the soft spot

I realised I wanted to post something here and i forgot. So here goes the 3rd post in a day.

Over the last week, I received messages from 2 girls I used to love. Both interestingly asking for help. Why interesting? These girls were a huge part of my life. However, due to the 3 simple words, I lost them in my life. From friends, they became strangers. I'll leave the explaining and the long story for another day. I'll just leave their names for now. Charmaine Foo and Ng Yiwen.

I haven't spoken to either one of them in a really long time, one more than the other of course. In both cases, we didn't exactly have a "happy ending". The relationship hit a few "bumps" and we haven't spoken much since. I loved them both though, no doubt about that. When both of them needed help, I did all i could to help them.

That brings me to the whole reason of this post. No matter how much you tell yourself you have moved on, that she was just a stepping stone in your life, you will always have a soft spot for the one you love or used to love. That's what I felt with the 2 girls. I ensured I did all i could to help either one of them. Knowing that I couldn't help or couldn't do anything else to help really made me feel awful. It made me feel like I was useless and I couldn't lend a helping hand to someone who needs it.

Hearing one of them say "Thanks so much- So sweet of you", made my day. Hearing the other say "we're still friends don't worry" made me smile to myself in happiness.

I guess no matter how much you think you've moved on, if you have ever loved the person, a part of him/her will always remain with you. You'll always have that "Soft spot" for these people. It applies to me and I'm pretty sure everyone feels the same way. It's just how humans are I guess.

Then I ask you,
How many soft spots do you have?

Hope whoever is reading my blog enjoys what I've written so far. I know I'm not a great writer but I hope my mediocre writing might have brighten your day or put a smile on your face. Leave a comment, you could remain anonymous, I'm cool with that.
