Holding On
The moments we once shared together,
Showed me you are someone I must cherish forever.
But when cold fills your night,
I may not always be able to give you a warm embrace.
And when you stumble in a fight,
I may not be able to offer you a hand to help you rise.
When fate demands us to walk different paths,
I may not be able to be by your side.
Yet still, I will always plead to God,
To grant you ease when roads get tough.
Dear... the prayer I plead resides in a place,
Where my heart will always keep near to your side.

Exactly, Rolph, thank you for your kind words and profound interpretation. An experience came to me, I have someone who is more than just a friend; she feels like a mother and an older sister to me. Every year on our birthdays, we always say things like, "We will grow old together until our grandchildren become friends." That’s how close we are.
However, a situation arose that made her withdraw, not just from me but also from our other mutual friends. During that phase, metaphorically speaking, I extended a rope to pull her out of that hole, but she neither grabbed it nor rejected it. On the other hand, I had my own struggles, and I couldn’t keep holding on to that rope forever. I never truly let go of her, I just tried to give her space while I was also trying to collect my thoughts within my own space.
Anyway, I guess I’ve shared too much, but I hope that whoever reads this can take something positive from it as a lesson.
Warm regards,
Yanmah
