Is It All Gone?

It is heartbreaking to see my sand castle falling. But it is not a simple sand castle because I built it for years. It had a very happy beginning. Built on a good foundation.

There were storms and earthquakes but none of it made our castle fall. No matter how hard they shake, it still stands still.

There are moments when the castle remains still and unattended. But still, it remains standing.

All these years, I am very confident that the castle we built will remain strong. Yet, today, I realized that I was wrong because I forgot what it was made of. It was merely made of sand.

Sand will crumble. Sand will fall. Sand will wither. And so is our castle.

I was so confident with its good foundation that I forgot to decorate it. I overlooked cleaning it so it will remain beautiful and grand.

All I could do now is stare at the castle with tears falling down my cheeks. Will it ever be the same again? Can I still rebuild it with the same glory? Can I still build a castle with you again?

But I can't seem to figure out how to start over again. I don't even know how I could ask you to help me work on it again. Will you stay and happily help me build a castle?

I am not sure if you'll agree. But there is still a little hope left for me.

Because as I cry with silent tears and I growl in pain, I can still feel that there is a part of you that wants to stay with me. I know you will if you stop looking around and if you focus in our castle.

Do you still have the heart to do that?
