Take sometime to read this, you will understand
what is love...
Sometimes we are blind to see the goodness of our spouses and deaf to hear
their kind words for us. A nice story to share......
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. Three
years of courtship and now, two 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, seems to be in deep thought with a lighted
cigarette at all times. My feeling of disappointment only increased, here
was a man who can't even express his predicament, what else can I hope 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 traveling 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 color of flowers, just like the color 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 on reading...
"Now, that you have finished reading my answer, if you are satisfied, please
open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread
and fresh milk...
I rush 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 very small and cheeky forms, it has never
been a model, it could be the dullest and 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
our life... Love, not words win arguments...
