Hindsight

When words run out, how do we give justice to silence? My truth has lost its validity when I took countless of detour for the sake of refinement and breakthrough. I want to ask you: What happened to patience and delayed gratification? My love for self-worth and self-respect has taught me to never blame myself for running away and for believing in the idea of right time. But there is so much about you I need to unveil. And so much of this world I need to see for the first time. I knew where it all went wrong - our perception of time differs in a great span. If the universe can speak its language, you will be able to hear it say sorry a million times. A bucket of apologies, for allowing things to end up this way.

But you know I will always  build an empire with or without you to uphold me in this intent of finding purpose to my very own existence. It's been years of catching fire, and walking through it became my personal triumph. It never occurred to me before that finding glory means taking zero chances. Because sometimes, it is in not risking, that we risk it all.

It took me a while to understand that there is no such thing as go-getter people, there are only patient ones. These are my kind of people. The ones I am willing to exchange my hours of sleep with, for hours of deep talks about the things I think about at three am. I will probably pretend I know everything about you, although I know we do agree on a lot of things. It will be boring but we will be thankful.

And so, to you who was once lost but now found, please do get home safely after you wander around. This world is full of beautiful people and happiness is everywhere within our reach, but do not forget it only takes a matter of seconds to scar the human heart. If you have found yourself a place to rest, and a place where you can be at your best, stay there and forget the rest of the world. You are already where you are supposed to be.
