'we'

we laughed together, before we even said 'hi.'
we then parted, before we even get connected.
we wasted our times, before we started treasuring them.
we fought for moments, before we began to cherish one.
we wondered why things felt so wrong, before we figured what's right.
we tried to shorten the distance, before we even began to walk.
we gradually forgot to laugh,
forgot to treasure,
forgot what it feels like to feel so right,
and forgot to take that step.
we wasted our times,
we fought,
we felt so wrong,
and we got tired of the distance.
we then bid our goodbyes,
before we have a chance to say another 'hi.'

and the story has to end here,
because there's no longer 'we,'
from now on,
there's only you, there's only me,
and everything in between... if there's any.

do you agree that life is a cycle, or in other words, a series of events repeating themselves in a sequence? well, i could not really argue with that statement, but i keenly believe that some events are meant to happen just once. some things, like chances, only come one time. some feelings are meant to be one of a kind. although i am more familiar with the idea that the future is what we should always go after, i know that no matter how beautiful my future is going to be, it is still dark at the moment, and i am still living in the present as of now. i trust that there are things that won't occur ever again, people that won't show up again, and opportunities that won't approach me again, which is why when the present feels so sweet, i secretly wish for time to freeze, so that i'd be able to preserve that moment, that feeling, and that kind of person that i am. or was.
