无奈 - 一个蒲公英和毛毛虫的故事

*I was googling on what is 蒲公英 in English and it returns Dandelion (hope this is correct) ..

*****************************************************

A caterpillar met a Dandelion and they fell in love with each other.

They lived happily together until one day, the caterpillar transformed into a cocoon. The Dandelion became lonely and got distracted by the wind. It then decided to follow the wind and left the caterpillar. Finally when the caterpillar came out from its coccon and evoled into a Buttefly.

Caterpillar wanted to tell Dandelion that it has become more beautiful for him. But no where, can Caterpillar find Dandelion. It waits for Dandelion on its stem. Time passed, but Dandelion never returns...

I was attracted by the song initially because of the lyrics. It was later after I have watched the music video that i realize how nicely it has integrated the story of the caterpillar into it. Basically it tells a similar stroy of a girl who couldn't be with a guy when he needed her. Then he found another her. The songs keep repeating that "I am not upset" well in a way it seems it is saying that in a positive manner that maybe this is a relief for both, since you no longer love me, might as well end it. But somehow listening to it over and over again, I had another feeling that it was more like saying something defiant. Especially when it says "I am not sad, but I dun understand why my tears keep falling..." So?

Not all story are alike, but basically it is about how one person is not able to satisfied what the other wants. And it leads to the end of a relationship. From this point of view, practically you can relate to any couple that break up. Who's fault it is then.. the reason I have put the title as 无奈 is I truly feel, soemtimes, you just cannot blame anyone, rather why fate has not done a better job in matching people. I feel truly helpless, I tried to be someone who you like, but still I am not good enough. Yet, I know you won't feel happy living with someone not up to your expectation. Neither you nor I am wrong or to be blamed. Probably just one might be more upset than the other, but it is really no one's fault.

I wanted to write something like this yesterday. But I allow myself to be spoilt in my own blog, to not care about how other feel and say whatever I really feel. Though it is without much EQ... but then again, it's my blog.

Caterpillar chooses to become more beautiful for Dandellion, however, it never thought that for that, Dandellion would not be able to stand the loneliness while it is not there for him and decided to go with Wind who appeared at the right place at the right time. Dandelion doesn't know where Catterpillar is and decided to grab Wind who is there for him.

I cannot be who you like, just like Caterpillar cannot be with Dandelion when he needed him most. we tried, but we really couldn't help it.

我已经尽我所能，做一个我觉得你会喜欢的人 但最后仍然不能在一起。我很难过，真的很难过，但也真的很无奈。
