Unsaid
By: The Cupids' Target
Dear Love,
How are you today?
It’s been a long time since I heard about you. Days have passed by like the shooting star across that night sky. And if you wonder how I am, well, I’m doing good just like anybody else.
It is one fine day again. I looked outside the window where the perfect view of the sunset made me close my eyes and travel back in time.
A morning breeze touched my face and it indicates that today is another day of making a living and pursuing a dream in the world of business and careers.
I am full of dreams, very idealistic and a goal sitter. I want everything to be in perfect motion. I enjoy every obstacle that comes along my way. I believed that being independent is the basis of being strong. I see the world as a competition where success is the only option to be happy.
Suddenly, you came to me without giving a warning. You are a new emotion and I am not even prepared. I am not aware that you exist, but you shaken my little world in a good way as I know you deeper.
Slowly, I allowed you to see my world. A world where you discover the other side of me. A world where the deepest secret and weakest side of me is hiding. And when I’m about to openly embrace and accept you, you left without saying a word. The next time I know, you’re with someone else already. It left me unguarded like the soldier lost his sword in the middle of the battle. You are gone before I could stand beside you.
I never expected that losing you in that process will give me another shot of emotion called pain. That unexpectedly losing you will allow that tears of pain flow down from my eyes. That losing you will ruin my ideas of a perfect you. It was a surreal feeling just like how I first met you.
And as the years went by, I learned that maybe it happened because I am not meant to meet you at that time. That maybe our stars are not yet aligned to create a positive happiness for each other. And that maybe, you just teach me a lesson that everyone must take.
A lesson of how to balance everything from little things up to reaching the dreams. A lesson that I am more than just a perfect idea and goals. A lesson that depending on someone should never be a basis of being weak. A lesson that being successful is not defined by competition alone. Lastly, a lesson that letting go is the best way to find peace and to heal a broken heart.
The phone rang which made me open my eyes and be back to the present time. From the window, I saw the busy streets filled with cars and buses. The scene is telling me that it is time for me to go home.
And now, as I walked down in the busy street of this concrete jungle, I wonder if this path that I chose to take will still be the same if I said those three magical words that you wanted to hear before. Will it be?
But above all, thank you for the lesson.
Until we meet again
Sincerely yours,
Life
