“When It Falls “

Yes it’s gonna be love again, but this time it’s gonna be different, coz while i write about these questions…. I’m saying something to you…
Imagine a tree, one that’s not that old… not that tall… just an ordinary tree with leaves that seem to hold on…. waving left to right, moving as if it were moving as one with the silent sound of the wind blowing…. then as you look towards it more and more you notice that at a certain moment…. a certain leaf started to let go and was falling…. you may say its falling freely, or maybe say it’s sadly falling…. for a thing that happens for about 5 seconds or less, it’s such a sight.
But isn’t it funny to think that such sight, which probably only takes only 5 seconds or less to happen could pretty much sum up an important part of one man’s life… and yes, I’m talking bout a certain love eevnt that pretty much happened to each and every one of us…. a love story that ended up in a mystery of which noone really knows who to blame.
The tree may symbolize a goal…. the girl you court… the guy you fell in love with… tha right one at that time…. somone that remaind motionless… and you could be the leaf… at first, it may not seem as if you were holding on, or trying not to fall…. but eventually, you will find yourself in a position where, like the leaf, you either just hold on…. ride with it … or let go…. and i can say that it’s not as easy as it seems…. coz i’ve been that leaf for quite some time now….. wondring what I was to the tree…. will i be with the tree as one… should I stay… or am I gonna be once a part of that tree….. coz things happen… there will be issues that ruin peoples trust…. past things that others can’t let go of… lies that seem true to others…. moments that happened sooner that it should…. or maybe it just should’nt happen afterall… these things can be the wind that passes everytime we think it’s over… and silent as it is…. it can be felt.
The leaf may fall everytime…. it seems to be natural…. but granted that it is, if such a thing happens… will it be the leaf to blame, for it did’nt hold on like it should… or will it be the tree that seems effortless as if it were letting the leaf go…. or will it be the wind that comes ang goes as if it were on a journey to seperate the leaf from a tree…. or will it be because every tree has to let go… every leaf has to fall some time… and every wind has to silently blow…
Seconds gone by… the wind blew and a leaf fell…. and I saw a part of me.
