What is there to prevent you from chasing your heart, if I may ask?
A man's life is too long to sigh through the grief of having to let go possibly the only love of his life, and too short to find the lost piece of the broken heart to mend it together.
"No man is an island, entire of itself........", John donne, a philosopher, said.
This world is not a place where a seemingly insignificant being like myself or yourself to stand alone in stubbornness being oblivious of what life has to offer and bring the two together who can lean on one another.
As the German rock group, Scorpions, mentioned in the lyrics of their song, your pride might have built a wall that neither of you can get through to reach to each other.
Let there be no regret if that's what you think will haunt you back later and put yourself in a lifelong grievance.
Why not let your screaming heart lead you through the darkness and get you out of the desolation.
When God created man who was supposed to be the servant being submissive to Him, He might have overlooked one fact and that was the man's capability to be able to defy and fight through his own destiny to change his fate.
This is what separates men from other lesser beings.
There is no 6th life after death to a man, I believe.
So I ask, are you being truly sincere to your heart or do you simply demonstrate a man's weakness by being submissive to the predestined fate.
I somehow have a feeling that you are hoist by your own petard.
As one poet said, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder".
Is it your will to withstand the sorrowful feeling for a long time to come?
If I may have been little too impertinent, please understand.
I just hate to see a woman of one's life slip by.
