Finding who you are

The initial thrill in life carries the most existing episodes of firsts in your life...
The first crush ...first love letter onto the first love and first kiss.
Those names you curved on trees or wrote in the sand…
Those songs that brings back memories of a face...
Those months and gifts…those faded photographs...
Those are the flames and that part of you will never die.


Those youthful gestures you carry till today..
The gullible and random thoughts up front and very personal...
Those never ending days when inspiration was everywhere...
When love was young and so free...
There were twilight nights and rainbows all around...
There was you… laughter ... love and happiness.


Those were yesterday and true colors painted the years after..
Today we feel the pain and the truth behind fairy tales...
We woke up from dreaming and move on.. Onto the next...
We look at cotton candies in a bitter sweet reality..
That carnival rides of thrills and fears.. Those candid shots we hate..
Showed us all what and how life can be for real.
The storm, the rain, the drowning and the glory
The Love and Life we knew is older now.

No one can steal away the memories of your youth...
One day we all woke up older and smarter...
Today's reality might have gone through a tight struggle..
Fighting for survival and countless brand new starts...
A hundred trials was never written in candy wrappers..
Tears like water falls were never mentioned ...
Our hearts could bleed ...and yeas we can do our crying in the rain...
Now... we know them all and we see the true colors of love.

Keep the memories of your youth for we'll still need them one day..
For it makes you see the beautiful and imperfect you today..
Be blessed to have survived time and all its surprises ...
Remain young at heart but look far to be strong and smarter.
To grow old is a blessing for we have passed dark avenues...
We are wrinkled by every single laughter and tears..
We walk tall and fulfilled..yet listen !!! there's a silent whisper..
" Hello Youth you're still full of life..THANK YOU for staying with me till Today"
Be young… Be old....mix them together to find who you are.
