have u noticed how beautiful the night really is? my favourite part of the day has got 2 be the night (u get wat i mean), cuz thats when i get home from a tiring day at skul and training, and thats when i get 2 rest, chill out, relax and all that stuff (among which is hw, but right now hw aint on my list)... yeah i kinda like the night (partly oso cuz thats the only time of the day i'm home, at 1 point in time the only sky i see from my bedroom window is black, morning b4 the sun rises and night when i get home from training), but night-time is always so short, the next thing u know ur back in skul trying not 2 suffocate from all that work... beautiful things nvr last, juz as night does... partly why the night is so short is cuz we sleep (yes, 4 some of u out there in another far away galaxy, we DO sleep... humans sleep, unlike those of u who close ur eyes at night 4 less than 3-5 hrs every night, no offence), be it a neccessity or a desire... yes, we lose the beautiful night 2 sleep, about 5-8 hours (less or more) every time... maybe thats why good things always seem so short, we never really get enuff time 2 fully appreciate or enjoy the finer things in life... we sleep (whether its juz plain human or whether its by choice), and when we sleep we dream (at least most of us)... when we dream anything could happen, and sometimes we escape 2 these dreams, run away from the real world, when we dun want 2 face reality anymore... and when we escape in2 these dreams, we lose our reality, we lose the beautiful night, we lose the world... i'm not saying that dreams are bad or that we shouldnt sleep, but sometimes in life, we lose things that are real 2 us, that we should appreciate, through choice or human nature, and we think that we have found true happiness in our "dream world"... beautiful things nvr last, we lose something everyday, we lose our beautiful night 2 our sleep, 2 our dreams (ironic?)... we give up and sacrifice wat may not seem important 2 us in our lives, juz 2 chase our dreams, our "better future", a better life where anything could happen... a life that may not exist... we make choices in life, we may nvr see the beauty in something until its gone, when u have given that away in search 4 something ur hoping 2 find... when we wake up from our dreams, another day has begun, and life seems 2 start anew... everyday is a new day, when life starts over and gives u another shot at it, when u probably didnt manage 2 the day b4... but when the night comes around, when "life" so called settles down, izzit ever going 2 be the same as the night b4? yes we sleep and all that stuff, but is the beauty still going 2 be around juz waiting 4 u 2 discover it? there may only ever be 1 night juz like this, 1 night in all of its glamour and splendor, only 1 night like this... no1 really ever notices how beautiful the night sky can be (i admit, not even me), most of us juz worry about how much hw we have left 2 rush, how much sleep we're gonna get, or maybe even the score 4 the world cup game later that night... night is juz another passing phase of time, we give it up and we lose it... maybe thats how life works... maybe beautiful things were never meant to last, not something as beautiful as this...
