touching love story
-
There was this guy who believed very much in true love and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl to appear. He believed that there would definitely be someone special out there for him, but none came.
Every year at Christmas, his ex-girlfriend would return from Vancouver to look him up. He was aware that she still held some hope of re-kindling the past romance with him. He did not wish to mislead her in any way. So he would always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady whenever she came back.
That went on for several years and each year, the guy would get a different girl to pose as his romantic interest. So whenever the ex-girlfriend came to visit him, she would be led into believing that it was all over between her and the guy.
The girl took all those rather well, often trying to casually tease him about his different girlfriends, or so, as it seemed! In fact, the girl often wept in secret whenever she saw him with another girl, but she was too proud to admit it. Still, every Christmas, she returned, hoping to re-kindle some form of romance. But each time, she returned to Vancouver feeling disappointed.
Finally she decided that she could not play that game any longer. Therefore, she confronted him and professed that after all those years, he was still the only man that she had ever loved. Although the guy knew of her feelings for him, he was still taken back and have never expected her to react that way. He always thought that she would slowly forget about him over time and come to terms that it was all over between them. Although he was touched by her undying love for him and wanted so much to accept her again, he remembered why he rejected her in the first place-she was not the one he wanted. So he hardened his heart and turned her down cruelly. Since then, three years have passed and the girl never return anymore. They never even wrote to each other. The guy went on with his life..... still searching for the one but somehow deep inside him, he missed the girl.
On the Christmas of 1995, he went to his friend's party alone. "Hey, how come all alone this year? Where are all your girlfriends? What happened to that Vancouver babe who joins you every Christmas?", asked one of his friend. He felt warm and comforted by his friend's queries about her, still he just surged on.
Then, he came upon one of his many girlfriends whom he once requested to pose as his steady. He wanted so much to ignore her ..... not that he was impolite, but because at that moment, he just didn't feel comfortable with those girlfriends anymore. It was almost like he was being judged by them. The girl saw him and shouted across the floor for him. Unable to avoid her, he went up to acknowledge her.
"Hi......how are you? Enjoying the party?" the girl asked.
"Sure.....yeah!", he replied.
She was slightly tipsy..... must be from the whiskey on her hand. She continued,
"Why...? Don't you need someone to pose as your girlfriend this year?" Then he answered, "No, there is no need for that anymore......"
Before he can continue, he was interrupted, "Oh yes! Must have found a girlfriend! You haven't been searching for one for the past years, right?" The man looked up, as if he has struck gold, his face beamed and looked directly at the drunken girl. He replied, "Yes......you are right! I haven't been looking for anyone for the past years."
With that, the man darted across the floor and out the door, leaving the lady in much bewilderment. He finally realized that he has already found his dream girl, and she was.....the Vancouver girl all along! The drunken lady has said something that awoken him.
All along he has found his girl. That was why he did not bother to look further when he realized she was not coming back. It was not any specific girl he was seeking! It was perfection that he wanted, and yes.....perfection!!
Relationship is something both parties should work on. Realizing that he had let away someone so important in his life, he decided to call her immediately. His whole mind was flooded with fear. He was afraid that she might have found someone new or no longer had the same feelings anymore..... For once, he felt the fear of losing someone.
As it was Christmas eve, the line was quite hard to get through, especially an overseas call. He tried again and again, never giving up. Finally, he got through......precisely at 1200 midnight. He confessed his love for her and the girl was moved to tears. It seemed that she never got over him! Even after so long, she was still waiting for him, never giving up.
He was so excited to meet her and to begin his new chapter of their lives. He decided to fly to Vancouver to join her. It was the happiest time of their lives! But their happy time was short-lived. Two days before he was supposed to fly to Vancouver, he received a call from her father. She had a head-on car collision with a drunken driver. She passed away after 6 hours in a coma.
The guy was devastated, as it was a complete loss. Why did fate played such cruel games with him? He cursed the heaven for taking her away from him, denying even one last look at her! How cruel he cursed! How he damned the Gods...!! How he hated himself....for taking so long to realize his mistake!! That was in 1996.
The moral of this story is : -
Treasure what you have...
Time is too slow for those who wait;
Too swift for those who fear;
Too long for those who grief;
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love...
Time is Eternity.
For all you out there with someone special in your heart, cherish that person, cherish every moment that you spend together that special someone, for in life, anything can happen anytime. You may painfully regret, only to realise that it is too late. -

Understandable... i was very apprehensive as i had not seen her for a long time, worried she may be attached, married etc etc..
What's the most heart-breaking ... Argghhh..... she was actually single when i met her again early this yr.
She had 3 relationships aft us... but single when i saw her again. I tod heaven was at last showerin me with kindness..
Haiz.. But we still lost contact in a F** up way soon aft. Jus wasn't meant to be..
I still remembered her words... Should i meet her again yrs later & i am a millionaire (or at least make it in some ways) I will definitely propose to her -
Hmm.....i dunno about u guys.....but for me.....i am trying my best to harden my heart and just treat her as a fren. After all.....if she can reject me 3 yrs ago.....y would she accept me now rite?Originally posted by A Beautiful Mind:Understandable... i was very apprehensive as i had not seen her for a long time, worried she may be attached, married etc etc..

And for the sentence regarding the marriage.....i feel it is rather irresponisble to say such things. Coz i feel like she is just treating me like a safety net so when she reach tat certain age.....she is sure at least someone will want her.
Anyone have comments on the 2nd paragraph?? -

i lost my girl about 3 months back. was about to give up hope on everything and just send her an email for a clean break. (instead of still meeting up and acting like we are still a couple). but after reading this, i guess i shall just fight for the one i love.
i really miss her alot. i really do. -

Hey hope u guys dun mind me interruptin.
Life isn't a bed of roses and not everything will turn out to be the way u least expected it.
If u chose to give up on the one u admire, love or watever, make sure u dun regret.
I always believe tat if u still hasn't got over the one u love, it means there's something unclarified.
Think abt it, wat goes wrong?? Is there anything tat both of u had not clarify with each other over the years?
Y keep it in ur heart, i mean u dare to love this person, y dare u dare to tell him or her?
Even if u got rejected before, doesn't mean u dun stand a chance winning his/her heart. Unless u r rejected by him/her recently.
But definitely, as a girl, i will always remember the guy whom i had rejected or missed out in the past. I mean girls are more likely to appreciate them even thou they dun have the feel for u. But they will remember u, who knows some yrs down the road, they might changed their minds and decide to give it a try?
Dun give up easily.... Its not easy to find a person whom u love so much. The feeling is completely different from finding a soul mate who loves u.
Althou pple always say tat finding a person who loves u is better than finding the person u love. I still tinks tat the one in ur heart is the most important one in ur life.
Juz like me, no matter how many bf i had in the past, even up till now, I still cudn't deny tat i love my 1st most. He's the only guy who i still have feelings even thou i have a bf. I know it sounds like i m slutty, but at least i know in my whole life, I love Him.
U can look thru my threads, my stories wif him hasn't end yet. We actuali met up on and off continuously for the past few yrs.
