Dance of Life

There were two hearts who met in a dance.
That moment was magical.
There was a sweet song playing
There was harmony
And soon, love was in the air
They fall in love.

And they started building castles in their dreams
And promised forever with all certainty
But somewhere in the midst of the sun
They got lost in the dance.

Something went wrong but they cannot do anything
They were just drifting away
Their fortress falling apart
There were so many questions
But no one had an answer
The music stopped and then… there was silence.

When we truly love someone, we give our best
And let that person see the pureness of our intentions
But sometimes, that person makes us cry
And hurts us for the wrong reason

That someone must have loved us
But they have not loved us enough
To make them stand for what they truly feel.
Now we are faced with the seemingly
Impossible task of forgetting
We have burdened ourselves long enough
But we still can’t get out of this emotional trap

Let us remember that the more we try
To forget someone we love
The more painful letting go will become

Sometimes we never had to take that person
Out of our hearts at all
For they will always be there.
No matter how hard we try to drive them away
It isn’t their presence that makes this difficult

It is because of our stubbornness to accept our destiny
That aligns forgetting next to impossible
We keep a cold face but deep in our hearts
There is still that lingering hope for reconciliation

Somehow, we still believe that we can rekindle small embers
And relight that fire that once burned in our hearts
These thought give us hope
But it also breeds the seeds of loneliness and despair

The only way to forget is to accept
And the only way to move on is to look ahead.
And let the footprints of the past
Be blown by the wind of time
Only then can our hearts find a partner
In the dance of life
And hopefully… never get lost again.
