Fast Cars, Fancy Women
The More Loving One by W.H. Auden
Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread them from man or beast.
How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return
If equal affections cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
Admirer as I think I am
Of Stars that do not give a damn
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly one day.
Were all the stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.
Cheong stuck this onto Stella's locker. This was a play i just did, "Fast cars, Fancy women". Interesting faustian tale. Uhm, ya in case u were wondering, I played Eddie Goodtime, the devil's advocate. Apparently, I was the unanimous pick to be the evil dude. Yeps!!
Wellz, wat happened at the end of act 1 is that stella avoided cheong and smashed his bdae gifts. There was a moment of connection between them before, when both were reading the little prince. A look on the little prince, uhm 1 part about the rose. The prince loved the rose, but the rose lied to him and as such the prince couldn't find it in his heart to shower her with the affections he did before. Stella avoided cheong due to the materialistic values incorporated into her by her friends and her mum. After a while, the friendship they had soured, as Stella felt his presense annoying. Cheong juz took the pain alone and juz "died".
In act 2, Cheong came bk rich and successful. Stella had a couple of failed relationships due to her searching for the wrong men. She wants a men with a fast car.
Cheong, being successful and rich, courted Stella and they were happily married. Or so it seems. Cheong engaged the help of "Eddie Goodtime"(The Devil), selling cheong's time to achieve his goal, which is to win stella.
The end is kinda sad... Nopez, they did not end in divorce, it was much worst. They were still together and yet so distant. Stella didn't get any love. Cheong was no longer the romantic which he was in act 1. He only cared about money. Stella got her fast car and cheong got his fancy women. But Who is really happy?
It's kinda sad to see how love dies. In the newspaper a few days back, Sumiko Tan was commenting on the rising divorce rates, how love died.
Yeps, both muz make an effort to keep the passion going. When one gives more than the other, it is still alright. But not when either feels he or she gives more or the other party gives more. Also, in Cheong's case, they waited too long. They didn't try to get to know each other better in act 1. If they did, It's be a fairy tale. So Cheong suffered alone, embittered and such. The human body is an amazing thing, once u have too much pain, it automatically numbs u. Such that the next pain that comes ur way is hardly felt, and in time none at all. However, this is not a good thing. It comes at a cost, to feel no pain, u would also lose your joy and hope. No Joy, NoHope = No pain.
Sad, Isn't it. I think so too. Oh, Why am I up at this crazy hour writing such nonsense. I can't sleep, DUH!!!! Also, have not written stories in a long time. This is to intro the next few stories i gonna write. It's gonna revolve around 1 theme. PhiloPhobia-Fear of being in love, loving and also having sumone loving u. Philo=love
Phobia=Fear.
I can't get to work either!!!
