they never knew


it has been so long since i've last done this, it seems a little difficult starting. anyhow, here goes.

i really wonder how the old days went by the way they did, the same way i wonder why street lights are positioned the way they are. when i was younger, during the long trips home in the wee hours before daybreak, i would lie flat on the back seat, till i could stare straight outside, where i see the street lights move by. when i got used to doing that, i was so good at it that i could my blinks could synchronise with the reapperance of the glaring street lights. and secretly, the sight of the street lights soothed me inside. doesnt it amaze you?

as i got older, i slowly forgot that i ever enjoyed doing that, cause now, i no longer have the luxury of lying on the back seat. now, i'm the one in front of the wheel. but the street lights still never fail to mesmerise me, as my car cruises down the highway. it is so beautiful, it blinds me.

how will street lights appear to me in another twenty years time? will they still be as stunning as they always had? or would they just be another thing in life, another thing that i would gradually grow out of, gradually forget?




life is not a bed of roses,
now i know





so it slipped away
