WHEN I DIE…

When I die, no one should cry

Shed no tears for tears would dry!

Just remember me for the smile on your face

That from the good memories, you can trace

Remember me for the little talk

The one we had when we went for a walk

Once in a while, do miss me for sure

And remember my gossips from the days of yore

When you happen to hear my favourite song

Just think of me and dance along

When you feel you lost, when you think you are beat

Embrace my enthusiasm and don’t accept defeat

When you feel lonely and have no one by your side

Close your eyes, feel my presence, with the rising tide

Feel my warmth in the sun rays, my stillness in the moon

See my smile in the flowers; your fatigue would be gone soon

Think of our conversations that touched your heart

And how we cherished them when we were apart

And whatever happens, be sure to smile

And believe how being together was always worthwhile

And when I’m gone pray for my soul

And wish to the Almighty to keep me whole

And when I die, don’t you cry

Shed no tears for tears would dry!

LOVE YOURSELF….AND SMILE!

One can accept being hurt by a loved one’s behaviour (or actions) when they are unaware of it. What hurts is when they know about it and still don’t care.
They say, when you trust someone, trust them completely. You’ll end up having a wonderful relation or a wonderful lesson. But what do you do after learning the lesson? Do you trust that person again? What do you do when a part of you wants to trust them blindly like you’ve never been hurt but suddenly, another part of you refuses to accept similar deceit again? When it comes to ourselves, when we make mistakes, we would surely advocate being given another chance because we humans learn from our mistakes. But aren’t we sceptical in giving others that chance?
At times, it’s not our scepticism that stops us. It’s the other person himself. If a person makes a mistake and realises it, he would be careful enough to not repeat it but it seems meaningless to give another chance to a person who cannot even see how he traumatised someone with his behaviour. It’s the indifference that is difficult to swallow.
However strong we may believe ourselves to be, we cannot walk this big wide world alone. We need our loved ones by our side. And eventually, we all give them chances, over and over again. And at times, let ourselves down with such decisions. But life doesn’t stop. That one person you think you cannot live without today might not be there with you tomorrow. The one person, who was never supposed to let you down, probably will. That love which was supposed to comfort you for the rest of your life would probably go away. That relation which was expected to decorate your life might end up destroying your soul.
But the show must go on! Have faith in the Almighty! Trust Him. Love Him. Give chances to people you love but with a pinch of salt. Trust them but keep an eye. Walk out before it’s too late. Get yourself treated well because those who don’t respect you don’t deserve you. And your life will never stop for anyone, unless you let it. Be happy. You are totally worth it. Love yourself even if no one else does. And smile! You don’t own all the problems in the world and you never will!

GROWING UP

At times you realise that you have to keep all your emotions locked up inside. No matter how much it hurts, you have to hide the pain. No matter what someone does to you, you have to smile back to that person because that relationship is essential in defining who you are. You can’t hold anyone close to your heart. You can’t force them to stay with you. You have to understand that if they want to leave, probably it’s best for them to leave. Probably, you could not make them feel so loved that they would want to be loved by no one but you. Probably, you have to understand that some things are just not meant to be. Probably.
You eventually reach a stage where you no more cry yourself to sleep because you don’t have any tears left to cry. You don’t share your pain because you know no one understands it the way you do. It’s all a part of God’s master plan. It’s a part of growing up. Loving. Getting hurt. Moving on. Growing up! This is what makes a man out of a boy. This is what transforms a girl into a lady. Probably, I’m ready for it!
