whereas permanence is ......... ?
i spent 10 days with someone who was not my boyfriend nor my friend. there was no red line connecting us yet the attachment was still visible. how long will it last? i don't know, chances are : not long. there are still those Xs tagging along behind both of us, in one way or the other. yet the charm of it is that we both know the attachment can be removed with a single wipe.
why do we admire the temporary moments/things/feelings? i've never realized how amazing the sunlight is in jakarta, yet i get absurdly excited over a second of sunlight entering my windows now. no one would devour the ice cream cake if the truth is that it will never melt. i'll never think of the air unless i'm told that it will reach its limit in the next 3 days. shoes will sell out fast only because they have 'limited editions' printed on them.
people start to gaze at others because of their outer beauty. inner beauties are invisible, lifelong. still, how long does the vision last? we age everyday since we stopped growing. the temporariness of it is everlasting. but when one starts to play with the temporary and make it permanent, that is when the beauty of it is gone - one is left with a hoax and NOT beauty. so where does permanence stand? i think its a mere necessity. we need the air to breathe, we need a strong, reliable personality and we definitely need shoes. haaaa. people tend to be drawn by the outer but fall in love with the inner beauty.
i'm still living the temporary life whereas the X wanted otherwise.
but with this flying duck, i don't need him (yet?). i want him.
