May I have this dance





Relationship is something that you can't develop with anyone you like. It is a gift that sometimes comes from the most unusual source. And when it happens you would have to nurture it, and it takes more than just a person. It takes two to make it works into something meaningful.

It is quite a bizarre experience to be able to connect to a stranger within a short space of time. The thing that bond this two people together can be in forms of shared joyful event or a painful episodes in their yesteryear.

This connection can also be developed into something more wonderful. However as life would has it, not all things are meant to be the way we sometime want them to be. Maybe if we found that person years earlier - it may have work fine and dandy But fate has it that person met someone else first, and we're just a little bit too late. Which somehow creates a sticky situation.

With that in mind I wanna share with you one of my favourite film scene.

Like Frank in this clip, given that he's not blind and he met Donna years earlier than Michael, perhaps they can be more than just a dance-partner (Sorry Charlie, you're still a baby). Because I can sense the chemistry in them. How they trust each other in creating their moves, the way their body react to each other. But circumstances has it that their magical moments last only in that short evening.

On the other hand, I would like to believe that we could extrapolate this metaphor beyond the dance floor, to dance to this life like how we tango.

"...If you made a mistake, you got all tangled up you just tangle on!"

Let's toast to life.

Life is so much easy if we could turn back the clock and if we could choose whom we want to meet first or later. But where's the challenge to it?

God made us made few wrong turns before we reach our destination for a reason or reasons. And those reasons somewhat have made us what we are today.

Cheers!!!

Andrea: Thank you, you're never short of compliments. Life is never perfect, and it is short, but people can always make it beautiful.

DwD: Well said. Btw, none of what I wrote in the post is in any kind of resentment. It's merely my awareness of reality.

I'll take that as an advise. However, I believe that love does not need a good list of words of wisdom to make things going. Just let the world do her thing even though I know I am not supposed to say this because everybody knows that I am man with a small brain to comprehend every single thing about relationship.

How about ya doc?

SPD: It was never meant to be an advice. Just a thought. So you don't dance.

Cinta: Be careful of what you wish for. Btw, taman rama-rama may have what you looking for :D
