The lost heart

by purangkay
There was a heart, a happy traveling heart. Everyday the heart travel and travel and travel. It travels for happiness. The heart doesn't gets tired. Until oneday, the heart felt tired. It felt heavier than usual. The heart wanted to rest but doesn't know where. It started to long for something that the heart could hold on to...a home. The next day, the heart started searching...

The heart saw a butterfly flying around a flower, a beautiful butterfly. They became friends. Then oneday the heart asked, "Can you take me and hold me like I am part of you? I want to feel how it is like to fly with someone. The butterfly said "Yes, I always fly around and I need a companion". The heart was happy because it doesn't have to be alone. Until oneday, the butterfly wanted to fly as far as it could but the heart can't. So the butterfly left the heart. The heart felt sad, heavy and alone. But despite that feeling, the heart continue its journey.

Oneday, the heart went near the ocean. And the heart met a fish. They talk. Became friends. The heart thought that maybe because the fish can't fly, it will never leave. So the heart gave itself to the fish. The fish was happy at the moment, it found something new. Something different. The fish thought that it never be alone again. Until oneday, the fish realized the heart can't swim for too long. And the fish needs something that can stay into the water, something to be with forever. The heart can't. So the fish left. And again, the heart doesn't have a choice but to move on...and go on.

Everything seems fine with the heart for awhile as it continue the journey of finding a home. But oneday, the heart saw a goose. The goose seems troubled and looks so sad. It swims and fly at the same time. The heart asked: "Why are you so sad?" The goose just looked at the heart, moved its head away and started flying and swimming again. The heart felt that the goose needed help. So the heart did everything to help the goose. Until the heart drown itself to where most men fell...love. The heart even forgot its own happiness because it cared too much to the goose. The heart isn't just lost, it became selfless. But love isn't enough to save the goose. The goose wasn't contented. It wanted more than the heart could give. The heart felt sad, the home that the heart thought it found isn't really a home. But a temporary shelter. A temporary happiness. So the heart turn and walk away. Slowly, walked away slowly. Until it could no longer be seen.
