even after my apology

i was disappointed but not surprised when you forgot my birthday;
i won't take the blame this time. i apologized enough, i tried enough. 
truth be told, i have come to loathe your traits
your arrogance, and your demeanor so rough. 
i don't want to be your friend
because you weren't one to me
even after my apology. 
So go your way, 
and let me go mine,
i will remember you as someone 
who used to be nice.

seasons come and go, what stays?

Some days are sunny, golden rays bouncing off the skin, tiny particles reflecting light. A golden Tyndall effect. On other days, the rain falls persistently on the window, persistently, passionately, and a few drops make it under the window sill. Those resilient drops did what  I am doing now. 

Tell me what the problem is and I will do what I can to fix it. You are, like the golden rays, what brings the shimmer to my life. A dim screen of constant work, learning, and solitude, you bring color, passion, and warmth. Tell me what upset you, let me work on it. I will try to see your perspective and understand you, I will bring change. There shall be no blocks, only challenges to overcome.

If it takes me 10 tries, I will do it. Even if it takes me 20 tries, or 30, or 50. I want to build something eternal. A few tries is nothing for what we can build. An immortal life of trust, loyalty, and love. 

Some days are sunny, some days are rainy. That's just how life is. You can hate it, or you can embrace it. Persistence is what is key.
