Even In A Dream

The sun nearly setting is blinding her. She's alone. She got up and realized she's alone. He was just there an hour ago.

She started looking for him. They boarded the ship together but he was nowhere to be found. He must have left while she was taking a nap. She went to the dining area but he wasn't there. She asked the cabin crew assigned to their cabin if he noticed him went somewhere but he didn't see him either. Her tears started to fall. People were staring at her for she seems to be a lost girl on a big ship.  She went to the bar, he might be there drinking while relaxing but no one was there either. She remembered, he might have brought his phone with him so she called; it rang for several times but no answer. She called again, this time he answered "I am at the pool" and he was laughing. Why did you leave while I was sleeping? , she asked. He hung up.

I'll just put it into writing

Missing You

© by: dexterous

I miss you when you're not around

Time seems to stop; you're nowhere to be found.

Room looks empty, the weather turns gloomy

I miss you when you're not around.

I stare at my canvas, no ideas

My brush goes to know direction, can't do any action.

My color starts with white, after then turns black

My happy painting; from colorful slowly becomes  faded.

On top of the piano, lay my notes

But there's no music I can compose.

The sweet lyrics, I have in mind

It's turning bitter, for you're not around.

My world, colorful, now painted black

Your face, vivid, now it's all blank.

My music, harmonious, now messed up.

Because missing you when you're not around.

Care is Reassurance

Humans are gifted with many different emotions; some are very talented to handle and as the world of opposites was also created, some are too darn stupid in dealing with it. We are facing different walks of life and as we traverse, we meet people who we wanted to be part of our journey. 

With those differences, misunderstanding will always arise but as the wise men say, we just have to try to understand each other. But how much do we understand? Should we try to put their shoes on? Understanding is a very simple word but most people don't know it. Relationship with each other, family, friends, marriage and others need understanding. It's easy to say, "I understand you" but do you actually know how it is being shown? Most people don't. 

There are many factors affecting who we are. It maybe how were are being raised, people we have met, and the past; which gives a big impact in our lives. Because of this, people may became strong and people may become weak. People with strong personality are often  seen to be leaders, to be able to do things they desire and so on on their on. But most people with this strong personality has this emptiness in their thoughts. They often lack care from others even from their families because others think they don't need it. 

What does care do to one person as we may ask? There are many things it can do. Care is like a balm that soothes us. Simple things like "how are you?" can make someone's dark day lighten up. A hug which speaks so much care can make someone smile. The complex words "I love you?" can draw back someone's tears.

Always remember that if we are adding somebody to be part of our lives, we always have to be ready of the good as well as the bad effects of it. You may not know, you are already making a difference in their lives. 

Show some care, it's not expensive, and you might save someone's life.

Life Equals Sacrifice

Living is equal to making choices. That's what I have known since I got my mind on what is reality. People say if you choose something over something, you have to be ready for whatever consequences it may bring.  Some are making drastic decisions in life and in the end they will be finding someone to blame. Since knowing and accepting the truth is the most painful of all, some end up living their lives in denial.

What makes life worth living? It is when you choose something or someone to be your reason to live. Having those aspects in life will keep your feet moving no matter how troublesome the road you are walking into. However, humans have a certain point in life when they raise their hands in surrender. This is where you yearn for answers as to whether you made the right choice or not. The question "why" is always present.  But we also have to bear in mind that there are many factors affecting the choice we made.  People around us always give the biggest impact to it.

Sacrifice... they say, that's what we do for people we love. But the question is, how much can you bear? Can the other party do the same thing? Loving takes two to tango. Unrequited love is like a double-edge sword repeatedly stabbing every flesh in your body but some people choose to have their eyes closed and continue putting an effort hoping that the other party is going to do the same in the future.

Nevertheless, up to what extent? Whatever the answer in here, life must have a purpose.
