Cherish The Moments
Cherish the moments that life has to give
So you can remember as long as you live.
Memories are all that shall ever remain,
Of moments of life you can never regain
Children, your family, friends that you knew,
Will grow up or away and bid you adieu.
Nothing's forever, not written in stone,
The past is behind you, tomorrow's unknown
So capture today, take THIS moment, NOW,
This may be all the fates may allow.
Hold close to your heart, those moments of love,
And cherish them all as a gift from above.

Life is truly full of surprise for us. No matter who we are, we know the feeling of cherishing something or even someone.
In one point of our life, when we are small, we must have one toys that we cherish so much that we feel we're losing something when we lose it.
Growing up, we replaced the toy with someone. The feeling is a little bit different than when we were small.
When we're cherising our toys, the feeling is only one way. Because there is no way toys can give back the feeling to us. We feel happy, becaue toys don't have feeling and is not able to give us any insecurity. All we know is that there is no way to take the happiness from us except the toys is lost (which will never be if we could prevent it)
But it's different thing when we're dealing it with another person.
Person that we cherish may not give us back what we're hoping for. Person that we cherish may even not regarding us of what we're doing for them. Person that we cherish may not know that we're doing it.
Some romantically call it "unrequited love". I, personally, call it "EMOTIONAL HELL".
Maybe we're used to hear the saying: Love, and you shall be loved.
But don't expect it from the same person. It's just... sometimes we have to let it flow. Perhaps that person will regard us back, but most of the time - and I'm saying this as a matter of fact, seeing how often I feel this way - the other person just swat it and let it go. Just like that.
I learned my lesson in a hard way. Cherising someone doesn't always mean that we'll be cherished back. But have it ever occur to us that maybe... maybe we also do the same thing to someone that cherish us?
We might be so blind with trying to cherish someone that we don't see clear with other people. But when you're trying to step back a bit, and try to see the world like a movie, you'll find that there are people who also cherish you.
Like people saying, "Move on, baby, move on..." It shall be done.
