This is a story about two people who loves each other and tried going against the odds. Some would think they lost while some would think they won. I felt they won in the end because they lived a love that many of us will never ever experience in a lifetime. They will forever carry with them the courage they once had.
The story goes like that......boy and girl dated. Girl is critically ill. Boy never walked away but instead stood by her even though she is wilting away by the second. Boy and girl got married. On their wedding day, she was very sick and fragile but she was so, so beautiful. They laughed, they held each other in their arms, they looked into each other's eyes and they made a vow that they will stay together till death do they part. Girl was very sick and exhausted but she used every little strength she had to go through the wedding as she knows that this could be the last bit of the memories she might ever had. Five days after the wedding, she passed away. But we know that she went with a smile on her face as she has lived life to the fullest. As for him - no one really knows what happened to him after that but we all do know that he is truly a strong man.
Their story is simple yet it touched me in ways that I can never imagine. It got me thinking how a simple thing called Love can lead to such great acts between two people.
I have seen people come together then at the snap of the fingers, they turned their heads and walked in opposite directions. How many of us have truly loved someone that deeply and stayed even when everything is against the odds? In our society today - with temptations everywhere; with technology expressing our emotions when breaking up; with divorces causing just five thousand bucks to end everything - how many of us still value Love?
Think about this : If you are the Boy, would you have the courage to stay through sickness and death with your partner? If you are the Girl, would you have the strength to go through such a strenuous wedding party as it might just kill you there and then? If you are either of them, would you have the courage to go through everything knowing that all these will be taken away in a matter of a few days?
It's depressing ain't it? While some of us are taking everything for granted, there are some who cherishes every single second of what they have.
I am telling this story in a very "retard" way as I do not have the patience to copy every single text and photo over from the email then slowly format it to fit my blog. But with a little imagination, I hope you can feel the story I am trying to tell. If you have a moment, maybe take a few minutes out and think of what you can do in your current relationship (for some it's next relationship) and ask yourself what you can give to your partner.
After you have done your thinking and if you have a partner, I hope when your eyes land on him/ her the next time, you look at him/ her in a different way (imagine the smoky background, sparks above the head, wind blowing in the hair look) because it's time to stop being selfish and start giving the other person a little bit more.
And if like me, you are still single, I hope you will meet your one true love someday and like the leads in the story, you will have a love this great. Because you deserve it no matter what you have been through. (Why do I feel like I am telling myself that I deserve it? Haha!)
PS : You know who you are. Stop laughing at me! I am not writing this because I seem to have meet someone. I can show you the email from my friend. You will cry after reading that.
PPS : One more time you laugh at me just because I am texting and smiling to myself in the office - I am so going to walk over to your desk and bite you. And you better stop telling everyone I am like a schoolgirl who is falling head over heels in love again. Because I am not in a school uniform. If you want to see something kinky, book a room in a six star hotel and make a date with me after work. Bleah!
