while I was cleaning up my closet I came across a piece of paper that is tucked in between my old books and turns out its the same paper my childhood friends Jane, Dennisa and Glesa and I made few years back..I was delighted to see it one more time as its our first poem/compo we compose together back in first year high school..for some poem / compo contest haha we were asked to write about heartaches and matters of the heart topic so yea.. Enjoy guys!
echoes of the heart
there were two hearts who met in a dance..the moment was magical..there was a sweet song playing,there was harmony, and soon love was in the air..
they fell 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 many questions but no one had an answer.
the music stopped and there was silence…
it is a chain that all of us go through- falling in love and getting hurt and vowing not to love again.. sometimes, we all need to be alone, to feel blue and lonely..to listen to a song and cry ..then we asked ourselves, "why does the song have to end? why do we have to cry when love is taken away from us? "
We may be in control of our lives but we somewhat feel helpless in our relationships.
the tragedy of love is in getting hurt for there is no gain without pain, there is no permanence without commitment,and there is no lasting love without constant sacrifice..but love is only a gift give to us. We should not hold it in our hands for we may never find the strength to let it go when it decides to leave.. We should only embrace its warmth and glow while it last and then freely open our arms when its time to say goodbye.
There is always a reason why we have to move on..when we have to say goodbye to the feeling we wanted to say forever. Let us not wave our hands with a heavy heart, for love will have to set its wings free and find the place where it belongs.. We may have lost it but then again, when we close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts.. we will hear that feeling resounding silently forever.
The only way to forget is to accept and the only way to move on is to look ahead and let the footprints of the past be blown by the wind of time. somewhere we'll fill our lives with joy and happiness. somehow we'll find love again- it'll wipe our tears and bring us the promise of the new life, a new hope and a beautiful beginning..only then can our hearts find a partner in a dance of life and hopefully never get lost again..
