safe and secure
What makes someone secure?Is it the amount of money he gets to accumulate in this lifetime?
Is it the sound of a hello from a family member who is living far away?
Is it a comforting hug from a loved one you haven't seen for a long time?
Is it that reassuring "i love you" from a partner after every hardship conquered?
Is it fame and popularity?
Is it a spoken promise of being loved no matter what, whoever and whatever temptation came along the way?
What?
In this lifetime, in this time now, I don't think there is any way of feeling secured.
Everyday, every time, you encounter something that would shake the ground from beneath you and make you slip, thinking if there's someone who will catch you.
Everyday, every time, you meet someone who seems fitting in his life, and you feel that unwanted and unsolicited threat of what she is, has and can offer.
And then, you're shot back to the reality that you can only protect your heart from so much, and yet it would still feel pain. It would still hurt deep, down inside.
You try so hard to fathom the idea that of course not, you are here now. This is you and him now. Nothing else can ever take that away, because you won't let it.
