AN ODE TO AN AVID EDITOR'S LOVE

I jumped from one shot to the other...
You put some smooth transitions in between them.

I observed it was too dark...
You put colour effect on it.

I complained green wasn't my colour...
You changed the hue for me.

I sat for long and just kept silent and sad...
You trimmed those moments for me.

I felt everything was moving too fast...
You slowed the motion for me.

I sulked at the sight of few people..
You replaced their shots with new.

I feared I would forget it all...
You pressed ctrl+s and rendered them all for me.

I wished I could live this moment again...
You sent the moment to playback for me.

I hoped we'd always be together...
You archived us and stored us for me.

I never said it nor did you... but we knew...
We loved each other so true...


*Dedicated to video editing... one of the things I really enjoyed doing in life... and perhaps we'll do in future too!

WITH YOU... WITHOUT YOU...

Just trying to remember... where it all began...
trying to remember where I let go...
trying to remember where you let go...

Just trying to figure out... where do I stand now...
trying to figure out if I can still feel the same...
trying to figure out if you are no more with me now...

Just trying to sort it out... where are the pieces of me..
trying to trace all that I left behind somewhere...
trying to trace all that could have been done...

Is it okay to feel it's okay when you are not?
Is it okay to sometimes fear losing all that you hold dear?
Is it okay to feel maybe it may not last at all?
Is it okay if I feel I still love you... even if you are no more?

I hope it's okay... to miss you... to cry a while sometimes..
I hope it's okay... to wish you were here... to be mad at you sometimes...

I wonder if it could be the same all over again..
I get back to my life and you are blessed eternally...

Is it wisdom or is it failure to understand life, when I dream of living a life I lived with you without your presence in it?

Is it how it is suppose to be? To move on yet carry some part of me that was in you.. those parts that made me, ME...

Is it how it is meant to be? To walk ahead.. to look back.. to still hope and love... to still believe..to still live...
