Thought for the day...

Just as you write someone off as being the ever insensitive creature, wham! You are hit right between the eyes with a gesture or conversation which drips with the kind of sensitivity and vulnerability you always always wished you had seen a part of...
Its weird isn't it, some guys have that perpetual coat around them of being extremely self sufficient in every which way, which includes emotionally, socially and what not.. But there is always this one woman who will bring them down to their knees and there is that moment when they will even admit that they r down on their knees..
Believe it or not, we women always are on a look around for that one guy just like that. Its a question of who breaks whose shroud of indifference first..In case of girls, its easier to do that because its a put on. More often than not, we are not indifferent at all, we may pretend to be. And it takes only a little time for men (ok let me rephrase that, men whom we want to pursue..) to break down that wall and get thru to the inner you, the vulnerable you. But believe me its much much tougher for women to do the same with men..
Lets face it, we all walk around with that smug- 'I am doing pretty well, thank you' look all the time. But there is something screaming inside of all of us which craves for that someone we can be, well.. , ourselves with..
Its usually a person of the opposite sex who fills that void within us...Friends are always there but this is different, this is altogether on a different level.. This is magical...This almost goes ahead to prove why men need women and vice versa..
But anyways I digress (ok, I do that quite often now a days), there was this side of someone I hadn't seen almost ever.. In all the years that I have known the person, in all those degrees of intimacy we shared, never.. Or at least thats what it seems like...Its a totally different side, its almost like there is some hint of sensitivity hidden somewhere. Something i would have probably loved to see years ago but didn't. Now, i do realize that you need somebody who will do that to you, bring that out in you, especially if its not a natural reflex.
And that person was not me..
But I am glad nonetheless..
