People say that time will heal everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tend to disagree. Time doesn't really heal it.&lt;br /&gt;At least not in the context of when you use the word heal, as in healing cold, or fever or cough..&lt;br /&gt;In those cases, once the sickness is gone, you can go back to your old self, without any traces of the sickness in you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With love, it's a bit more complicated...cross out the word bit, it's FAR more complicated...&lt;br /&gt;If it's possible to inspect the heart under a microscope, I almost believe that perhaps you can see a bit of dent here in there...After all, haven't we all been through those moments in life where it hurts so bad that you can literally feel a sting in your heart?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what time actually does is that it will help your heart to almost go back to the way it was, but the dents and bruises would remain there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next question would be, what do you do with those dents and bruises..Well, nothing actually.&lt;br /&gt;This is not to sound pessimistic, but the more you cover your dents and bruises with Band-Aid (read: pretending it doesn't hurt like hell..) or the more anesthetic you use (read: consolation companionship or rebound guy/girl or whatever anesthetic you have in mind), the harder it is for you to recover...&lt;br /&gt;Cos at the end of the day, you realize, substitution just doesn't feel like the real thing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides, those Band-Aid and anesthetic will only lead to internal bleeding..&lt;br /&gt;DEFINITION of INTERNAL BLEEDING from BREAKUP 101:&lt;br /&gt;The state when you walk out feeling like you are totally OK, while actually you're dying inside..And it is undetected...And suddenly, you can't even feel anything anymore...numb..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, no Band Aid for me...I would rather embrace the pain, wallow in my misery..Rather than having one of those internal bleeding..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cos when you look back, you realize that when love offers you its hands...&lt;br /&gt;You don't want to feel numb, you would want to embrace it with open arms..&lt;br /&gt;When life is kind enough to let you go on that beautiful journey...&lt;br /&gt;You will finally understand that those dents and bruises are worth every bits of beautiful moments you experience during that lil' journey of LOVE...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'
