One Is Not Enough?

I once told a very good friend that it's okay to love two people at the same time. Which caused him to not speak to me for a few weeks, and I am sure he would have bashed my face in if I were in front of him at that time. This was when he just got told by the girlfriend whom he was getting engaged to that she was in love with another man too. A few days before their engagement day. (I wonder what he did with the solitaire diamond how-many-carat ring that he bought for her? :) )

Not that I was entirely to be blamed, because he called me like at 3 am when I was fast asleep, so I mumbled whatever came first to my mind at that time.

I must say that having gone through life this long, the concept seems to make more and more sense. You love different people for different reasons, and each person always has his / her own unique characteristics that you just love, be it the dimples on the cheeks (and I am talking about the ones on the face) or the big heart the person has. I have been in that situation too many times. I love R for the shape of the nose, and for being so practical although practicality, when applied to home decor can be disastrous to the sense of aesthetics; and I love A for being needy of me. Both at the same time. Not to mention a couple of others too. :)

There is no real reason for me writing this except that I was reminded again last night of what I had said, and I did tell my friend that I would have to document it on my blog. I know I will be reminded of this time and again by my friend. Of course by now we laugh about it. And my friend has turned the other way anyway, and I leave it to you to figure what I mean! :)
