Over

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

yeah... so anyway... its over.

I believe her - her feelings have changed - i still don't quite get why, but maybe thats not that important, what maters is i believe her, andi have to let her go. We talked a bit this afternoon and exchanged xmas presents - i have a nice shirt.

so its over.

gutted, but i know, and i went out like a muthe f*cking gentleman, of which i am vaguely proud.

So sad i will never make love to that beuatiful girl again.

anyone goyt any fit singlemates? preferably female.

Thankyou all so much - your support has means the world to me.

gonna be weird for a while...

Mate, you've taken this with a dignity and bravery that I can only hope I could've done. You rock.

It's hard it's painful... but now, its onwards and upwards.

I'm sorry to hear that Paul. It sounds like you handled it well, and that's worth a lot.

I wish you all the best, we'll all be here for you when you need us.

Take care.

of course you will. But you're strong enough to go on with your life.

And we're always here for you, in both good and bad times.

I feel that maybe these wise words are appropriate.

Dry Your Eyes


In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round
I stand there for a minute starin' straight into the ground
Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down
World feels like it's caved in - proper sorry frown
Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us
I can change and I can grow or we could adjust
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
We can even have an open relationship, if you must
I look at her she stares almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze over like she's lookin' straight through me
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
When they open up she's lookin' down at her feet

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over

So then I move my hand up from down by my side
It's shakin', my life is crashin' before my eyes
Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies
Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh
'Cause I can't imagine my life without you and me
There's things I can't imagine doin', things I can't imagine seein'
It weren't supposed to be easy, surely
Please, please, I beg you please
She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested
She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she's blessed with
She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures
By pushin' my hand away to my chest, from hers

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over

And I'm just standin' there, I can't say a word
'Cause everythin's just gone
I've got nothin'
Absolutely nothin'

Tryin' to pull her close out of bare desperation
Put my arms around her tryin' to change what she's sayin'
Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in
Look into her eyes to make her listen again
I'm not gonna ******', just ******' leave it all now
'Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow
And you're gonna let our things simply crash and fall down
You're well out of order now, this is well out of town
She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist
Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight
Turns around so she's now got her back to my face
Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over

I know in the past I've found it hard to say
Tellin' you things, but not tellin' straight
But the more I pull on your hand and say
The more you pull away

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now.

not doubting the shiteness of the streets, however, the lyrics are fitting at this time.

I find Skinner oddly comforting. Though those lyrics are probably the last thing you want to hear right now...I saw Sunshine of the Spotless Mind this weekend and I was crying like a baby :(
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Mike "The Streets" Skinner is a genius for proving so many people are amusical fools.

*Presses the "that'll end poorly" button*

Seriously, what will that accomplish? The chances she'll suddenly reverse course and accept your point of view are virtually nil, given what you've said. Going there will simply result in an emotional argument that'll hurt everyone.

Best to let sleeping dogs lie and deal with this in other ways, such as others here have mentioned, such as the letter.
