The BIGGEST DON'T in Friendship

RANDOMNESS

The BIGGEST DON'T in friendship: Don't mistake KINDNESS to LOVE.

Once you commit that mistake, it will lead to a series of mistakes...

Mistaking KINDNESS to LOVE -> Falling in love to the MISINTERPRETED KINDNESS -> Nurturing obsession to the WRONG idea you're friend's in love with you -> Pressuring your friend to transform PLATONIC to ROMANTIC love -> Crossing beyond the BOUNDARY of friendship with no stronghold of MUTUAL love -> Trapping each other in a weak relationship of DISPARITY and INSECURITIES -> Tearing down the BOND with each other with NO HOPE of repair, no hope of reestablishing camaraderie... Forever END.

<A reflection of the hearty discussion I just had with my friend (T_T ) >

Our Broken Journey to the Vast Blue Sky

LITERARY WORKS

01/16/2011

On the orange path we called life
I walked on together with you two
We didn't mind the narrow path,
all we could see was the vast blue sky

Afloat in our feathery fantasies,
suffocated in our own happiness,
none of us noticed the little thorns by the path
none of us noticed the cuts the wounds amidst our feet

Within the moment of smiles, I felt the mild pain
the little thorns piercing through my skin.
I looked at you two smiling at my left and right
Without thinking of you hiding your own pain
smiling, I played pretend everything's alright.

We walked far and yet it's not near
the vast blue sky of infinite dreams.
If alone, I would have stop to eradicate the thorns
and yet I worry, I will fail you of my delay.

If only I knew.. If only I noticed sooner...
You two also agonized the same pain.

But I didn't, and you two didn't
and so we walked on amidst secrets and pain.
Gradually forgetting, slowly neglecting
how we began and how we never wanted this to end.

Enduring and pretending,
we used our smiles to conceal the pain
and fancy fantasies to overlook the wounds.
Our feet don't even touch the ground anymore
in fear of thorns piercing deeper to our skin.

For a moment, I looked back
I see the fading footprints and memories behind us
Back then, I didn't mind them fading
Together we can make new footprints and memories
in the vast blue sky ahead.

Seeing and feeling your presence beside me
I face forward to our vast blue sky of dreams
I closed my eyes and breathed in the soft breeze.
Awakened, I found you two gone from my side.

At my left, at my right, I can't find either of you two.
All was still, all was silent, I can't see your smiles anymore.
I turned around, there are only the fading remnants of ours.
I desperately reached out but even those I can't obtain anymore.

I looked up ahead towards our vast blue sky
It has turned white, briskly turning dark..
Heavy clouds are covering our blue infinite dreams.
Rain began to pour.

The orange path ahead becomes muddy and black
staining dirt on my clear blue sky dreams.
Alone and confused, I move a step forward
instantly I fell down on the slippery mud.

Rain poured heavily on my downtrodden soul
drowning my confidence, hopes and dreams.
With no one to answer me here,
I wonder if you two are suffering the same abyss.

Rain pattered bitterly on my face
with a salty taste lingering on my lips
My disbelieving sight blurs amidst the tears and rain
The orange path.. OUR orange path disappears.

Tell me...
On this muddy ground in front of me,
Am I to make a new path towards the vast blue sky..
Alone?
