Isn’t it amazing how history talks about past event?

How long a letter, was written before with unknown.

How that single letter would age so badly not to be sent?

Because you think you’re just a pawn.

Many days, months, and years would pass.

You still think that single letter would change anything.

But in reality present brought you down hard on your ass.

In order to recover, you had to resort to everything.

There are times you didn’t know how to respond

As if the words just couldn’t reach what’s beyond.

Then you failed more, and more down to the ground

It’s that biggest pain you’ve carried that had no sound

Seeing everyday would just be another day of the past

A repetition of what happened yesterday.

Next thing you know you’re on a cycle

Like in a universal wheel on a bicycle.

Honestly, there was a few moment you took your chances

But it was meant to be a deceiving success.

A fake news, so that you’ll be the one to blame

A process, no one even dare touch until you came

You believe that you may turn this around.

Asking the future to be with you while you pound

Like a single punch to strike back!

With that determination, music returned like an outback

You now see the glimpse of where to go

Saying, “Onward!” with a rising song on the go!

True it could not be more dramatic, but who cares?

At least you stood up from the dark pit that no one dares!

Light surely shines upon the misery,

If that misery is certain to bring clarity.

Clarity to oneself, that he/she can make their destiny,

And learn to create their own reality.

So one day, when the timing is right

That one letter would be adequate

To be read by the intended receiver’s sight

And hopefully was not delivered late

Because this letter has suffered enough

Was held up on a dark room filled with other stuff.

Forgotten about, only listening to cold wind.

Without security if such entity will rip it, just like a fiend

So this letter also experienced what you had back then

Regardless of its state, it was simply the same.

The chances of you picking it up with good claim.

Because you saw the front written name, Karen.

You’re now at her front porch and wish to ring the bell

But again all the memories rushed towards you like hell

Got so afraid you rang and left the letter at the doorstep

Door suddenly opened, as you looked up and your eyes met.

Nervously, waved your hand and said, “Remember me?”

With that letter on the other hand, crushed behind your back.

She noticed what you hid and answered, “Is that for me?”

Gave the letter and walked away fast like schmuck

“Oi! Come back!” said the lady in red.

“Didn’t you give me this letter a long time ago?”

Confused, like a child learning to fix his bed.

You replied, “No, I didn’t because I was afraid for you to know”

“You did!” the lady insisted and said…

“Remember that game we made?”

There you are and here I am

Every day I wish we’ll stay the same

Peter on Neverland,

And Alice who’s always on Wonderland

Time will never end!

(Ben) Peter says, “Alice once you grow older I’ll carry you”

(Karen) Alice replies, “As I will never forget you!”

Then all of a sudden, clarity becomes a reality.

Dreams of uncertainty, has now entered the great fantasy!
