You know what, maybe I can never understand J and D's thinking. But here is my take: maybe D never liked T at all, but his good friend J always pair him up with T. Not just with T, but J-Gal, D-Gal in the past too. Maybe D would have went well with T if nature had taken its course, but due to the unnecessary gossip and rumours that J introduced, D finds it hard to even talk to T under natural cirumstances. Everything somehow feels contrived, even a simple conversation. D and T no longer talk to each other without feeling awkward, and they talk on MSN more than they talk in real life. They find it easier to talk behind computer screens, just enjoying each other's company without feeling the pressure of being under the mindless scrutiny of rumours and gossips. You know, their MSN script probably goes like this:

D says: Hi..
T says: hi...how are u?
D says: fine...
T says: oh...ok..

*silence for 20 minutes*

T says: hey.... i gtg...see u in sch tml?
D says: oh....so fast?
D says: ah...ok, see you tml den :)
*T is offline and is unavailable for the conversation*

All of D's anguish and agony is hidden behind that little smiley face.

See you in sch tml? Yeah, right.

Perhaps D and T only have themselves to blame for not taking the initiative, but somehow J might have put them in an unnecessary situation in the first place.


And what about J? Maybe it is true that sorrow exists because happiness exists. J made it sound as if happiness is the cause of sorrow. But think about it, sorrow only makes happiness more meaningful. If J has no sorrow, J would not know happiness. Sorrow is precisely there to make J's happiness even more 'happy' and when one day J feels this happiness, he will come to understand this greater purpose behind 'sorrow', as ridiculous as it may seem now. Some things may not be meant for J to understand, but others certainly are. J has always given 'words of wisdom' to D on how to handle D's love life, yet J finds himself lacking also in that aspect. As far as I am concerned, I want to tell J this.

J, let it go. Let it go.
