Chemistry

I was on my way home, thinking of.. Stuff :P

I was a bit in a confusion, so I WhatsApp this one friend, and suddenly she's mentioning about chemistry.

LOL.

Long time never heard this term.

I mean, not the Chemistry you learn on high school, mixing color liquids and atoms and all that things.

This one happens between people which are not necessarily from two opposite genders.

I'm really sure that you feel this 'chemistry' thingy before.

Some experience it more that once. Some others could be more than a dozen times.

Let say, you meet someone and after 5 minutes of talking, you find yourself telling stories you never tell anyone else.

Or when you realize that you two have lots of things in common. Like hobbies, educational background, hometown, habits, or even trivial things like favorite brand of clothing, favorite movies, actors/actress you like best.

Out of curiosity, I Googled it.

Apparently, some people feel this 'chemistry' instantly.

You find your 'long-lost friend' quality in a stranger you've just met.

But most others feel this after quite long time.

You both meet and talk. Then meet and talk some more.

Gradually you both built a bridge that connecting two worlds, yours and him/hers.

And that, you can call that a chemistry as well.

Instantaneously or little by little, either way, chemistry can grow.

Just like nurturing a pot of lilies, spending times, sharing stories, open up yourself to one another are necessary to maintain and build this chemistry.

Because, you see, people are complicated.

They are not as easy to read as a piece of daily newspaper.

They have past. History and stories.

They dream of things you never thought they could be dreaming of.

Their hopes, their fears, their needs.

And you know why it's important to keep in touch, moreover, to care a bit more?

Because people change. And they will keep changing.

From time to time, they are facing new challenges, crossroads to be chosen, decisions to be made.

Simply said, people consists of layers.

Just like... An onion :P

One more thing...

I think many people are confusing chemistry with love.

I mean sometimes you can be very close to one person, share things that you never shared to other.

The funny thing is, you take one step back and you realize : 

That actually, nothing is really in common between you two.

You feel like you both were.. Just different.

Made from different material.

For different purpose.

Different time, places, and destiny.

Well, I'm not really sure about the destiny part since this one is His territory. LOL

Maybe you think you're in love.

But I think it's just.. Well.. Chemistry.

Because for me, love is not reckless.

Love cares. And more than cares, it understands.

It's not selfish, and doesn't take advantage.

It encompass any boundaries between two very different people,

because without the other, world just doesn't make sense. 

So, here's an old song for you.

Hmm.. I don't get what this guy doing, sleeping on the ground,

in front of escalators and in the middle of the road some more. LOL.

But I understand.. If sometimes you're tempted to chase cars, lay on the ground,

lie with one particular person and just forget the world.

Tempted to forget what I was told before I get too old.

But trust me..

The thing about temptation is.. It never ends well. For anyone.

So I just keep on trusting the One who could show me (according to Snow Patrol LOL) the garden that bursting into life.
