Pensive

It all felt so very familiar.

"I'm waiting...I am still waiting." Those were the words that echoed in my mind while I stood at the courtyard. I looked at the faces around me and wondered if those words would have the same effect if I were to use them again. Perhaps, they would have lost their magic. Things would never be the same, I guess. Afterall, change is the only constant thing in this world.

I looked at my kids and I realised how much they have grown. I'm glad we still have things to talk about. I hope it stays this way for many years to come. And even if we do lose each other along the way, I hope they would remember there was once upon a time, an unreasonable, harsh and unsympathetic tyrant who used to rule the Ong empire. =)
