Your Happiness
He’s been getting plenty of text-messages lately.
And when he’s on the phone, he sounds happy.
He came home tonight, with a new haircut.
The old, grey hair was no more.
He looked younger, happier.
I noticed he was on the phone outside, talking to someone – I wonder why he wouldn’t come inside.
All these behaviors are just too peculiar for me not to be thinking about them.
I’m afraid this newfound happiness within him is caused by a woman.
I have mixed feelings about this.
If she makes him happy, who am I to say who he should or shouldn’t be involved with?
I know he’s entitled for his happiness too, and I won’t give him a hard time if he’s found that special someone he could finally grow old with.
The little girl in me still finds it hard to let go of who you are – of who you’ve been in all her life.
In my mind, you are still the person who carried me on your shoulders pretending to be an airplane.
But the other one – the more grown-up one, is truly happy for you.

Let the old girl tell the little girl
Nobody can tell what’s inside people’s mind, heart and soul, and every relationship is exclusive and private. It is difficult to judge on such situation, but you’re right, if he’s happy and you think that’s the best thing for him, you’ll let him be.
Finally Woken’s last blog post..I Don’t Understand…
Therry,
As Sting once sang ‘If you love somebody, set him free’.
……..if he comes back, he’s yours…if he doesn’t…..chase after him and keep him underground with chains and everything!!! *psychomode*
hahahahaha… *laughing on cn’s comment*
anyway… it’s a lovely way to show your feeling on that old man’s newfound happiness…
Agree with Eru… let the old girl tell the litttle girl…
I’m happy for him too… (hope you are not talking about your boyfriend…
‘coz if u do, then I think u’ll kill me )
Uhm… Agree with Eru… let the old girl tell the little girl, I know it’s not easy… I had my own experience about this and it needs a grown up me to accept it.
ecky’s last blog post..It hurts
hey girl.. miss you..
I think, as long as he is happy, you should be happy for him. cos “that” kind of happiness is something you cannot give him.
I’d give an arm and a leg to see my dad smile again.. shucks.. now you’ve made me miss my dad even more than usual..
i always encouraged my parents to get a divorce since 1) they fight all the time, 2) we’re no longer kids and there’s no real reason for them to stay together anymore.
if it makes them happier, then they should do it.
likewise, if your dad’s happier that way, then …that’s it i guess.

I’ve been there before … and am glad that finally the “old lil girl” can talk with the “lil girl” (quoting eru’s comment).
Trust me, he never forget his lil girl, even though he found someone to share his life.
Because someday at some point, we have our own too

you probably don’t really want to hear this, but let me say my bit.
- first off, it’s not easy, it’s not fun, it’s really hard and it hurts like a bitch. So probably want to hold off rushing with important decisions. Life has its less fun bits, we’re all supposed to make do with it.
- second is just a quick tip. It happens to me. Try texting him, every once in a while. Call him for dinner or ask him for ‘cuddles’. On Text. It’s good fun sometimes receiving fun text message. Just for entertainment. Who knows, it sometimes works on me.
take care, therry
i think this one is beautifully written
