A Footprint and A Promise

When we were teens, life was simple. Parents are always there when we need them and family and friends are the usually cast of characters of our youth. We started to develop crushes and infatuations and as we grew, it all turn up to become relationships.

In relationships, young as we are, we tend to open our hearts completely. And girls would wait for that one day, someone would popped the question in a very romantic scene and with tears in the woman’s eyes, she would respond ‘Yes’…

Men will look forward to taking the girl of his dream to that union where he is willing to give up all of this freedom for the woman that he loves.

It seems to be a fairy tale, and yes it can happen… And life is all about reality… With different pressures in life, culture, and society, people changes heart. And the tears of happiness can be tears of pains.

That’s when a person starts to guard his or her feelings. Fear will start to rule the heart. The question of when a person is willing to let go again of his or herself is a matter of indefinite. Until the wounds are completely healed.

Trust can easily be given but within a matter of seconds, it can leave and erases the once good memory of friendship.

People come and people do leave. Some come back and some will never look back.

When people come into our lives, they come in different packages as they are all gifts. But when they leave, they all leave the same – that is, sadness. However, regardless of exits, we should be thankful that they came as they have given us happiness during their stay. That is their footprint.

We can control ourselves but we can’t control what’s beyond us. We commit mistakes by hiding ourselves due to fear of loss.

Some of us are lucky to be given chances but some are not and without a choice, close the door with sadness.

Here’s a promise to Dylan. Due to time constraints, this song lacked the melody.

The Sea

Life is sailing
Everybody’s searching freedom
Like a warm breeze each morning
Realizing everything’s the same

Heart is the shell guarded by dolphins
Cruel creatures of ocean
Course to iceberg
Wind is unstable

Slowly like the flow of freedom
Swayed by the winds
Embracing the waves
Destinations.. it’s the destination.

The sea is the view
Enjoying the view
Loving embracing the blues
Enjoying the view

Heart is the shell guarded by dolphins
Cruel creatures of ocean
Course to iceberg
Wind is unstable

Slowly like the flow of freedom
Swayed by the winds
Embracing the waves
Destinations.. it’s the destination.

Its friendship. Its you.

Til next time. Au revoir.
