IN LIEU OF LOVE

“Love is the manipulation of emotion to control the mind.”-Seducing Mr. Perfect (Korean Movie)

It’s sad to end up such a happy feeling but I must!

Stars from afar are luring me

Shimmers of gold from distant lands excites me,

And he? He’s just a he.

It’s not the right time to think selfishly

There’s a long journey to travel, dreams to fulfill,

Dreams that does not include him yet…

Not yet…

I just want to be, what I want to be—to be successful.

I want to succeed even if it means loneliness,

Even if it means …losing you first.

Yet, I know it won’t take long and our path will again cross,

But if the color will not be the same,

And the light that once glow in us already faded,

I hope I’ll not regret that I choose to succeed in lieu of your love.

To you,

I thank God for the chance of meeting you. It must have been love…but the sun had just risen.

Tomorrow is full of uncertainty; I refuse to take the risk. I’m sorry…maybe someday.
