Heartbreaking bliss

The only true oxymoron.

I remember a phone conversation I had with a guy friend of mine. We were talking about how head over heels in love he was about this girl.

To the outside eye, he would look like a fool. A poor dog who follows his master around, waiting on her hand and foot. A fool who would let this person treat him like crap.

Everyone told him to stop. Look for another. Move on... (they were exes, by the way) but no.
So, back to the phone conversation. We used to be on the same boat. We were trying to analyze why we let these people do this to us. He said he didn't know why. I did...

I figured out that... no matter how much you know it's wrong, no matter how you know everyone will see you as pitiful..no matter how MAD your friends will be when they find out you're with that person......(again)
it's the FEELING YOU HAVE when you're with that person... at that moment...every moment..
ecstasy.bliss.euphoria.intoxication.fervor.. whatever you want to call it.

makes all the 'no matters', worthwhile.
