One Life Is not Enough

We get fooled by destiny. We believe we have a plan but time and circumstances take us along unforeseen paths. We are already in love and we keep falling in love. We are satisfied where we are but we get restless and yearn for the next journey. We believe we have found what we’ve been looking for only to begin the search for that something that is painfully missing. We think we’ve made it and we keep looking for the next opportunity around the corner, the next chance, the next dream. We can’t settle down by nature. We believe we can but it’s an illusion. One life is not enough to be all that one wishes; to experience all the love one desires.

‘I will never betray our friendship’ were her words that had once meant so much before fading away into insignificance. Promises we know we cannot keep. We say the words not realizing that a heart’s vow, in a moment like this, is the only god we believe in. I merely want to understand; not life, for that is beyond reach, but how to live without stumbling on the way, incessantly.
