Love on the Wane
On impulse, you sense that love has shifted to a painful detachment when your boyfriend becomes stumpeddealing with you. So you offer to leave, and the faster you run home the better. Deep inside, you yearn for a loving arm to restrain you to stay for a little while - for another of those addictive love-making. But none is coming. Instead, your man counts the money bills in his money clip - “Do you have enough for your plane ticket?” At least, he is making your exit from his life certain and fast.
But that is the way some love affairs end, sadistically abrupt. There’s nothing you can do for the moment, but honey, you’ll live to tell the tale like billions did since Eve. Time will come you’ll be shopping with your fiance for gold or leather money clips for his groomsmen and for your wedding reception. Okay, this idea is far-fetched now. You would rather take care of your lovelorn heart. Bide your time, but do not miss to recall that the sun still emits UV rays every new day.
Get Moving
Your farewell scene is as cool as having a root canal done by a dentist you won’t see again.

* Dine on your favorite chows and exercise to the hiphop sound.
* If the emotional pain keeps up, see a psychiatrist to help you.
