"Hitch"

(A guy jumped on top of a girl's car. The girl hit the break and the guy fell in front of the car. The girl get off the car and asked the guy..)

GIRL: Why did you do that?

GUY: Because that's what people do.. they leap and hope to die they can fly because if they don't they will just be like rocks falling.. wondering on their way down why the hell they jumped. Now, here I am falling and there is only one person that can make me feel I can fly.. YOU!

(The girl burst into tears then hugs the guy. Happy ending.)

Very brave guy, right? Willing to take chances even in the middle of uncertainties. But what if the girl turn her back, ride the car and drive away? Does that make the guy stupid? Is he a failure? Should he continue to fight for this girl and wait for her to be ready to accept him again? Or he should move on and accept the fact that the girl loves her but too scared to take him into her life?

Somewhere along the highway called love, so many people will pass us by. Some will step on their break and spend some time with us. Others who are lost will stop to ask us directions. A few can also stop us and ask if they can hitch. And one or two might invite us to step inside their car, let us feel welcome and make every single moment of the ride memorable for us. Some will keep travelling with us and others will continue their journey without us. But whether they stay or leave, we should be thankful. Be thankful that amongst thousands of cars that passed by they stopped. They cared to build memories with us, trusted us to guide them and took a once in a lifetime ride with us. Leaving us doesn't mean they don't enjoy our company or they don't need us. Probably, they just found a better road or a faster route to take. Let them take the road of their choice but make sure you don't part ways with anyone on an unfinished road or you'll be the one left lost.
