The story of being-in-existence

There are certain people that you want to treasure all your life.
<--> Dedicated to.... - she hears..<-->

As we stroll down the roads of the country at night,
Whining and mincing every little bit of life trying to make it right.
Yet at the end of day, we just left things to God to decide.

The company of someone to share your life,
You constantly feel YOU will be able to thrive,
And never have to hear yourself cry.

As we passed by the landscapes that envisioned our dreams,
We held in high hopes of witnessing how we realise them by our own means.
Yet all was torn apart by just one burst of steam.

The countless of complains that dominated our conversations,
The dependence on one to be sensitive to all emotions.
Why would anyone be able to handle such situations?

With the passage of time things turned for the worst,
The minute happiness could no longer quench our thirst.
So who on earth would give up first?

Those were the days that YOU and I missed Dearly,
Yet Neither would ever be able to piece things back neatly,
Cause something that's bro ken will never work perfectly.

I just randomly saw this piece of words in a blog and I thought it was really nice. I guess this person must be missing someone in his or her life a lot a lot. Lots of thoughts came to my mind.

-> Could it be life and death that made him or her wrote something like that?
-> Or was it the loss of a relationship?
-> Yet it could also be the separation between two best friends.
-> Was it the distance that started to lengthen between family members?

I believe everyone has had someone whom he or she wants to treasure all his or her life, so do I. No matter how bad things between two become, no matter how circumstances change their relationship, regardless of the conflicts that arose, you always need one party who is constantly trying to maintain and salvage what's been broken or hurt. I must say it is really a good attempt. Yet I can't deny the fatigue that comes with one party being on the heavier side of any kind of relationship. Perhaps at times, learning to let go generates a higher level of happiness.

Further, there are certain values that all of us want to uphold or the so-called morals and principles. Yeah, it might be nice to have them so it keeps you in check all the time. However, at the end of the day, sometimes it is these morals and principles that stagnates you.

In the past, I used to think that letting go is a stupid option. Why let go if you really wanted something? But perhaps my perspectives have changed. It takes more courage to let go and say no than to hold on to something that has already flown away from your hands not once, but maybe twice or even thrice. Something's that forced is never better. It only makes both parties more conscious of what they are holding in their hands.

I totally concur with the last sentence, "Cause something that's broken will never work perfectly".

But sometimes when I look back in life and count the number of people that have walked into and out of my life, I questioned myself. Did I let go too easily? Would my life have been much different if I spent more time with him or her? Would his or her life have taken a different path if we had built up a different form of communication?

Memories of some people stay with me. For Life. Like what someone told me before, all of us keep those feelings that have hurt us in a small corner of our heart subconsciously. As the clock ticks, the pain in us diminishes. When long enough has passed, our wounds heal and we longer hurt. Yet those memories never leave us. Every now and then, when time permits, we take these memories out. The feeling or hurt and hatred no longer lingers yet we just can't forget them. That's why everyone says "Forgive and Forget". Forgiveness has to come first because it is must easier, and no one ever really forgets.

If at this moment, you are at one of the crossroads in your life, don't make things more difficult than necessary. Be brave just this once, make a change and move on with life. Cause you never know what beautiful landscapes lie ahead.
