KT Tunstall song "Other Side of the World" still haunts me as it is is playing on the other computer, usually when I like a song I can totally relate to it, hell, I have a lot of stories...and I had 2 long distance relationships which actually did not work out..I should have known better,the first one, issue was communication, and deception..hayy...am not blogging about this for the heck of bringing up the idea that long distance won't work, it does work...for some, some who are willing to hurdle distance, money and issues of faithfulness...
According to KT,"The song is inspired by a couple of really close friends of mine. The girl is American and the guy is from St. Andrews in Scotland where I live. I met them years ago and they've been together for about 6 years but never lived in the same country. I made my way down to London and they came to visit me and they just decided that they couldn't be together anymore. I could see that they were completely in love with each other but neither was willing to sacrifice their lives, jobs and friends and there just wasn't enough love. I've been in long distance relationships myself, and everything to an extent is autobiographical when you're writing it, because it's your perspective of it. It's not recommended. I'm still in touch with them. 'Get back together!'" Darn, in music, you could just hear a lot of stories....
I dunno why I had 2 long distance relationships and usually I learn on the end...It never works for me...I wanted to but, they just give up easily....I wanted a good fight. but they chose to end it that way.
I remember how I don't care how much phone bill I have to shell out just as long as we communicate...and in fairness, they had their fair share...but..I think..it wasn't enough...There wasn't enough love I guess...
NOT Enough to not never mind the distance....
Not enough hope to stand up on trials and demons of pambabae...hahaha
Not enough to just love the idea of being in a relationship yet youre too far from each other to hug, hold hands, kiss and. hahahah...guess what, I withstood those my longest long distance relationship was 3 years...and in those times we met 45 days all in...
Not enough to seize the day of looking forward on the day you will just look forward on being together.
I guess I was too much hoping....
Hoping to what I thought is worth hurdling for, worth winning too...coz I thought, love is all that matters...I was too idealistic, I totally forgot....the real world doesn't rotate on how long, how far, how many times you have tried and failed and won, but, it will just work out because, you both want to...and need each other...
Both of those long distance relationships, was most of the time,,. one way...
Too bad, they were not willing to finish the line with me...
Makes sense?
