The Song

Everyone has a special song in their heart that they will like. The song can be the oldest or the newest song ever, or it can be the simplest lyrics or melody one ever heard.

However, it is often this simplicity that makes a song moves ones heart. Its the simplicity of the lyrics that will bring out all the emotions and words that you want to tell someone, yet could not do it in person or simply, just didin't know how to put them in words.

I have never came across that song until recently. I was watching a game show the other day when that song popped up on the screen. It is not like i have not heard of that song, it just that when i heard it the last time, things were different, or i was younger with lesser experiences, so the song didnt really touched my heart at all. It used to be one of the nice song, until recently.

i guess when one gets older, or had gone through all the ups and downs in life and in relationship, lyrics are more relevant to one suddenly. This happened to me the other day when i heard the song again. The title of the song, when translated, meant the returned of the love. Overall the song is about how a girl has waited for a guy for a long time but eventually when he came back looking for her, she was afraid to reach out to him again. Instead she asked her friends not to tell him where she is, all because she was afraid that the good memories she had for them will be tarnished once they got back together, or that she was just too afraid to go through the pain again. At the end, the guy found another girl. Though the girl was sad but she is happy for him nonetheless.

Every time when i listen to this song, my past came flashing back and sometimes i wonder what will happen now, if i have done something differently. Have i regretted being with that someone in the past or have i regretted doing what i did, or not doing what i should?

I cant answer any of the questions i posted to myself. All i know is sometimes, things are better kept hiding in our heart, and only to mesmerize the memories alone secretly. When all things changed, memories remain unchanged. Or maybe it have changed by me beautifying them, but what's wrong with that if i can always put a smile on my face whenever i think of them?
