a fresh outlook

so i went to have coffee wif a fren last nite,
whom ive been out of touch for awhile now.

it s always nice to know,
that no matter how long we've not spoken to each other,
let alone see one another,
that when we do,
it was as if, nothing has changed.

we can still talk like we used to,
joke around,
just be ourselves.

and of course,
like in any other conversations,
the topic of relationship was brought up.

just earlier in the day,
i was having coffee w anotha fren,
the same topic came up,
n it seems like she was in the same situation he was.

they were both unhappy being in the relationship,
but they were in one,
simply because they were too scared to hurt the other.

n i thought to myself.
is it fair?
is it fair for both of them to , reluctantly be in that relationship?
is it fair for their partners, who were led to believe that they were happy
when in fact, they just felt obliged.
n i thought,
no it's not.
prolonging it,
waiting for the 'right' time,
hoping things will change n get better.
that s a whole load of crap.

it s not wise prolonging it,
cos ure just cheating ur own feelings as well as hers,
there s nvr a right time to break up.
n u cant hope for things to get better,
when u dont want them to get better.

it's not fair to ur partners.

also,
what i realised was,
i had a fresh outlook on how the guy's minds work.
it's pretty interesting to have it the other way around.
n to look back,
with this new point of view,
everything s starting to make sense.
all my past relationships.
it's all starting to make sense.

n now that it has,
i feel liberated.
it's weird, i know.
but i feel free and i dont feel guilty.
it s nice.

it really does take two to tango,
whether u dance it gracefully,
or u keep stepping on each other s foot.
it takes two to tango.

i gues it s true wat ppl say,
try to put urself in the other person's shoes
and ull understand.
