Coming Back to Life, or not?

... a post that was long overdue, something that took 5 years to acknowledge...

Of the good times, of the not-so-good ones
Of the exaggeration of happiness, of the ease of pain
Of the people abound during moments of joy, of the loneliness of sorrow
Of Coming Back to Life, of being lost in time

Songs are integral to life. If someone were to say his/ her hobby is to make playlists, people might laugh. Still, he does, he makes playlists to live by songs that help him recollect memories. There is a story in every song. There is a story in everything.

One fine day, the rain did fall outside, while he pondered on an irresistible timeline. There was a friend who waited anxiously for something good to happen to his best friend. He ignored the friend, as always. He couldn't possibly think of his friend's anxiety when he had his own. Waiting, and batting the much-needed sleep, he came across some good news, across joy. He left his friend behind to pursue the other friends who abound him in that moment. There were greetings, and congratulations. He shared the news with everyone, but he forgot to thank his friend. The friend had to find through someone else, but was happy enough to ignore that.

To the people who stick around and wait for the people they believe in to get their share of joy
To the people who stand by the good and the not-so-good times
To the people who exaggerate happiness and ease pain
To the people who don't leave you, no matter how happy or sad you are
To the people who always stand by but are taken for granted

There is never an end to questions like: who are we? why are we here? what is our future? But, there is always time to thank people who stood by. To the music that reminds of them. To the thing that keeps us going.

... a tribute to David Gilmour. Listen and enjoy! :)


P.S.: a very odd post after a long, long time. But, there are good ones to come during better times.
