Journey 240: Can Love outlive the LIES?

There are, as they say, many lilies in the pond and underneath are life evolving, so does any relationships we build on. One day, we fell in love, the other day, we have fallen out of it. One day, we shared love, the next day, we shared lies. One day we made love, the next day, we just deftly fell out of love. Relationships are built on trusts, not trysts so therefore, when lies and innuendoes of lies cometh, then the strongest barrier is the TRUTH. How can love outlive the lies? A figment in one’s mind, though considerably disheartening when known but unthreatening when hidden becomes the lingering conscience. The guiding principles for love to thrive is to be utterly honest with each other, give time to each one another and outdo each one in giving honor, not lies. The greatness of love is felt when we are trustworthy and also, thinks of the person we love with trust, confidence and less on anxiety, mistrust and discomfort.

Men and women became prey to the folly of love when they look beyond what their eyes can see at the present moment. When you have someone in heart and whose heart belongs to you, then focus on them. Do never stray from your focus on them for when you do, you see farther away that falling into it means hiding something you both feel betrayed. Loving is yes, risktaking but it does not involve falling not once but twice, thrice or more than that at one time. When one does, it does not liberate the love but hinders it. And as we wantonly and brazenly ascribe, no one man can go fishing in the betwixt two seas. No one man can scoop a lily mightily except the ones he already has been caring for through.

Can love then outlive the lies? Yes, love can but trust will not. Love is always the guidepost for someone to thread whose paths were narrower and dimmer each day. Love is best felt when you are deeply committed, strongly committed and utterly honestly committed to the one you love. No amount of tryst or fake feelings of love can supplant truest love. If one feels unhappiness then seek it through. If one feels burdened, then lighten down. If one feels loving, then love the most but not to more. Remember, when lies thrive, love dies.

Journey 236: It’s never Goodbye

The moment we parted ways and drifted away, the urge to go on to the next hello is up there in our sleeve so at least, we can forget the past and look beyond what is today but it is not. While we drifted apart, the rainbows come out unexpected to reassure us that our paths will soon cross, even as we do not try or exert an effort to make it happen. The pains and the hurts will be there forever in our hearts but it will just be there while we move on to our next chapters and those people whom we can also open our chapters with. Even if there are more and more that comes into our lives, there are parts in our life’s story that keeps coming back, at least, to remind us that we had been loved, we loved and we shared a love we knew was right.

But is it not that we always see love to be right all the time? Is it not that we feel love, at the right time even if it is not? Is it not that we felt loved even if we were not? Is it not that we feel we love the person whom we hug, we kiss, we pamper into the night, laugh at all times in the day but we actually don’t? Even so, we define it as our love, our own lives together and we keep it. As we drifted away, like the silent ebbs of water off the moss-covered stones, one must also silently go and move on, urged not by the future but rekindles every past to make the strongest move at the present. Like an empty chair, one must hold on to the void.

But is it that we forget that we heal the wounds or is it that we accept our fate that there are those that cannot be, that we heal ultimately? Sometimes, it is by accepting those that can’t be that the healing is much fulfilling than by holding back and questioning why it did end? Is it not because we love that we ought to understand? Is it not because our love, we understand too much not about what we do but what they also do? I surely will be drifting away but as our paths crosses soon enough, I will be happy to see you happier than me. By then, no more hurts, no more questions, no more pains, but peace in letting go and until then, I wish you strength until our next hello.

Journey 235: Somewhere I will LOVE thee

When our love is one we sees through in a lifetime, then perhaps we continue loving even as the time passes us by and thus, even when we are pained, we continue to love, feel loved and gain love. Even when we are afar and falling apart, then we shared love which we gained and thus, when gained, fulfil us in our hearts. I have loved then much more I will love. If somewhere, the love heals wounds by letting go, then I will be let go. If by loving you somewhere, I will trust the rainbow, then I will love you more.

As we journey on in life, there are loves we felt at best where the past dwells on it but believe a future holds more unto it, but not the present. We gain more by seeing what we can in the doorstep while holding on to dear hearts, pained, but letting go, bruised but moving on. We can, in love, feel alone, but we are not. We have a great life to spend, family and friends but more so, I can never contend that life’s begins somewhere even when our love can never be somewhere we find comfortable and predictable.

Somewhere with you, I feel safe and contend. Somewhere with you, I felt I gain, for love is what one gains and believes it will never end. When I love you, I think somewhere our future be a unison in a song and the rhyme of a poem. Somewhere with you, I chance on chances and climb hills when it is hurtful. I fought until I will go because somewhere I know, my heart longs for you. But somewhere I go, just let me go home with you.
