If You Love Someone...Just tell them already..;)

So the other night I watched the season finale episode of 'The Mentalist'. Finally after I don't know how many years, Patrick Jane( the lead character) conveys his heart felt feelings to Teresa Lisbon (the female lead). And this happens when she decides to move... to another state.. with her fiancé... to get married.

 

Why, why, why do we wait to tell someone how we feel about them ( and I am talking mostly about romantic feelings here) when they are leaving, or already said yes to someone else. Its so easy to take someone for granted when they are there with us all the time. We get so used to them, that it becomes difficult to really figure out what they mean to us.

 

And the kind of people I am talking about here are the ones who never show how they feel in general.. Usually reserved, they don't want anyone else to know what is going on in their head. The truth is, everyone knows. They are just being kind by not telling you that they know.

 

I laughed as I watched the episode as Jane openly declares in front of a lot of people how much he loves her. If he was wiser and smarter and I think a little humble- he could have probably had a  less embarrassing proposal;)

 

So here is the scene from the season finale.. Enjoy :)

 

 

Lost Love

‘T is better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all

This is the last line of the poem 'Lost Love' by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Somehow I have always preferred the latter half of the sentence. I never wanted to ever fall in love coz I always feared of being hurt- in case things never worked out. Well I did fall in love- and I was hurt- and it did not work out. Will obviously not go into all the details, but sometimes I hoped it had not happened.

I know that I am definitely a better person since then. God has His ways of teaching His children. I can be quite insensitive about this whole "love thing" but He taught me how to be compassionate. I learned to be sympathetic towards other people. The many tears that made my pillow wet in the night helped me to comfort someone else when they were going through something similar.

Anyways, in all of this I am just glad that God is sovereign over all situations and He is in complete control. And in these times He has been my best source of comfort :)

So here is the poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Lost Love

(From "In Memoriam")

I envy not in any moods

   The captive void of noble rage,

   The linnet born within the cage,

That never knew the summer woods;

I envy not the beast that takes

   His license in the field of time,

   Unfetter’d by the sense of crime,

To whom a conscience never wakes;

Nor, what may count itself as blest,

   The heart that never plighted troth

   But stagnates in the weeds of sloth;

Nor any want-begotten rest.

I hold it true, whate’er befall;

   I feel it, when I sorrow most;

   ‘T is better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all

While you were Sleeping

While you were sleeping has been one of my favourite movies since quite some time...its a simple love story between a man(Bill Pullman) and a woman(Sandra Bullock)..the reason i like this movie is coz that v always think we know who we will fall in love with...we have an image of that person in our mind..whether its how he looks or wat he likes etc etc...many a times we watch someone from afar and think, " Oh yes this is the person m gonna love and get married to".. but many times when we get to talk to THAT person we might actually not like him... thats how the story goes in this movie too.. Sandra Bullock works in a train station and she would see this guy(Peter Gallegher) everyday and she thought she was in love with him...as the movie goes on she ends up savin his life at the same train station...thus she gets to spend time with his family and also with Bill Pullman who happens to be the younger brother of Peter Gallagher..the chemistry between Bill Pullman and Sandra Bullock is really sweet..u gotta watch this movie to enjoy it..in the end all i have to say that we plan a lot of things in r lives as to whom we gonna marry, wat job v gonna take...but we might just do the exact opposite..u might never know wat u might like tomorrow..
