With the radio still blasting in my room, I fell asleep while lying on my bed. Woke up and turned the radio down, but I can't sleep anymore. For some reason, I woke up with a sense of heaviness in my heart. I missed him. Again.

Sometimes, I think listening more to the radio is a good thing. It reminds you to cherish what you have before you. Don't wait until you lose it, then regret. A reader wrote in to share his touching love story.

The story: There was this guy who loved this girl, since secondary school. That guy secretly liked this girl as days went by. In order to just to get a few more glimpse of her, he desperately made up chances to bump into her during sports events and school activities. His efforts came to true. People told him that the girl actually liked him. One day, when he finally made up the courage to confess his love to the girl the next day, his best buddy told him that he wanted to go after the girl he liked. Well, this shock and disappointment was non other that he could have ever felt. He chose to give up. His buddy tried to chase the girl he loved, but failed to do so. After they graduated, the girl had a boyfriend and they lost contact. His heart dashed. Then one day, he re-contacted the girl again through icq. He did not want to lose any more of his chances and he asked the girl whether she has a boyfriend now. She replied no. The guy asked whether he can go after her. The girl thought he was joking. Then, somehow they lost contact again. At his birthday last year, his friend organized a birthday party for him. All his friends came, including the girl. They chatted for hours outside. That night, he sent her home and the girl was scolded by her parents for returning home so late. At that point in time, he felt a tingle of sweetness because the girl got scolded for him. He did confess to her over the phone how much he liked her and hoped she gave him a chance. She needed time to think and before she gave a reply, she left for studies overseas in Penang. The guy was more determined than ever to win her heart. On her birthday, he secretly left for Penang to give her a surprise birthday celebration. Well, the girl was very touched. Then one day, she told him that she thought it was not really possible between them. The guy's tears almost fell when he heard that.

It's so sad that hear that one does not reciprocate love back to another. He's still waiting for the girl. Wrote his story to the radio and hoped his story gets read out and ultimately, moved the heart of his love one. I admire him for his patience to wait for this girl. 6 years of waiting. However, it seems like it ended before it even began.

Love is such a dreadful thing eh? It can make or break you. Lift you up to the sky and make you want to reach for the stars, or make you fall and make you realize that you had hit the ground. Only upon falling, then you will realize how much it hurts and how much you don't want to fall in love again. The emptiness in my heart hurts really badly. I fell a really long way.

There's nothing ever that bothers me so much. Making me think so much and have dull pains in my heart. Every single day..
