New path, new journey…
Friday, June 29th, 2007New path, new journey…
this time, i wrote this as an expression of my inner feelings that is hard to accept the change recently…
I believe in the saying…
When a new journey starts, life is terrifying… u wonder what could happen and imagine the end of the journey… excited and a little scared… u trope along the path… one step at a time… learning as u go… as time passes, u make friends and foes… time will come when your journey ends… as you came to the crossroad where your paths are divided again like the old… and a new path is chosen for your next journey… you now leave behind the love, passion and hate of the old journey as you start your next journey… leaving behind you… the friends and foe…
I am feeling sad right now as i wrote this words… My heart are sore without cure… my eyes are wet without tears… my hands are trembling without fear… and my mind is sad to the core…
I wanna cry but i can’t.. because i make an oath… to spill and to withhold… My blood i am to spill but my tears i am to keep…
my oath… A Man Doesn’t Cry, He Bleeds…
But i question… WHAT IS A MAN TODAY??
Can he cry? or he is not to…? this is a dilemma that generations hold…
But i know… i have to keep my oath…
I start my new paths a year and a half ago… leaving my family and friends… embarking on a new journey that would last two and a half… i was afraid of the future… yet certain i will reach my dreams… i was terrified but i had high hopes… i was excited as i imagine what my paths holds… As times flies, i was walking along my path slowly… one step at one time… fearing what the it holds as i took each new step… slowly yet certainly, i become grown and confident… that i will finnish this journey… and all the while, i make new friends from all over… and times flies past us in such a hurry… before we notice… they are on their crossroads… as i came into their journey in an instant… they went in an instant…
As of today…
My friends are leaving to take on their new paths… their journeys in my path ends as they reach their crossroad… i do not wish for our journey to end… as we had gone through the rough patches together, arms in arms… we have gone through the merry times and had fun together… our relations are as strong and firm as a mountain could hold… we are brothers by heart and friends by name… we know what place our hearts have for each other… our love, brotherly love…
may i say this my brothers, I LOVE U ALL…
I would live my life as good as i could as we progress in our journey of life…
So as to fulfill our unspoken words… that each of us live well…
Therefore… i shall always keep my allegiance to my Brothers Oath…
"Brothers in Arms, Brothers Forever"
…Our paths shall cross again…. someday…
…We will meet again… someday…
…We shall merry again… someday…
I will always love and care for all…
will miss u guys…
Yours,
Joshua Tan Zhao Hua
