Mountainous

You were a mountain,

I was a shallow fountain laying low.

I could sustain you if only I had the same heights as you!

But, you know Adrian,

Just like Sun and Moon cannot coexist in the same axis,

Mountain and Plane land cannot compete!

Now, I have accumulated a length of patience to gain your height.

I understand what you’ve been carrying all along.

The weight of high standards and memories of losing the precious.

I have had also a fair share of losses.

I have seen lives lost,

Torn,

Gone astray,

I have seen lives stuck,

Stuck in ambition, greed, pain and regrets.

To sustain a mountain like bond,

One has to be mountainous.

You didn’t lower me to a flat land.

I rose.

I rose high.

Higher, like an eagle, to understand how lonely it feels to carry the weight of the heights!

Why don’t you believe in people anymore?! – Cause, I don’t want anyone to exploit my reason. How’s that like?!
