There is only one happiness in life, to love and to be loved. - George Sand -

Couples seen holding hands, whispering away as the soft giggle follows...as I watched with envy. Is this the way you have chosen? Far and away from the one you love.

Every time spends together is so short ...here comes the weekend that I have been long waiting for. Meeting him finally, with the empty heart filled and energised for the moment. Holding his hands with full of warmth, it just lifts you up into the sky as though an angel has grant you their wings to fly. As we stroll along the walkway with all envy eyes on us, enjoying the hours which seems like minute. As the clock ticking, days are counted, finally the morning that you wake up and he has to leave for the land that you have chosen to stay away. The painful kiss goodbye.....and looking on to the weekend you will be spending again.

At times, you don't cherish the love around you till it is gone or no longer in your hand. Through trust, faith and full determination, you kept this love strong not allowing any space to step in between us. As you waited for the phone, the assurance of love through the cold technology, through emails which can't be filled with emotions and feelings but just plain text. You are always hoping for the moment you can just take off the mask of independence from your face and be the pampered kittens.

Why? Why all this? When you can just be by his side enjoy the everlasting moment. Is it true that you have to give up something to get other things? Soon the faith and determinations are tired, here comes the depression making you cry yourself to sleep. The tiredness of being strong was untold, the loneliness was not seen. We have our doubts when the wall which will be cracking slowly, bits by bits collapse.

As the morning comes, the sun shines, the birds chirping. You have forgotten again the loneliness and braising yourself through the corporate world, work and work. Putting on your chirpy and determination mask, telling yourself the thunderstorm has passed. Let’s look forward for another day of spring. You may lie to the world but the emptiness in your heart will always be there and not going away. You are trying to find comfort in pain.....
