memories of first love...


Her eyes, swollen from crying all night looked at me. She pleaded that I stay, but I just can’t. I love her so much, but I need to let go. I can’t allow her to be hurt because I may never be coming back.

Our paths were never meant to cross. But, it did and so was our love and that is what was tearing our hearts apart.

I turned back as I began to take leave. She rushed to hug me, embracing me tightly I could feel her heart beating against my back.

With tears streaming down my face, I took hold of her hands. Those felt warm against my numbing cold.

“Let go…” I told her softly.

I turned around and kissed her for one last time as my presence gradually faded along with my first love.

Too much time has passed. Though still young, I already feel old at my age. Why do things have to turn out this way? What have I done to merit this kind of life I’m leading now? I am supposed to be happy and content with the things I have achieved. Yet, there is a certain inkling in my heart telling me that I am supposed to be someplace else and that I have something yet to do which will prove the worth of my existence.  I have lost my self-worth in the midst of my journey. Regaining it back is going to be a slow process. I have to retrace the path I’ve walked upon and find the inner child obscured within. The sky is overcast and gloomy. It is the season of the northwest monsoon. The seas at this time of the year in the Western Pacific are bound to be rough and treacherous as the waters are being churned by deep-sea currents underneath. It did not take long before the boarding was announced for the 24-knot catamaran which will be traversing across an open sea towards m...

Footsteps...

Many had meandered on our current paths. They all had come and then were gone… They always walk right in front of us. And we can never get too close. For it is not distance that separates, But, a barrier which is time. Every crossroads, every bend… Greetings had been exchanged… Whether it be brief or lifelong promises… What happened thereafter, we can only guess…

Distance...

Image
When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distances a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance. What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small. When they love each other even more... they do not speak. They only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that is all. That is how close two people are when they love each other. So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more, or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return...
