Love again.

When your partner breaks up with you,
do not presume that it doesn't hurt them to make that decision.
It may be a cruel choice to part ways,
especially if it has been a generally smooth sailing relationship that has been going on for years.

But bear in mind that everyone needs to grow and be nurtured in different ways.
You might have shared a big part of your life with that special someone,
but as time goes by,
it is common that one, or both partners, find that they can no longer "grow" with the other.
This beckons the time to bid each other "adieu"
and to welcome the intimate participation of someone new in your life.
New lessons to be learnt,
yet never to forget the ones from before.

Love is not a game, mind you.
It is an exchange of promises, care, support, trust, honesty,
and every little detail about yourself that would actually mean the world to your other half.


Two entities,
with one life to share.
Through wind and rain
we hold on together strong.
Braving the tides and the currents
our warm hugs shall rekindle flames.

Promises to follow through,
heartaches to ease from kisses.
Let our love burn like an everlasting candle,
sparks eternal, flames aglow.
