Now I know you...

For the 'Two Lines Only....Can You Do it?' contest

The more I see of the world around me,

The more I realize what you are worth to me.

 

 

Author's Note

We realize the value of people after we�ve lost them.
We see the good in them after we�ve seen the bad in others.

Ah.. Its sad. I love when we say a lot with so little words its when we loose the threads..and leave it open. And you've done it so wonderfully. Great.
Indeed it's true that we value something when it's gone (be it time, people, friends... anything). . And it's the irony of life. When we have them we don't keep them don't value them the way they deserve but when they're gone then we realise our mistakes..when we lost that very chance. But it somehow tells us to value everything we have right now..to show them respect to give them love to smile for them..with them..to value them every moment. So that we must not regret later. Everyone is so special and that's why they're in your life..to make it special.
Anyways brilliant write. Blessings dear. Take care.
And yeah remember..there's never a coincidence in life =]

a hard truth, but now that you are aware you can appreciate those around you with more clarity...short and deep..

You could not have said this better,and yes i love how you have left the thread open for others to share their view on this.It is for everyone of us,loss has to be experiences by each one of us..it just has to be,we spend years avoiding it,but it has to come one day in the most unexpected and harshest of the ways.I hope you find some comfort when i say that every relationship has its term and lessons,they end when the lesson have been learned..those which have to last will last anyways..don't beat yourself upon it.I know it is very painful,but it too shall pass.

Your words are profound. Truly you said so much in so little. Yes, it is true we do the good in others after we see the bad in others. Very thoughtful piece!

"The more I see of the world around me,
The more I realize what you are worth to me."

This is so much in depth, yes! I agree with you�we only see the good in any individual only after experiencing the bad from others.
Once in a lifetime, we find someone who completely changes our life by just being a part of it, or sometimes by even not being a part of it. And its very strange that how we gives them our heart expecting them to keep it in a safe place but, sometimes even though if they breaks it, we keeps on loving them with each and every broken piece of our heart�This strange feeling is called love!

The tragedy of that relationship has been explained brilliantly here, I got that sense of belonging, sadness, pain and a little sense of regret in just two lines.

The picture is also depicting that emotion perfectly here,


Another great work by you , welcome back!
