Whenever this month of hearts rolls along, I remember a riend of mine who had a big crush on a girl back in college. He had a hard time expressing his feelings to the girl and it was obvious the girl wasn't interested in him. All she did was through false promises and rehearsed explanations at the poor fellow. In the end, he gave up because he finally realized he was knocking on wood. To this day, I feel sorry for him but atleast he put an end to this futile pursuit. When I remember what he went through, it reminds me of the song "Endless Nights" by Eddie Money.
It hurts when the people you love leaves you hanging, especially when you want to be with them so bad. I guess a simple no is always better than a long-run-around where they raise your hopes up for nothing. When they do that, you feeling that you're on the outside looking in. My friend still talks bitterly over that experience to this day. I can tell you that feeling really stinks because you realize you're being played for a fool and nobody wants that.
Sometimes we still wait becuase we really love the person so much. In the end, we have to open our eyes and face the facts. You have to accept the fact that somethings were never meant to be. Just chalk it up as part of life's experience and move on. There are others out there who are more deserving if you look harder. That would put an end to those endless nights.
