Love Is All About Understanding

Believe me, love is not perfect. That is why you have to make love perfect for it to work. Each lover is not also perfect, so the term "understanding" fits the scene. I am amazed to find people who views love as a  "happy ending". But no, it is not true. Love is a constant vow to understand the person you loved. Without understanding. love hardly thrive in a world like this-full of trials, surprises, temptations, and lies.

I remember a friend Daniel who married a stranger instead of his childhood sweetheart. Although the girl thought it was a heartless move, she tried to move on and find sometime who is true to her. Another person believes that his family is the "thing" that matters. Without his wife and son, he thinks he cannot survive in this world. What made them last for long? Understanding. He told me about that. It's simple, but true.

One Summer Afternoon

That summer afternoon, there was a huge shift in my life. I always wanted to live a life with you. But, fate is sometimes funny. Unreliable as it is, I lost everything I had because you wanted to take your nod with destiny. That was my destiny. You told me to take a safer road but not with you. I said, "it's not possible". But later on, I realized that it is feasible. Why? I will have the chance to revise my dreams. I will have the chance to dream bigger things. It was like saying, "then, try to live life without my shadow". From then on, I tried and tried to shape a life that is fair. Fair enough that I have to start from step one.

One summer afternoon, I realized that you are right. At this time, that safer road that you said is visible. I have someone by my side who loves God more than me but loves me more than anything else. Isn't it lovely? This new life is a reflection of how you wanted me to get out of that "fateful" dream. So, the days of talking about strange things are over. We take our separate roads already. I think I am fine now. But how about you? Did you find that safer road that you deserve? Admittedly, I cried when I finally turn to leave you. But this time, I was amazed on how things turn out to be. Indeed, this is a safer road. With this summer afternoon, life is already fair.
