and I was in my usual quiet life,
until my phone beeped,
"Hi, what's up?," he opened the talk,
"Great, and how is your life?," I politely replied.
"I am gonna be married soon," he told me in instant.
No, you are not going to see a story full of crybabies words, no.
No, you are not going to relate with Adele's 'Someone Like You', no.
I was not surprised, life keeps going on, no matter how quiet my life seems to be.
I gave my honest words, "I am glad to hear that."
But yes, maybe some conversations can take you back for a while to the past, yes.
And yes, maybe some presence of people can help you contemplate about your life, yes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What we had was a baby's love,
we did not realize how baby it was – the good thing was we took it whole-heartedly.
It was sparkling, it was daring, it was burning,
it was consuming, it was suffocating –
but was pleasant.
In taking baby steps, we fell, we cried,
we were annoying, we were seeking attentions
with right ways or wrong ones.
But we can not be babies forever –
we started to walk faster, we saw worlds as a big playground,
we perceived feelings and circumstances, we started to questions things.
And here comes two mentally-experiencing-adolescence kind of people,
we were fighters, we were rebellious,
we lied, we hurt,
and substitution was all we were looking for.
And we finally went to a mental phase of adulthood,
but I wondered why did not I see it in your eyes,
while you were sure you could see it clearly in my soul –
The ring given was just left untouched,
why was I scared?
Did I only possess a body of a grown woman,
but a coward for a lifetime agreement?
Did I only misperceive commitment to someone
as a limitation for my upcoming plans and ambitions?
But I did not really need to seek for complicated, explainable reasons,
because sometime the answer was "it is just not" –
It was just not a part of my plan
and you were just not what I expected to include;
You were just not supposed to be mine,
just like I was not supposed to be yours.
I was glad I had the courage to tell you that day
I could not see it in you –
which you perceived as funny
because after all those time, I could not see it in you.
It is still funny to me,
that you can spend so much time with someone
just to conclude you can not stand together in the last minute.
Now we get older and forgive each other;
From babies to adulthood,
From a burning fire to a steady flame,
From a smothering love to a freedom to take paths.
Our lifetime has passed, so don't worry –
we will be just fine.
And I wish you eternal happiness and endless love to rest your soul,
just like I wish myself the same thing.
