A Day of Love

There are moments when love is so under-rated, unrepresented and even over-rated. That’s because you have never been in true love, or you simply do not know what it means to love. Love is committing to that person you know complete you in every way. Love does not require constant contact, in person or via text, to feel secure. It means trusting that one in every way possible and earning their reciprocal trust in you. Love means loving yourself, too. Then you wonder, how do I know that I am loved too? That person is not only sympathetic toward you but also empathetic, your happiness is their happiness, and your pain is their pain. Someone in love with you will care about your feelings and your well-being and communicates their best and worst version of who they are. I am sure I was in love with her. She is a beautiful woman with a distinctive personality; she laughs at anything, including herself, and she is especially kind, caring and passionate to others and the improvement of their life. She is a woman who inexplicably make me feel really good just by being around her, and she brings great sadness when she is gone. At 19-year-old in university , I am caught up in an unconventional love with a successful married woman who is a Minister of Government. It was a heavenly spiritual feeling. All my life I have been told and taught that love and relationship is between a man and a woman, yet I am at a place where I feel love in my belly for a woman I idolized and one who believes in my every dream and passion. It was like destiny. The first time we met, she impromptu came 3000 miles to support my first event as a young professional. Seeing her in person for the very first time is like seeing the face of God, the television did not do her any justice. She was hands-down the most gorgeous soul. When she smiles her beauty becomes indescribable. For a woman her statue and background, one who feel she is conceited. Her demeanor was self -effacing, gracious and polite. Who dare to say there aren’t angels among men? We were in matching outfit, it certainly must have been destiny, our passions are synchronous. Yet our method of fulfilling our passions are so different. We make an incredible team. We both love a good challenge and we believe; though different methods, the objective is the same. But she seems happily married with 3 beautiful kids who means the absolute world to her, she would not ask for more. Furthermore, her principles make it impossible for Suan to have her ‘destined love’. Suan too, must struggle with the thought that her first time truly in love and her absolute sureness that it is love, is with an amazing married woman. They grew closer and closer. Yet Suan, did not know how to confront Hope with her feelings towards her. Does Suan value her friendship with her icon or is she willing to risk it for love?
