People who are in love, going to be in love or maybe not in love read this and ponder bout it.This story tells us something about..... LOVE & LIFE.
My husband is an engineer by profession. I love him for
his steady nature and... I love the warm feeling when I
lean against his broad shoulders.
Two years of courtship and now, five years into marriage,
I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The
reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into
the cause of all my restlessness.
I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it
comes to a relationship and my feelings. I yearn for the
romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy.
My husband is my complete opposite; his lack of
sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic
moments into our marriage has disheartened me about LOVE.
One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that
I wanted a divorce.
'Why?' he asked, shocked.
'I am tired. There are no reasons for everything in the
world!' I answered.
He kept silent the whole night, seemingly in deep
thought. My feeling of disappointment only increased.
Here was a man who was not able to even express his
predicament, so what else could I expect from him?
And finally he asked me: 'What can I do to change your
mind?'
Somebody said it right... It's hard to change a person's
personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in
him.
Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered: 'Here is
the question.... If you can answer and convince my heart,
I will change my mind.'
Let's say; I want a flower located on the face of a
mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the
flower will cause your death. Will you do it for me?'
He said: 'I will give you your answer tomorrow.... '
My hopes just sank by listening to his response.
I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a
piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting underneath a
milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that
goes....
My dear,
'I would not pick that flower for you, but .... please
allow me to explain the reasons further..... '
This first line was already breaking my heart. I
continued reading.
'When you use the computer you always mess up the
Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen. I
have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the
programs. You always leave the house keys behind, thus I
have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for
you.
You love travelling but always lose your way in a new
city. I have to save my eyes to show you the way.
You always have the cramps whenever your 'good friend'
approaches every month. I have to save my palms so that I
can calm the cramps in your tummy.
You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be
infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to
tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.
You always stare at the computer, and that will do
nothing good for your eyes. I have to save my eyes so
that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails and
help to remove those annoying white hairs.
So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the
beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful
sand...and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the
colour of the glow on your young face...
Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who
loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower
yet, and die ... '
My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his
handwriting ... and as I continue reading... 'Now, that
you have finished reading my answer, and if you are
satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing
outside bringing your favourite bread and fresh milk...'
I rushed to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face,
clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and
loaf of bread....
Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much
as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower
alone...
That's LIFE, and LOVE.
When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement
fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that
lies in between the peace and dullness.
Love shows up in all forms; even in very small and cheeky
forms. It has never been a model. It could be the dullest
and most boring form ...
Flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on
the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the
pillar of true love stands ... AND THAT'S LIFE
The happiest people in the world.... are not those who
have no problems, but those who learn to live with things
that are less than perfect.
LOVE is not just between two lovers, husband and wife--it
also encompasses mother, father and siblings, sisters and
brothers, friends and neighbours.
Ain't the story touching? Sometimes in life, we perceived love as an excitement until we've forgotten and neglected the smallest things that our loved on do for us just to make our lives easier and happier. In away, if you think back about your relationship, didn't it sparkled from the smallest thing that he/she does? but at that time you thought so highly of it? Yup .. glance back and look at how u fell in love with your partner, if not even look at how your family treats you? And hope may this article create some sense of realization in us that we're not actually alone, there's love .. EVERYWHERE you just don't see it with your eyes for it can only be seen with your HEART >.<*HEART YOU ALL LOTZ!!>
