What does it take for one to give up? After a few heart breaks or tons of rejections?

It is easy to say to move on to others when you have gone through that same path. You know it is insanely painful yet you insist that time heals everything.

"Don't worry. You'll find someone who would treat you right." That is what a friend would say after sharing an hour of the heartbreak story. But, how long would it takes for a heart to heal and to accept new love again?

I was at home enjoying a cup of ice tea when my girlfriend called me, asking me out for drinks. In her tone of her voice, I could tell that something happen.

Couple of hours later, we met up at holland to get drinks and snacks. She was trying to put up a strong look and ask me what I have been up too. Knowing someone for many years has its peaks. I pretended I didn't notice the voice change and the puffy eyes and told her what I have been up too. We talk for awhile when she asked me some odd questions and that was when I asked her to spilled out what was in her mind. The heartbreaks and breakups.

I was stunned. I knew she was having some trouble with her boyfriend and didn't thought anything of it. For a moment, I stare at her not knowing what to say to her. My mind goes blank and nothing seems to come out from my mouth.

Knowing that no amount of words could ever cheer her up, I suggested to get a tub of ice cream and eat up the sorrows away. We ended up at the playground swinging ourselves like little kids.

That night, I wasn't sure whether I put a smile on my girlfriend's face but I do hope I did. I tried hard putting aside my own heartbreak and putting herself above mine.
