So... This is HEARTACHE... T_T (Ulog Day 71)

in #ulog6 years ago



According to Cambridge Dictionary, the word "heartache" refers to the feelings of great sadness. It's usually caused by the loss or absence of someone that you love.

Whenever I hear the word "heartache", what comes to mind is the song performed by a Japanese Rock band called One OK Rock.

The video above is my favorite version of the song. The vocalist, Taka, can really bring out the heartache in his voice. It's so soulful that simply listening to it, you'll find your heart squeezing itself. It's as if there's something trying to tie it... tightening with every word and melody.

This song, especially this version, is one of my favorites and I really love listening to it again and again. It's crazy how I love to torture myself. Well, this is a nice kind of torture anyway.

Does time really take away the pain that we feel inside? Somehow, I doubt that idea. Time couldn't heal wounds. Maybe, it'll lessen the pain because you'll eventually forget the feeling. However, if the feeling's too strong... even time cannot do anything about it.

Why didn’t I realize? Why did I tell lies?
Yeah I wish that I could do it again

This part of the song is oozing with regret. It's sometimes too late to realize something of grave importance. Mostly, realization comes when it's all over... when it's all gone.

I don't want to regret anything, but sometimes there's nothing you can't do. Although you really want to do something but it's like every circumstance is just against you. It's heart tightening, you know? Ahh~ so this is heartache, indeed.

It's when you have to give up on something really important for you because your own dream isn't your priority... because you're torn between your responsibilities and your "selfishness".

I once asked my friend, "Can I escape?" and he told me, "Of course, you can." Well, that's true. I can... but I won't. I think I'm getting used to this heartache. I'm still hoping that someday, I'll be able to fly freely and do something for myself. I'm still hoping that someday, the very thing that's squeezing my heart will loosen itself and make it beat normally.

Yes, this is heartache... but I'll embrace this heartache and continue living with it until it's fed up of me and finally leave on its own accord.
