Just catch up!!

"Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose" - Lyndon B. Johnson

So this morning I am thinking, let me once, for a start, write something very different here. Yes I have written about my feelings, my thoughts of love, pain and all but today, let me write something different and much more positive. Even though not on a particular topic or theme, or even if it doesn't make sense, let me just write, for a change, something different.

Yes it is very true that in life we change and so do the people around us but how is it that we stop leading our lives with happiness because of a someone who changed? Does it make sense? This morning, as my routine is...this one word, routine, is the root cause of a lot of us being unhappy you know? We live everyday the same way without initiating or inviting change and then complain to the Almighty that our lives are the same? Well, so as everyday, I come office and go through my Facebook (like it is my newspaper), read my horoscope, check my personal and work email, read articles on Yahoo that interest me (like this morning I read this heart-touching article: https://www.yahoo.com/travel/realtravel-i-met-my-fiance-on-study-abroad-in-spain-94137808422.html), but this morning I read someone's blog and I really thought to myself, yes how much has life changed and a line that hurt as much as it was true sort of stayed with me and will do so for some time to come now (my weakness I'd say..words don't leave me easily)..the line was 'The people I have in my life now are not the same ones I had a year ago.' Do we become friends with someone to be replaceable? Let us all think about this and about all those who we have known particularly the very close ones and ask, how come they faded? And today, within the busy lives we are leading, find one minute if you can and send an SMS, an inbox, a call and just...I guess catch up!!

Finally this morning, I leave you with a quote that brought inspiration to me. Life with a smile is just much more beautiful and if that smile has really come out of meaning, it is the best feeling one shall have.

The one who walked away..

“It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.”  - William Blake

When we talk of life, the one thing that is certain is 'alone'. We come alone and we leave alone but then along the way, we find bits and pieces of our soul residing in others. Universes are bound to collide and whenever we meet someone, we connect a little and share a bit of ourselves with them. If we allow our hearts to ponder freely, we even experience the feeling that these days is so casually used as a word; 'love'. We start to live for that person. We see their happiness as ours, we begin to find meaning and purpose in life as if all of a sudden, a candle has been lit in the tunnel of darkness we call life. And I am not talking about the casual relationships you see everywhere that are merely there for the bodies to unite. I am talking about those 'old fashioned' deeply-felt-at heart relationships. I want to believe that they exist till today!!  But then just as hard it is to find or meet that someone, easy it is for them walk away or for us to lose them and all the happiness that came with it. Today, I just wanna pour my heart out like I have always done in my poems; and today, this poem is for someone who walked away... 

"You are the star that lights my path", she used to say,

And as I saw today, she gave my nickname to someone else,

I wonder whether I am the one who is unworthy of her,

Or she simply fell for a star when the moon was her lover.

They say we don't know what we have until we lose it,

One day she will wake up and probably realize also,

But for now she seems happy, and so let her be,

For it is her choice to erase me from her life, 

And mine, to fight the urge of not letting her become a memory!

Time heals everything, give everything time; I read somewhere,

The writer probably forgot to add 'except love wounds',

Much as time seals those wounds, they never heal,

One song, their name, a picture; almost anything related,

Just digs up the wound hurting like a dagger, as if it were yesterday!!

She walked away from my life without giving me a reason,

Not that the reason would make it any better,

But at least I would have an answer that my heart would repeat,

Instead now it just ponders and wonders,

Was I unworthy of her, or she simply fell for a star,

When the moon was her lover.

All of you out there with someone you love and someone who loves you, keep it and value it, for tomorrow has no guarantee.

“It was a mistake," you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you.”
