a journey on hold..

he was walking in the street.. there were people around.. some going in the same direction.. some in the opposite.. some going fast.. some going slow.. some standing still.. too many people going everywhere, but he felt alone.. he was alone.. no companion along his journey.. not that he wanted it this way.. but that's how it was.. and he was ok about it.. so he was going on his own way.. with his own pace.. to his own goal.. and it was good..

he collided with her.. along the way, they just bumped into each other.. he hit people before.. and he always went on his way.. but this time it was different.. she went along with him.. this also happened before.. people would sometimes be going his way.. but she was different.. this time it was different.. she was going on her own way.. with her own pace.. to her own goal.. but it just happened that it's the same way he's going.. with the same pace.. to the same goal.. or at least that's how it seemed..

they walked together.. hand in hand.. like one.. but again that's only a figure of speech.. they can't be one.. it's virtually impossible..

then came the moment where they faced a crossroad.. they thought they're going to the same goal.. and yes they are.. but each wants to go there in their own way... but it's a crossroad.. and they have to decide.. which way to go.. cuz even though they're both going to the same goal, they need to decide which way to go.. or else, they will separate.. each going on alone again.. yeah they'd eventually meet again.. but who knows, it might be too late..

he wants her to go along.. but he wants her to want it too.. he will not force her or trick her.. but how can he do it.. how can he make her want it.. he thought he was that close to her.. that he can actually create thoughts for her.. that he can influence her heart beats.. or take her breath away.. but he realized he can't.. no matter how close he gets to her.. no matter how much he wants her.. no one, just no one can have that kind of effect on someone..

he will go on.. yes he will.. and she will too.. and they will both reach their common goal.. they are that strong.. but will it matter?..

nothing.. nothing they can do would ever turn back time.. time will go on.. it always does..
