a series of traffic lights.

Have you ever come across the situation where you have to go through a series of traffic lights which turns yellow 100-200 meters upon reaching? The distance is just somehow not enough for you to push harder on accelerator and beat the lights. You have no choice but to stop and wait.

You wait 1-2 minutes patiently with the rest. Either mind drifting away, sipping a cup of coffee, looking around with a great deal of curiosity or maybe just counting away the seconds left.

So, green light. Great! Here we go again, the journey begins. You accelerate away. Just when you hit the optimum speed, you reach the next traffic light. It stops you by turning yellow 100-200 meters upon reaching again. The distance is just right at the point where you can not beat the light.

Again, you’re waiting for the 1-2 minutes.

The same sequence continues for the next few traffic lights ahead. There is when you just stop and wonder, “How nice would it be if I came out of my house 10 seconds earlier?”.

How often do we encounter that? Actually, this event has some similarities with life. In life, there will be hiccups along the way. These hiccups will always be packaged together and hit you at a period of time consistently. Just like the stops before each traffic light.

Hopefully, our sequence of traffic light stops will end soon and we may be able to go through a just-in-time-before-it-turns-yellow series of traffic lights again. You know why?




Cos that feeling is the greatest.

you.

Dear you,

How have you been? Is everything surrounds you been good to you? Are you getting along to your surroundings well?

I'm sorry that i could not be there for you whenever you needed my companion. I've tried my best to be there, give you a certain amount of time and support whenever possible. Although i must admit that the amount of time may not be enough for you. I know, it's my fault. But, i have always try to give you a certain amount of presence surprises.

You have been cold to be these days. I do not know what's wrong. I do not know when it started and where it went wrong. It was all fine before this until recently you started distancing me. Why? I wish to know. I wish to know more than the answer. I wish to know how i'll be able to fix it. How nice would it be if you could converse it to me, share your feelings and thoughts with me.

I miss you. I miss you so much. I've never wished to have a non-death separation with you. I have always thought we would be together till death do us apart. What happens to our promises?

Thanks for the wonderful time you have given me throughout these years. It was like a near-perfect dream. Everything was so beautiful and you made me fall in love like a girl again. I doubt i will be able to fall into such a wonderful dream anymore.

I wish it did not have to happen this way. In fact, i wish it did not happen at all.

I love you.
