just a sad thought

people come and go.

some quickly.




some slowly.



sometimes, you know when they are to leave; and it pains you, it gets you confused whether you are to attach yourself to them, enjoying every second of being together; or you are to distance yourself from them knowing that in time, in a very short time, they are to go and leave you thinking when or if ever they are still coming back

sometimes, it surprises you, then you end up blaming yourself.

"people come and go". fate. yet sometimes, something we deliberately do - pushing other people away from us. but then, everything has its reasons, which we need not force ourselves to understand at the moment.

"people come and go". these people touch our lives and hopefully, we do touch theirs as well, knowingly or unknowingly.


for all the people who came and went away; for those who still stay; for those who are slowly moving on away from me; for those who are destined to leave me after some time;

thank you.
the memories of US will stay.
and everytime i would look at myself, i would always remember that this could have not been me - if not for you - for the pieces of me which you gave, you took away, you replaced, or you nourished.

(this makes me sound a passive recipient. but yes, i admit. it took me some time to realize but all these years, i am being so dependent on other people, for my own happiness.) i like to change. humugot naman sa sarili ko. but of course, it is always easier said than done.

and for those who will come and eventually leave, whether quickly or slowly, whether expectedly or unexpectedly, i would be waiting for the day we meet. would you give me pain, or happiness or escape, or fear, or illusion?

the cycle of coming and leaving would continue. but i believe it is never wortheless, never pointless.
