Of a pain that will never subside

Boy meets gal. But it ain the much clichéd love at first sight thingy. It took boy 7 years to realised that. Realised that deep inside, he had etched that puppy love down inside, stashed away like a branded mark, never to be removed.

Yet, his Parker-sque, pusillanimous approach towards love never materialised into a blossomed bed of roses. (fart’s reading “The death of Gwen Stacy”) Protocol was stupid, but he kept the pain to himself. He didn’t believe in commitment. He still doesn’t. Because he can’t come to terms with the pain that comes attached. Perhaps he is just afraid of getting hurt.

But who isn’t?

爱得太久，心容易醉。

恨得太久，心容易碎。

My eyes touched hers today. Yet, the foremost reaction was to shun her and masquerade any chink of my acknowledgment via feigning. My heart gave myself away, however, when I looked far and wide for her moments after she presumably left.
Glances that were never rewarded.

Somehow, my brain went rummaging and this line just popped in.

"I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold."
