A Sunset Story

     It was a Thursday, but seeing the throngs of people strolling along the restaurant row, you’d think it was another holiday weekend.  Among the crowd, a guy and girl were walking hand in hand.  They were seemingly wrapped up in their own world; whispering softly while people were chattering gaily, walking unhurriedly while others were bustling about.  I wondered what it was that’s so special about this particular couple that caught my eye; maybe it was the way they looked at each other, as if they were the only two people in the world… or maybe it was the way they kept their hands joined while waltzing about to avoid crashing into people, as if letting go was the last thing on their minds… or maybe it was the impression they gave off, as if there were no two people happier and more at peace than they were.

In Your Eyes

     You do more than complete me.  With you, I have far more than everything I’ve ever hoped to have.  Your love fills me with so much joy that I feel as if my heart is constantly overflowing with emotion.

A glimpse of the year that was…

     Another year is coming to a close.  Somehow, it brings a touch of melancholy to close a chapter that has been fraught with so much learnings and realizations.  The year 2007 taught me that hardships build character… that friendships can sometimes be found in the unlikeliest places… that while growing old is mandatory, growing up is a choice… that the most important things in life are usually the little things that we tend to overlook… that sometimes, what we’re looking for is right before our eyes… that God has a perfect time, place, person, and reason for everything… and that even the deepest pain can be healed by the truest love…

     “Contrary to what the cynics say, distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold. It’s for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It’s for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don’t see it nearly enough…”

- Oprah Winfrey

A million love songs…

 

     “Each song you sing to me echoes in my soul… so much so that your voice permeates my entire being… suffusing me in a whirl of wonderful colors…”

- excerpt from a letter To My Angel

Through the Rain

     My heart is filled with unspoken emotions… Try as I may, words would never be enough to say what I truly feel. Your love suffuses me with such joy that I feel as if my heart is constantly pervaded with echoes of your name … as if my soul is so light that I could just fly away, cushioned in endless bliss. Ironically, ours is a love that has been perfected through pain… elation that is found even through the rain…

For all the songs I didn’t sing…

For all the songs I didn’t sing
     For all the sorrow that you did bring…
For all the tears that I have cried
     For all the times you’ve ran and lied…

     I was pleasantly surprised to see that Anna tagged me at Miss Woobie’s request.  I skimmed over the instructions and I had quite a nice time leafing through my archives and reliving past memories.

If you would rather…

     This is one of those times when even I could not understand myself.  I am happy and content.  While there may be challenges every now and then, I still feel that I am blessed.  I have a wonderful family, a great job, and a perfect relationship.  But just when I decided to pen out my thoughts of thanks for James, I found myself writing a poem that is so overflowing with despair.  And while its contents may not be the reflection of my emotions right now, I would nonetheless like to share this with everyone.  If you would rather…

 

Perfection beyond Imagination

 

     Even the simplest things acquire the most meaningful nuances when shared with someone who is capable of touching not just your heart or your soul, but the entire essence of your being.  Today, despite busy schedules and crazy shifts, James and I were finally able to see each other again after two gruelling weeks of work and training.  While I may have been touched by melancholy for the most part of the week, every single strand of sadness seemingly faded away the moment I was able to see him again…
