Remember when you took a dive into the deep blue?
And when everyone shouts and says,
"stupid! Water's icy cold!"
---but you sliced thru the waves?

You just felt how iced cold the water is.

Dammit, you said.
And yet,
--you kept on wading the deep blue.

Remember, that moment when you were told, it's not going to be easy?
And you said, you're fine. You don't complain much..
--yet here you go.
Is there a writer somewhere who just ended the story,
--when you suddenly stopped swimming and you stayed along the shores?
Remember when someone asked you,
"hey, what if the boat never comes?

You just can't remember what you said...and here you go again.

Taking a step back...dammit.

Dear Shoelaces

I've been jogging around UP every weekends,or every chance I get. Early sunshine...cool morning dews... I've been running with my ever so faithful fuchsia Keds with untied laces.

And this metaphor and synechdoche all started when I heard those words...and every time they are being said,I shook my head and smile. Because,my shoelaces are still untied.

I decided to let those crazy girlish thoughts go by. These can easily be thrown to the wind and leaving me, all messed up again. Hoping is inevitable. Wishing is a secret.That is why, I kept the shoelaces untied.

I also decided to grow up, a little. I know,Rome wasn't built in a day. Good foundation makes me feel that the future is shining up ahead. Thus, good foundation is not always ASAP.

I don't know if hints have been given. I am as gullible as I am suspicious. So when I made a choice, I thought it was a good one. It was the choice to stay and wish.

Because when I stayed,I know that I'll get tired of running....it seems that I was just running around in circles. Enjoying the scene and all, but in circles...

So, I kept my shoelaces untied. Waiting,to tie the knot.
