we live to seek our definition of happiness, therein lies the justification of all our actions and thoughts. it is this pursuit that let us believe; that makes us the persons we are; that makes our existence worthwhile.
so many of us are constantly trying to fill in the missing blanks in our life. yet, so many times, we don't quite understand what we are looking for exactly. it can be at that spur of a moment, we are contended with our sum of happiness. yet, at the next, we realize the equation of happiness seemed to fall short of what we wanted. and so, we let the viscious cycle continues.
how can we be constant with our equation of happiness? can we really be contended?
can i be constant with who i am? and even if i can, can the people around me be the way they always are?
i seek constancy. but i am starting to believe that change is the only constancy that is left for me to seek.
who did we blame when our love ended? who snubbed and robbed us off those little daydreams we once had? who sucked us into this, making us only to know how to hurt each other even as we still care so much?
"this is the deep and dying breath of this love we've been working on."
we tangled as we tried so hard to untangle - a dead knot. was it your fault for trying to let loose? or was it mine for trying to hold on? before we realized, our hands were tied, wasn't it?
"we're going down and you know that we're doomed. my dear, we're slow dancing in a burnin room."
there is a sense of erraticism between any kind of interpersonal relationship we are in. its a kind of unpredictability - a potential to discourse or to break. it may not necessarily be a darkness, but it refrains one from uncovering it.
it is at the back of our head. subconsciously, we are drawn by it and it leads us to commit certain incomprehensible acts to the ones we are having the relationship with. it blocks out your judgment and you seem to only act as how you will react.
but when you take a step back and give it a second of thought, you will start to realize the rooted cause of this erraticism. you will begin to understand the levels of your relationship with that someone and see how complex they may be - your feelings, his feelings, your desires, her desires, your state of mind, their states of mind.
and when you realize it all, it may just dawn on you how much you should be valuing your relationship with that person. Never to take them for granted and to accept them for who they are. after all, it is because of them that you seem to act in this impulsive manner.
i used to think that i shine. i had the brilliance that killed the lights. i wasn't afraid; almost fearless. there were no barriers, no obstructions.
but looking at me now, i think i have lost it. the glow is gone and shine, i do no more. life seems to have taken a lustreless path. the colors has faded.
there was a point in life i thought, "this is it, this is the beginning of all possibilities. this must be where happiness starts, where it begins."
i realized today that there was, in fact, the defining moment of happiness. just because it was, i asked myself today have i treasured it enough? just because it was... just because.
like a broken clock, i am always in limbo with the past. every thing, everyone has moved on, why can't i do the same?
there should be a limit, a breaking point; the threshold to the heart. or is it that mine has turned into an abyss feeding on my sanity? the heart tortures itself. and for what?
i know it all. yet i have fallen from grace, losing the very last of dignity left in me.
i gave you my untainted truth only to have dejection in return. but you will never comprehend, you will never understand.
Your fingertips across my skin The palm trees swaying in the wind Images You sang me Spanish lullabies The sweetest sadness in your eyes Clever trick
Well, I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street You took my hand and danced with me Images And when you left, you kissed my lips You told me you would never, never forget These images
I cannot go to the ocean I cannot drive the streets at night I cannot wake up in the morning Without you on my mind So you're gone and I'm haunted And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out of my life?
