Fireflies

You will never know what it meant to you, till its gone... and all that is left of it are tiny pieces of the past. Like fireflies who glow for some time, and are gone forever after that.

You will never know what you've lost, till you realise... that without it, life is incomplete. And there is an empty space, which you cant fill. Like happiness, which overwhelms us one moment and gone the other.

You will never know why some questions were never answered. Why some things were never said.
Will I?

PS: Pic is of China's National Day celebration fireworks, at Victoria Harbour, as seen from my apartment terrace.

It's frustrating. I'm not yet comfortable with the not knowing part of life...atleast my life.

You don't miss the water till the well runs dry.

Interesting bit of introspection. The true value of things always come by later, much later.

Oh wow! When I first started reading it, I thought you were quoting someone! Nice work!

And yeah.. I always wish, like five times every minute, that I could have done things differently in my life.. and could learn to appreciate things while they lasted.

Rohan,
Uncertainities are challenging sometimes... but its scary too, right? Not knowing where one will end up... *sigh*

Cowlick,
Thanks :)
I totally know what you mean! I myself think that so often.. what if?

Some questions are not answered, because they cannot be. And if they were, they'd just leave one profoundly unsatisfied.
