The clocks go forward the clocks go back
Yet here I sit as if I were the only one
And oh you cannot hear me
Oh you cannot hear me
Can anybody hear me out there
How long is long enough to get over someone do you think?
I was just talking about this with one of my friends. She said something that makes a lot of sense. "It's time to get over someone when you can no longer live your life without mourning the demise of your relationship"
As someone who takes a shitload of time to get over things that are important to me, I actually realised she's right. It took me a year to get over the last person I loved. A FUCKING YEAR! What the hell is with that? I don't care how special a person is, or how much you miss them, a year is too long.
When you force yourself to be unhappy, what's the point? And whether we like it or not, we have control over our emotions to that level, I don't care what anyone says. When I decided to wake up and stop missing something that was obviously not meant to be, I stopped. One day I just decided that missing him constantly was only going to end up killing the person I've worked hard to become and it wasn't worth it anymore.
Sitting pining for someone, playing songs that depress you, thinking about things constantly, is ok, for a while, but it's not ok forever. It's not going to bring that person back, it's not going to make them love you again.
I believe that the person you love at that current moment is the love of your life. I thought I'd love the people I loved, forever, at that time. I don't, I'm not in love with either of them anymore. No matter how much it hurt me when I lost a person I loved, I got over it obviously, because I'm here now and I'm happy!
At some point ya just have to decide that you can always love someone, but you don't have to let it destroy you!
Just don't...
