Destructive Distillation

Strangers in Empty Space

07 August 2006 by Vemana

Some people just move out of our lives without notice. They just fade away. Others move away leaving indelible marks of various emotions.

Those who we once regarded as closest seem no more that way. Sometimes that hurts, some times it doesnt matter but we always wonder why.

How is that we are strangers now inspite of having the thickest of friendships. How is that there is nothing to talk now, while days together werent enough then?

There are instances where we mistake a person for what he is. Give him more worth than he deserves. Well mistakes happen and we have to move on. The same with the others too.

Finally the only thing that matters in life is me. Something not worth me need not bother me.


We Might As Well be Strangers
by Keane
(edited lyrics..click to get the song)

I don't know your face no more,
Or feel the touch that I adore,
I don't know your face no more,
It's just a place I'm looking for,

We might as well be strangers in another town,
We might as well be living in a different world,
We might as well,
We might as well,
We might as well,

I don't know your thoughts these days,
We're strangers in an empty space,
I don't understand your heart,
It's easier to be apart,

How true how true...
Though I wouldn't agree that I am selfish. People do matter to me. People also matterED to me. Its just time and distance that does things to relationships. I am not sad. Nor are they. Life goes on... anyway.

A very dangerous topic, this one. Trust me, no one who hasnt been wronged would write this up. Thats the whole point , we wont realized until we've been wronged.
"Finally the only thing that matters in life is me. Something not worth me need not bother me".. thats a capital remark. Clappon . If that is so , if u got ur value system ready then peace is every step. I congratualte you. Uve made an exceedingly important discovery, but the cathc is.. u must get ur value system right, to work furtehr. all the best.

Sooooo True... Thats how exactly my closest of relations got away from me... And thats exactly how I felt... I looked back for him but never saw him... I waited for him but he never came... At the end of it all, it just makes me feel that I gave him more worth than he ever deserved... May be I'm wrong... Who knows... and who cares... As u said, its "me" that matters and its "me" that SHOULD matter...

You must be knowing what and whom I'm talking about...

Neyways... nice post!!

Its amazing how I could relate atleast one person in my life to every single line of this post of yours..
strange, really it is.. who can understand all of humans' myriad patterns of behaviour after all..
People come and go, and however short, we have a story with them all.. (if you recall When Harry Met Sally)
