battles
Cause I want nothing more than to sit | Outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing | Is where I want to be
we fight battles every day. petty arguments, varied negotiations. then once in a while, life is moving along rather placidly when bombshells are dropped and we suddenly need to arm ourselves for the critical moments that are to come. if one's life is too intricately tied to another; be it family, friend or colleague, his battles end up becoming part of yours. being the aggressive okayletsfight person, i need to remember to take a step back from the battles that are technically not mine. standing back to watch debris raining down is difficult. collateral damage? hell, i will screw the people who cause me to become part of it.
however, i am trying to walk to the opposite side of the battlefield today. never ceasing to root for the one in it but also not constantly reiterating the fact that the battle has commenced (although unintentionally). no matter what promises have been made, we all know that no one walks out of the battlefield the same person who walked in. and not stepping into the zone means that i wont witness how the wounds result.
definitely a risky undertaking and i dont like it. but in view of the secrets shared and journey thus far, i guess i can have a little faith to walk to the other side. and i keep my fingers crossed that the wars will be over as quickly and as painlessly as possible.
cos maybe, even if everything changes at the end of the battles, people will emerge stronger individually and also be stronger together.
