Pain

Pain. It creeps into you, lingering, clinging, overshadowing.

It renders you helpless. You feel lost and cold.

Your tears well up in your eyes, over and over.

You want no part of the world.

Pain consumes.

The phone rings and you put on the bravest brightest smile. That facade.

What's wrong, they say? Why does your voice sound different

You tell them you're on leave today and just woke up.

They apologize, make it quick.

You're on leave.

Tears sting your eyes as you give in to pain.

Alone time.

The phone rings. The process commences all over again. You numbly regurgitate.

Pride, Pressure, Pain. They seem get along.

I want no part of it.

Not anymore.

je t'aime

I almost cried as tears welled up in my eyes. I blinked profusely to diffuse the notion of crying.

I love weddings. I cannot help but get overwhelmed by the beauty of watching the groom's face light up with love as the breath-taking beautiful bride walks down the isle with her beaming father.

Love.

The delicate phenomena of union between man and wife

Love.

The everlasting promise of God.

Love.

The secret formula to overcoming the good and the bad.

Love.

The reminder to bask in life and embrace the ones that hold you dear.

:)

Congratulations Dino and Marion. You've embarked on a new journey of love-filled life as one.

Thank you for sharing that beautiful moment with me.
