Rest in Peace, My Beautiful Dream



These last couple of weeks, the writer in me has been pushing me to start again and, finally, after a visit from the Ghost of My Past (my previous entry), I did sit in front of my laptop and poured it all out.

In the process of restarting, I couldn't help browsing over my not-so-many published notes in my Facebook account. And my heart sank really deep when I found this note...

Rest in Peace, My Beautiful Dream

You came to me uninvited.
You turned my life upside down.

At times, you robbed me of my sleep - 
so I could take care of you.

At times, you stole me away from my loved ones -
so I could tend to your every need.

At times, you enticed me from the warmth of my home - 
so I could fulfill your every desire.

Much to my surprise,
I fell for you..
I fell so in love with you..
I felt so connected to you..

You came to me uninvited.

You brought colors to my life.
You helped me see the other side of me.
You let me live a different life.
You led me through a road less travelled.

You came to me uninvited.

And now,

You left me without saying goodbye.
You let me stand here waiting for you to come back.
You abandoned me without the slightest remorse.
You walked away... You didn't even look back.

You came to me uninvited.
You left me without warning.

I guess time has come for me to accept.
To let you go.
To sincerely say:
thank you for the magnificent journey!

Rest in peace, My Beautiful Dream.
