To the Guy Behind the Camera

Random shots. Okay I want this place. Oh that was good. I love it! God! This is awesome. Thank God I brought my camera. But at the end of the day all he heard was "That's no talent". I was terribly in love. The vision he saw when he looks at me. That random click he gave me and made me feel like I was the only thing he will look at forever. The way he focused himself on me. Oh God, the light he shoot when he said "You're beautiful" And later that day, he'll stay as long as he wants because he can't resist you. He's good. Many people likes to be photographed by him. Sometimes I feel jealous by how people show their admiration to him. It's as if they've got their own camera and focus the lens on him. But not everyone is pleased in his appearance. Some see him as a threat. And they shot him many times in his back. But, he's nice. He never used his talent to destroy them. Still light shower him when he walks in front of people. One rainy day, he run after me. I was in the middle of the rain, smiling and looking at him. He still flashes that smile even on rainy days. Oh jeez. He's really good. How could a man be this great without even trying so hard? And then there was this tragic day when I saw him sitting on a bench. I talk to him. He told me some of his problems. I got carried away and cry. I whispered to him, "You're very good and oh so talented" But he refused to listen... He took the camera away from his hands and left it beside me and he left. He left. And I never saw him again. It was the most painful thing I felt. How can people let someone down even if they know that someone is really good? And now here I am. Stuck in the highest peak of the world. There's no "him" who will take his camera out and focus his lens to me. There is no "him" who looks at me like I'm the most beautiful thing in the world. There's no "him" who will stay outside even on rainy days just to take pictures of me. And there's no "him" who will say "Mother nature, YOU ARE THE BEST". Don't bring people down just because they're above you. We are different from one another, you might not have the talent he/she possesses but always remember that you have you're own skill because God made us all unique. And if one day everyone might say you're no good, always remember there's someone above whose extremely proud of you. Love, Mother nature.
