The Dance of Life

There were two hearts that met in a dance. That moment was magical. There was a sweet song playing in the background, there was harmony and soon, love was in the air. They felt in love and they started building castles in their dreams and promised forever with all certainty. But, somewhere in the midst of the fun, they got lost in the dance, something went wrong but they can never do anything. They were just drifting away, their fortress falling apart. There were so many questions, but no one had an answer.

The music stops and there was silence...

When we truly love someone, we give our best, and let that person see the pureness of our intention. But that person makes us cry and hurts us for the wrong reason. That someone must have loved us but he/she has not love us enough to make him/her stand for what he/she truly felt.

Now we are faced with seemingly impossible task of forgetting. We have burdened ourselves long enough but we still can't get out of this emotional trap. Let us remember that the more we try to forget someone we love, the more painful letting go will become.

Sometimes we never had to take that person out of our hearts at all. For he/she will always be there no matter how hard we try to drive him/her away. It isn't his/her presence that makes this difficult. It is our stubbornness to accept our destiny. That aligns forgetting next to impossible. We keep cold face but deep in our hearts there is still that lingering hope for reconciliation. Somehow, we still believe that we can rekindle small ember and relight the fire once burn in our hearts. Those thoughts give us hope but it also breeds the seeds of loneliness and despair.

The only way to forget is to accept and the way to move on is to look ahead and let the footprint of the past blown by the winds of time. Only then can our hearts find a partner in the dance of life and hopefully... never get lost again.


P.S. It has been months or so, since I last wrote my first article about love. I consider this post as my anniversary treat for my parents - Happy 20th Wedding Anniversary (as if, they can be able to read this. Haha.)

This is not my current emotional status though. I originally wanted to write something about my finding The One. However, I realized that there are some stories not meant to be written but should instead be kept to the self. So that's what I'm doing. *wink*
