I can't help myself but be melodramatic. As I watch the sun slowly set again while staring at the red-orange skies, I realize that at this point in my life, everything seems to lead to goodbyes. I am not the one to elaborate because I don't usually put my heart on my sleeves but then again, everything happens for a reason. I will just put my faith in Him and I know I will be alright. Sunset means Goodbye but Goodbye also means moving on...
...there was nothing in sight
running away from the carnage
the memories left abandoned
all gone in a blink of the eye...
...sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
sometimes goodbye’s the only way...
until everyone i knew was ready to turn and run away...
that i’ve got no regrets...
...looking for the right words to say,
i’m not quite sure how to put my words...
...as a solitary tear drop slid down my cheek,
i packed my bags and walk towards the sunset...
and tomorrow i’ll forget
about my grief today!
All shots taken at Mahabang Buhangin Beach in Calaguas Island, Camarines Norte. Poem credits to Poetry of Life.
No matter what pains you, I hope everything has been worth it.
ReplyDeleteAnd remember: the secret to the beauty of a sunset is its brevity. And the greatest mystery about it is how, no matter what happens in between, the sun will always rise up the following day, majestic as always.=)
I don't know if this is about relationship but if it is I would like to share with you what a wise(ass) co-worker once told me - after a while, after you've been dating the same person for a long time you reached a point where you either go get married or break up. no you cannot stay in that spot forever, you have to move on together or move away from each other.
ReplyDeleteor maybe you're just melancholic about the summer season about to end :)
in any case here's a cyberhug. i'll take you out for a beer if i can.
moving on is always a gift to yourself.faith is a good thing, my friend, it guides us in our darkest hour. and when the heart weeps for what is lost, the spirit laughs for what it has found.
ReplyDeletei'll join you guys for that beer.:p
finally, calaguas series na.
ReplyDeletemore more! Ü

ReplyDeleteCan't figure out what's happening to you bro. I know you had a bad experience with the sinking banca. Hopefully you've gotten over it but whatever it is , all the best to you. I wish you all the success in life :)

ReplyDeleteSecondly, just remember that in every sunset comes a sunrise where new challenges in life awaits.

ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I'm seeing the emotional side of you - I can feel it not just through your words but the melancholy of your sunset photos. Anyway, there will always be sunrise after a long, dark night.
