Been Some Time

It took me some time to make another entry. Not that I am busy. I do not even admit that to myself. Not that I do not have the time. I have all the time I need. Not that I do not have anything to write about. So many things have happened in between. Just can't explain the lull. Maybe I am just too lazy to put my thoughts down. Anyway nobody cares or bothers. But I told myself what the heck. This gives me the impetus to go on living and live I will.


There are pains. I felt pains. I am still having them now. I think the pain will stay. Whatever causes the pains, that I could not understand. Sometimes it is self-inflicted. I deserve it. For not knowing how to handle life, I deserve all the pains. That is gross. It's unfair. I thought I was doing myself justice. But why do I have to punish myself for being what I am? I have my limitations, my strengths, my weakness. I am well aware of them. I could not help it when I would not be accepted as I am. I just let be.


As I ponder on the days that gone by, tears started kissing my cheeks. Memories poured in like raindrops. One by one, they flashed before me. There were happy moments. There were sad moments. Moments I lived, moments I am living. Life is every moment that takes place. I had my moments. I still have those moments.


It is reality that beckons me. Life is not exactly what I expect it to be. When we expect things, the least that they become. Frustrations envelope me. That's why it pains me. It hurts me. And I am alone. That makes it more unbearable.


When those high moments came flashing by, I turned in a big smile amidst the tears flowing right into my lips. I had my days. I still have them. What glorious feeling! Yet life cannot always be like that. Those days come. Those days go.


Days, like everyone, come and go. Life has no permanent time. What you have now is what you all have. You lose it the moment you have it. Someone says hello. Someone says goodbye. It is always like that.


In between those haves and have nots, life is a shadow outlined by the mystery of existence. You create your own shadow. And the shadow traverses the path of your destiny. That defines you. That defines me.


There is emptiness in everyone. And like them, I am drown in the sea of emptiness. It is frightening. The only way out is to conquer it and let go. Let go of your expectations. Let go of your pains. Let go, just let go of your baggage. You cannot carry that around. It's much too heavy.


I close my eyes. Why? I do not know. It's been a long time. Yet I am still feeling the same way. Again, why?


Afraid, I maybe afraid that nobody remembers. I am here. And all that I am.


Just let go. Just let be.

Thanks

Guess that's it. There is no denying that you will leave. But what to do? Life has to move on. It may be difficult for me to see you go but you have to. Sorry that I was not able to attend your graduation blow out. I had to be with JC. They had plans and I could not afford not to be with them. Not that I do not want to be with you, you know I do. I hope you understand. Thanks for the nice words during your valedictory address. You made me cry. That was the first time I allowed myself to shed tears on commencement exercises. Not even during my time did it happen. There were still words to say. There were still unexpressed emotions to unleash. But I think there is no need to do that anymore. Time will only tell whether you will uncover the mysteries of the deepest recesses of my heart. Just let be. I am hurting. The pain pricks like there is nothing like it. It is so intense that I could not define what is not real and what is imagined. I am dying to tell you that I love you. Whateve...

How

It was already late. Sleep never wanted to disturb me from thinking. It never wanted to liberate me from the pain I was going through. I kept on thinking, thinking til I was numb. I could only feel the throbbing pain that's left after. I would have wanted to free myself from this misery. That early dose of sleep would be quite a relief. But I could not find any of that. My body was begging for some well deserved rest after a long day. Yet the day was made longer by my petty foolishness. This has been difficult for me. I know there was nothing to expect. I did not expect for your message, your email, your sms, your visit, any of that. I did not expect you to greet me on our special day. I did not expect you to show up. I did not expect you... And I expected myself to be this lonely. There was nothing I could do but to allow the tears washed the stain on my cheeks. It went down to even wash the dust that covered my neck. Til it refrained from further flowing down...the tears stopped ...
