RED IS THE NEW BLACK

Avatarrandom rantings and rabid retorts of a socially-retarded, decidedly high-strung, renewed romantic

quotidian quote IV - to bunwich



You get a strange feeling when you're about to leave a place, like you'll not only miss the people you love but you'll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you'll never be this way again.

Azar Nafisi
Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books



Demonstrate how distance can utterly and inexplicably fail to remove meaning, emotion, ardor and compassion. How it can remove the physical, but never the metaphysical, remaining unquestionably steadfast. How change, and time, and the parting of ways, is a mere hiatus, a momentary glitch in the search for fulfillment. Because wherever you are, we would be there. In the wind, in our words.

And he, he too will be there. Softly caressing the time sublimating until your reunion. Through the changes of tides, and the heaves of fate. Because your destinies are far too entwined and beautiful, entangled and exquisite to allow the superficiality of distanciation to negate the years it is built on, and the experiences it has nurtured. In every blush, and smile, every dreamy evening, and coffee-break, in your long walks, and hurried struggles, in the slow moments, and the dynamic days. He will be there. Undoubtedly. As he always has been.

Your mug will be warm when you get back.

@dabo Thanks. I appreciate it a lot. Sorry if it made you temporarily break your vow of silence. Although I've never met Bunwich, parting always has this certain sharp distilling effect on me. Of past parting memories long gone. So much so, they haunt me intermittently.

@Yj Hindi lang sweet. Cheezy din. Hehe. :)

@bunwich Your welcome. The fact that you got to read my humble ode is something I am immensely grateful for.

Eto lang ang kaya kong ipa-baon eh, mga salita.

Prove to them that it can be done, that you two can go beyond something as undeniable as distanciation, and come out of it unscathed. And when you two prove it possible, and moreso do-able, it would be more than enough as a sign of gratitude to all of us. :)
