With people killing each other like animals fighting over prey, divorce rate so high, relationships barely make it to sunrise, it’s evident that love is a very scarce resource. It is a beautiful thing, you might argue, but external factors like money, fear, cruelty, ego, seem to be taking over. We don’t love one another anymore Everyone seems to be someone’s ex, ex-boyfriend/girlfriend, ex husband/wife, ex secret lover. Real friends are no more, real men all fell during the Second World War, so is real women.
Today they love you, you mean the sky and the stars to them, they can’t leave without you, the next day it’s a different chapter from the book titled disappointments and Heartaches.
But through it all, who hold you when everything falls apart, take your pain away and walk you through your battles. Who supports you when you’ve made a decision, help you avoid making mistakes that will sink you in, recreate all that has been lost and taken away from you and helps you take few more steps towards the beautiful Island called happiness?
Who hold you when you down, say all the right and sweet things to lift you up, to lighten up your mood. Who looks at you with a smile on their faces when you cry and say “everything is going to be alright” even when they know it’s not going to be?
Who stick with you through everything, good and bad times, even when you feel like giving up they’re always there to give up with you. Who overlooks all your flaws, focus only on the good things about you, loves you for who you are, never try to change anything about you?
When hell breaks loose, who grabs you and calm you down, put their back against the wall to save yours, even when you are wrong they stand by your side?
Everybody hugs you, miss you, says all the unique things you want to hear, but who outshines them all, says it better than others. Who transforms all the old words you’ve been told, recycle them to make them sounds like it’s the first time you are being told. Who put the meaning behind all the meaningless things, meaningless words and everything else that seems to be meaningless and make it sounds special?
Who makes you listen even when you don’t want to, always finds a way to make you smile even when you are mad. Who listens when you talk, not only when the situation favors them, but whenever you need them, they are always there to talk to you?
Who knows your heart better than anyone else, the one who can tell when you’re not ok before you even mention it? Who can cross the North Pole just to make sure you’re ok, the one you know you can always count on with everything including the panels of your heart. The one who would rather be a fool than to watch you leave, ignore all your mistakes, admit all the wrongs even when they are innocent just to keep you closer
Who favors “we” over “I” when making decisions that affects you both, someone who understand tomorrow is never promised to make all the decisions based on the possibilities it pose, someone who doesn’t only consider how they feel right now, what they want but how you both feel and what you both want
When you slip and fall, who will find you lying on the floor, after how long, days, months or just few hours? Who will notice when something goes wrong with you before everybody else’s suspicions comes in?
People come and go, a lot of things change day by day, everything come to an end, but who will remain there for you, by your side even, when the love is gone, all the beautiful things you said and love about one another are all gone with the wind, but remain by your sides still
Who holds you when there’s no one there to hold you?
