“Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can’t control, one that overwhelm logic and common sense. That’s what it was like for me. I didn’t plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling gin love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once, and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I’ll never forget a single moment of it.”
A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now.

“We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.”

I met you by the end of the tunnel. It was your back I recognised first. The weather was as gloomy as my heart. I looked at you and was captivated by the eyes. I sucked and swirled into the passage inside. It was breezy. The comfort, the light, the landscape are all new to me. I was there, inside your eyes. Seeing the world through your eyes. And it wasn’t the world I know. The world you see is honest, modest and simple. Ever since that day, your eyes is the only hiding place I seek.
