Every once in a while we get in touch with this truth (goodbyes) in us. It is not sadness exactly, not a hurt or a pain as such but some tremendously deep voice that cries out in bittersweet agony. Inner ache is present when we recognize the fleetingness of all that we know and all that we cling to upon this good earth. In blue days that seem to have no cause, it raises its voice when everything in our lives is going smoothly. True self-love means not trying to escape from ourselves, but listening to the voices within us. That aloneness is an integral part of being human, and an essential element in love. Goodbyes are part of every single day. Sometimes we choose them, and sometimes they choose us. What is goodbye? It is an empty place in us. Goodbyes are any of those times when we find ourselves without a someone or something that has given our life meaning and value when our life seems unfulfilled. Goodbyes create a certain space in us where we allow ourselves room to look at life ...

i ran after someone, trampled on my pride and when i finally caught up with him, he told me he wasn't worth it. but i don't regret that i ran after him. i just pity him to think of himself that way. some would say it's only his lame excuse when in fact it is me that he finds unworthy of fixing things with. very well. but to say that you are unworthy and use it as a lame excuse only makes it even more pathetic. i've forgiven but will never forget. i am free of hate and looking forward to indifference. something i will run after next.

To realize that your most prized individual may not value you at all... that you only lose those which are important... that you were given nothing even if you were not asking for anythin in return... that selflessness may lose your sense of self... that value may betray its owner... that expectations are risks... that just being good is not enough... that explanations sometimes arise only to defend but not to clarify... that explanations can ruin contentment... that the insensitivity of the other awakes the sensitivity of another... that we keep what we aren't sure about... that you're good but not better enough for him... that you can love the most unlovable of individuals... that ordinary stones can turn to jewels in one's heart... that keeping his flaws and magnifying his best brings out the worst in him... that omens are sometimes self-generated... that maybe's do offer possibilities... that nothing is good but you have a good friend... that "please and sorry...

You once perched on my branches You disturbed my twigs, arranged your nest, laid your eggs. I felt important havin nursed you and your nurslings But the moment you flew, I realized you've got wings capable of flying of leaving me.

Asking… asking… asking… This is my way of facing Mr. Dilemma. He’s rough yah know! Like, he just gave me a hard tap at my back right now. Tellin me, he missed me a lot and he’s around. I never wish to be in touch with him but he never forgets to REMIND. Huhuhu… By the way, meet his friend, Mr. Confusion. Hahaha… They’re best budz I’d say. Well, well, well… I just happen to be in their company right now! They’re pretty much talkative and they don’t include me in their conversation sometimes. That sucks! As always, they speak to each other in a language we call, QUESTIONS. So bein in their company, I think I needed to use their language too so that I can better understand. While talking to them, I ran out of energy. They chat a lot and they don’t choose places. Hmp! They infinitely bother asking myriads of questions. Duh?! That’s their language. Huhuhu… This time I felt they are bein assertive already. HEY! Stop! You’re hurtin me. And they slap me with “WE KNOW YOU KNOW!” *Sigh* Hhhmmm...

...I'm letting you go.
