How do you know that something is true if you don't wait long enough for it to happen on it's own?
Say you're always the one to initiate the conversation, does that person even want to talk to you?
Did they miss your presence throughout all the years that you were apart, or were they happy to forget you?
Has it been too long?
If absence truly makes the heart grow fonder, does that mean they didn't care for you as much as you thought in the first place?
Are the connections that you thought were real and unbreakable no matter what in fact, nonexistent?
Are you reading too much into the past because you're perception has been off all along?
Is it time to hold on, or time to let go?
Are you crazy?
Am I crazy?
Stop following me, I do not know where I am going.

    These are all good and interesting questions.

    Luckily, I think the answers really depend on the individuals involved. So, ultimately, I think you just have to do what you want to do.

    Truth is your choice, made in an instant.


    Say you're always the one to initiate the conversation, does that person even want to talk to you?

    Maybe.

    Did they miss your presence throughout all the years that you were apart, or were they happy to forget you?

    If so, it's only a fantasy. If they wanted to be with you, they would've let you know.


    Has it been too long?

    Sounds like it.

    This isn't a true addage. I think it applies only to people you love. If you love them and want them, when they're gone, you feel those things more.

    Are the connections that you thought were real and unbreakable no matter what in fact, nonexistent?

    Some of them, absolutely. Not only that. Connections change. Nothing's unbreakable, especially connections.


    Are you reading too much into the past because you're perception has been off all along?

    I'm not ;)... living in the past is an excercize in futility. Split milk. Wipe it up and move on.

    Is it time to hold on, or time to let go?

    It is always time to let go. Ask the Buddists. Ask God directly... They will always say "yes".

    Are you crazy?
    Am I crazy?

    Nope. Just learning. We are always learning.




    Peace :):):)

    Man, dude you dissected the hell out of her poem.

    No, the piece is framed as a series of questions, and whether it's an internal dialogue rather than a direct address to the narratee, it implies a wish for response. The piece PastaNazi wrote is a response, and an interesting piece of work in the same vain.

    Thanks, to both writers.

    Same vein, too. ;)
  • This for me is an example of rhetorical questions that the person never liked the answers to. It's just a small fish in the big pond of their life, rather than the central preoccupation or anything. Sometimes it's good to "let those rooms out" when they bubble up to the top. And PastaNazi's answers, for me, reiterate what was already known, just not what was secretly, inconsequentially, back-of-the-mindedly hoped. :D
