"Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Live life to the fullest."

Now I am...

(a)

Hopelessly Addicted

Helplessly Attracted

Chemically Reacted

Naturally Acted

I don't know why

But suddenly am falling

Was I so blind???

I was loving you all the time...

 

(b)

destined to be in sorrow, blinded by love, longing for affection, reaching the stars, begging for smiles, wrapped by illusions, imagining kisses, dreaming for touches, hiding pain and anger and eaten by frustrations... but still... waiting for someone who will dig me from the mud i am in...

(c)

I feel like i am in a coma...

comfortably lying, but unconsciously bleeding

softly sleeping, but silently hurting

continuously breathing, but slowly dying...

board of remarks!
