Lost like tears in the rain..
i saw this couple walkin down the street past me on Sunday.. it was raining heavily, I was taking a walk, waiting to be picked up by a friend when they caught my eye.. one of them was australian and the girl was chinese but neither of them spoke each others language. The guy, he was trying to explain something to her, he started speaking, 'do u rmemeber the 1st time we met when i was in the taxi and i saw u walkin down the street and was mezmarised and so i got off the taxi..and came to talk to u..??' and he did all these hand movements, trying his best to explain it and she just simply kept smilling and nodded, speaking in her own language as her reply to what he was saying.. they didnt understand each others words, they probablly didng understand each word and only got the overall idea of the conversation.. they couldnt talk and make the same silly jokes with each other as easy as we can but u know what.. they looked like they cudnt be happier..
it was so amazing.. made me realise that even tho love is so painful, we just never stop trying.. their happiness was true happiness..and those little things we take advantage of.. like being able to understand each other.. that couple made use of every little word they had and we abuse every other word we can by fighting with each other, just because we have the privilage of understanding the words we speak, all because we talk in the same language.. As for them, i bet they wish they could speak in the same language just so they could tell each other how in love they are - instead of abusing them and bitraying their trust.. Love may be overrated, but it's so beautiful.. it may not make the world go round but it sure is what makes the ride worth while..
it was really deep.. i got soaked wet watching them walk past me, happier then I would ever be, even though I've got that one thing they wish they had, the one thing they'll put their effort in just so they can communicate better, and here we, all of us - misuse it.. i felt so sad after.. wondering, how they can be so happy with each other without understanding every little word, how do they avoid fights.. and it was so simple, they were in love, and it didnt matter to them that they didnt understand every little word.. they used the small things like communicating with your eyes - those things we'd completly forgotten about while we were too busy complaining and fighting for things we didnt have, and never made the most of the things we did have..
I didnt know anymore, if I was upset about what I'd lost in my life... or if I was happy that it'd gone because it was an insult to love... I didnt know if I was feeling that pain for losing it or because I didnt leave it earlier... I wanted it, yet I knew It wasnt right... because it wasnt real love.. and watching them did something to me deep inside..
I couldnt move.. everything in my mind just drained out and I was speachless.. like I'd just realised something and it left a mark of pain inside me.. nor could I help my tears.. the rain got heavier as tears rolled down my eyes, I felt so lost.. lost like my tears in the rain..

i totally love what u wrote, i wont say i've experienced it, but wud agree that the simple things in life are the ones that make u happy the most. the couple may be in love, i dunno about that, hopefully it does work out, but then again as u pointed out, instead of abusing the power to communicate, they shud try and use it fr their own GOOD..and as for people in general, this is the way they are, they misuse the small privileges that sum1 else might not have...they might not do it knowingly, its jus natural...they jus learn to be some1 else, sumthing that they truly might not be, but what they do and react and handle situations is a facade that is naturally put up, not by them but by society itself in today's world. no1 is different, all of us at some stage do it, maybe even regularly, try and HANDLE situations, try and MAnipulate things, tryin to say the right things at the right time..but well is dat what really matters?? i do it too, but i wanna unlearn all these things, i wanna be a kid again, where i dont havta care about what i say where...coz dats the real thing...nd i don mean that u havta be hurtful to som1 else by being u...but instead of doing things which are POLITICAL(lets say), is jus making a picture with chalk on a blackboard and rubbin it over for sumtin new the next time..atleast i wanna use a permanent marker, leave my memory etched in people's minds as what i was, am and will be- THE SAME...its not monotony its jus being true to what u are..being an epitome of a normal human being in today's world is conformity...bein YOU in today's world is standin out...as u said the couple were the happiest then, but the question is will they still be happy, the same way few years down the line when they have broken these barriers? love is good...its essential...it helps u to have a motive...but then what happens in the past is an experience....and it shud b left as that...every1 falls in love..some may fall in love just once...others don seem to get enough of it...bt what matters is findin the right person to love...and be loved by...so we shud all try and be like the couple in the rain...try and be like them so that we all get along great and still be ourselves...but try not to misuse the simple things we take for granted in life!!
