the 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 in the air. They fell in love and they started
building castles in their dreams and promised forever with all certainty. But somewhere in
the midst of the fun, they got lost in the dance, something went wrong but they can never 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
intention. But sometimes that person makes us cry and hurts us for the wrong reason. That
someone must have loved us but he has not loved us enough to make him stand for what he
truly felt.

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 he will always be there
no matter how hard we try to drive him away. It isn't his presence that makes this difficult. It is
our stubbornness to accept 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 the fire that once burned in our hearts.
These thoughts 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.
