Of Fireflies and The Light of Life.
Like what you've taught.
Some are just not worth the time :]
Everyday, we're caught up with all that shimmer and shine around us.
We start to spend everyday chasing and chasing and chasing those spots of blinding light.
All that while you're just fascinated with that light and keep reaching out to make it yours.
Most, I realised, fade away as quickly as they appear.
When they do, that sudden darkness overwhelms you and leaves you lost.
When one fades off, another would appear.
Sometimes many appear at the same time.
But at the end of the day, all fade away.
That's when you find yourself lost.
All over again.
And again.
Sometimes all it needs its just a step back from all that lights.
Then you realise those are just puny fireflies.
As puny as my nails now btw.
You also realised that those on and off flickering don't look as alluring as they seem anymore.
Gradually, you see this faint but steady stream of light that appears far far far away.
Sometimes we all need a step back.
To see things a little clearer.
So we know what's important and what's not.
Like what I told a little boy during camp.
1,3,5.
You tell yourself if it's important or not :]
Truth be told, that just might be another firefly.
That, we would know not.
But for now, it's not fading or flickering.
It does not leave you faltering.
And keeps you going forth.
Whenever my world starts to give a little sigh,
you'll always happen to pop by and say Hi :)With all these,
how can I ever forget?
How am I ever to forget.
This is not a promise.
It's already a part of me.
