There are two people who share their deepest secrets, promise each other everything and then, part ways as if it was just another deal. They can even spot each other at gatherings, public places, exchange cordial pleasantries, jive on and the later calmly tell their friends how they had a scene with them. They’re the people who have moved on – they don’t get lost in pensive wanderings of the mind during busy weekdays at work, they don’t feel the hollow vacuum trying inside the rib cage that’s trying to suck the meaning out of everything – their eyes still have the shine, their shirts ironed, shoes shining and hearts pumping with the excitement of being gratified again, over and over. They’re alright BUT, it’s not them we’re going to talk about. It’s the rest, just a handful, who feel everything mentioned above and can’t do much about it – let’s consider them. Because for some, it’s not all about the bigger better deal. It can’t be analogized to losing a job and landing a better package – no, for them it something far away from the materialistic approach. Nothing else compares to the dreams once shared, the familiarity, the time, the essence and it was never something replaceable. It was something they never owned but were promised it was theirs in a world where nothing lasts forever. A gullible heart, a sensitive soul couldn’t help but fall for the promise. Does it mean they’d never be promised again by someone else? No, of course not but it was not about filling the void with whatever comes their way. Every puzzle has a block that fits perfectly – you lose that block and you just have to play with that one hole in the picture.

Because some just find solace in breaking every norm.

When scorned in love, they tend to lose regard of the society. The nakedness of the society with all its hypocrisies, dubiousness, double standards appear to prominent to their eyes. Therefore, they break every norm that society throws at their faces. Not that by doing this they feel holier than thou but it is a strange satisfaction of being the non-conformist that drives them.

They refuse to move on and find a partner for companionship, security, convenience and most importantly, social relevance.

The idea of social coupling, dating scenes, hook ups amuses them and not in a good way. They live by their own, with happiness never being in priority list because they don’t buy the made up standards of happiness anymore. They see the world as it is, observe like horizons like beasts in the wild and if and when they’re tired of the charade, they end their lives at times – no questions asked.

It’s better to dismiss them as stuck up fools because we can’t convince them to join us in our intoxicated gyrations.
