I’m not talking about the Taiwanese boy band’s song…
Today is Makati Day and the fireworks display coming from all the Barangays around the City is ongoing as I write. There was a time that I couldn’t bear to watch the beautiful display of mankind’s ingenuity and terrible way of wasting a huge amount of money. That was when my ex & I broke up. The break up was not tragic at all…we both decided to move on since it’s never going to work between the two of us.
Now where do the fireworks fit in to my little trip down memory lane? I love fireworks…I love watching the beautiful lights it creates up in the night sky. When I was younger I used to dream of watching that beauty under a starry sky with the one I love…he (my ex) made my wish come true. Wrapped around his loving arms I enjoyed the beauty of that moment…a moment that I thought would last forever…time made me realize how foolish that was.
After a couple of years later…here I am standing alone under the starry night sky watching the spectacular fireworks display with a smile on my face. I’m not smiling because I’m doing well and I heard that he’s not.
I’m smiling because I am able to enjoy the beauty of fireworks once again…minus the tears, sad and painful memories... …smiling because I have found a new set of friends, people I could talk to… …watching the fireworks, thinking of someone else…someone who brings a new reason for me to smile… (Though he could really make me sad sometimes)
Come to think of it…my ex & I watched the fireworks on the same night just a couple of years back…
