept for who they are. You will never find a key that fits perfectly into your lock, because there is no such key. Always remember that you should never try to make your partner a caricature of your ideal partner. He / She will be the key that will modify himself / herself to fit into your lock, and you are the person to decide who is the right one to unlock it.

And when you see those people in your lives who have found their mutual keys and locks, you feel so very happy for them. The "awww" and "so sweet!" moments just melt your heart away, because although you long for this sort of romance, you haven't found it yet, so the least you could do is feel happy for them. Secretly, you hope that this would happen to you someday.

I won't deny it - I am jealous of them. You mean you're not? Lies. Some call them the "lucky ones", so be it. Your turn and my turn will come haha.
