I was reading a fellow blogger’s posting the other day and it really really got me thinking. The article was based on the movie Serendipity, a romantic comedy. The storyline goes that two complete strangers run into each other and chemistry hits them like an atomic bomb but fate took over, they parted, went their individual ways back to their respective partners. 5 years ahead, both are about to get married, but they still have each other on their mind!

I have been there before…

Ok, although nearly not as dramatic, I have been in a position where I still harbored thoughts about someone else while I was in a relationship. Not everyone can confess to that, and most keep it within ourselves, but I can almost guess that most of us live with “what-ifs” in reference to a love, lust or memory we just can’t erase. I didn’t cheat nor did I take steps to promote an affair, but I secretly did hold the torch for a very long time and occasionally wondered, what if.

I was talking to my BFF and she told me about her run in with her ex and his new chick (a condescending term we use on all exes new “friend”). She confessed that she still thinks of him occasionally but could never see herself marrying him…ever. Funny isn’t it how some loves and lovers stick with us and leave such a deep mark in our lives. Who knows what will ever happen if we decide to take the plunge. I know one such a friend who was in a wonderful relationship, but chose to pursue the man of her dreams. She told me that she couldn’t get dreamboat out of her mind and she would regret her life if she never tried. It was a disaster! She lost both of them, along with the relationship and friendship.

Some like her are daring enough to try, but I doubt I’ll be willing to ruin a good thing by caving in to temptation. Then again, who knows. After all, I do still hold the torch for that person…
