Bunny Ears Everywhere.

As happens some times a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment, and sound stopped for much, much more than a moment. And then the moment was gone.
- John Steinbeck

Some times it's hard to get over certain things or people because it seems so beautiful, perfect and most importantly, unattainable. You think you know that person and spend your days and nights analyzing, interpreting and remembering all those sweet words he said, those little things he did that made your heart skip a beat and wondering what future that relationship will hold only to realize one day that it was all just a very sweet dream set in an idyllic world where you can't set foot upon.
You wake up, and the moment is gone.
Some people try very hard not to wake up under these dircumstances. It's like the reflection of a moon on the pond. It doesn't exist, it's unreachable and it has no master. The reflection seems so serene and real when the water is still, but a breeze will send ripples across the surface of the pond and the reflection will get twisted is ways unimaginable.
The sun rises at the break of dawn, and the reflection dwindles away.
Playing with fire is a dangerous matter, the future fraught with risks. It seems so beautiful in its glowing glory, put your finger in it and you'll have to pay the consequences. You might fuel it to burn brighter, you might suffocate it to fade away. The only thing that is certain is the heartache that will ensue.
You ask how could somebody so wonderful possibly deceive you in such a horrible manner. But wonderful is only your perception towards him and he has no obligation to fulfil that image. It is but a relative word in comparison to others and what you're judging is only skin deep. To quote John Steinbeck once again, "What a frightening thing the human is, a mass of gauges and dials and registers, and we can read only a few and those perhaps not accurately."
Live in the moment as it takes place. Let it go when the curtains fall.

haha, i guess i came up with that phrase because i would always say "wow so pretty" and you would always disagree so i guess beauty is really in the eyes of the beholder. besides, too many times have i thought highly of someone only to be let down.
