age

Dust on an antique vase.
Wrinkles on the face of an elderly.
Torn and frayed edges of a piece of paper.
Memories that we gain (and sometimes forget) as time goes by.




How does it feel like to be old? You can't do anything about it, just watch yourself grow older day by day. Cells get worn out, you aren't as agile as you were a decade or two ago, you get frailer and frailer.

The wrinkles on your beautiful face are not just evidence of you being old... No, they're not. Instead, they're sure signs of how you've not given up despite all those setbacks. They're also proof that you've had much more experience than anyone else in this world.

You might appear to be fragile physically, but deep in my heart, you're just as strong as anyone else. We might not be able to run, jump, talk or do silly things as much as we did before, but at least you're still here with me, with us.

We cannot fast-forward time, neither can we slow it down. What we can do, however, is to embrace what we have right now. Treasure our life and what little time we have left to create more memories and evidence of our existence.







P/S: TOTALLY OUT OF POINT.
What the F!
F! F! F!!!!
I'd like to write more stories in verse next time. (:
I went to the library today. Next time, I'd better check out Tumblr for some book recommendations. I'm already regretting borrowing only 4 books. I JUST FOUND ONE REALLY NICE BOOK. And it was on the shelf waiting for me to borrow it. AND I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH IT. Why?! Sigh.

Anyway, inspiration came from... SMS-ing. Ooh. Topic came from kor again. I think this is the topic... my phone keeps saying 'Inbox Full' when it obviously is not! And to think I keep falling for that trick -.- damn you, phone. I can't wait go get my SONY ERICSSON SATIO <3
