Day 255

I wrote this around four years ago and now that I've been given back this new batch of letters, they speak to me as if it were written to be read at this moment.

It is called "The Boy and the Girl."

Once upon a time, a boy and a girl fell in love and were too lazy to get back up, so they sat and watched a sunset. They waited till the sun gave way to the stars.They sat and sat, happy as could be, not wanting to be anywhere else in the world.

They were content and thought that everything was as it should be, but a dark and forbidding cloud loomed ahead. There was no use to deny for they both knew this could not last forever. One day they had to part. There will be many trials and hardship along the way of four long years.

Nothing would be said with certainty and nothing could be done to prevent the unseen. There will be many maybes, perhaps, and perchances. There will be doubts about the ffuture. Questions would arise without answers, answers will come without assurance, and assurance would come, but without reason. There will be may unknowns, mysteries and untrodden bends in the road.

Sincere promises are made, but both wonder and fear. But a promise is a vow. A vow is a commitment. A commitment must have an agreement. If they boy and the girl agree, then there would be hope. They will anticipate with excitement for what may come. They will look to tomorrow with a smile because they have each other there.

They ask many unspoken questions. Could this feeling last? Would we be able to stand the test of time? Are we meant to be? Will changes distant us? Will we grow out of love? will we learn to love someone else? What is the price of this love?

And here are the spoken answers. Feelings are not made to to last, but love is. Time exist, but not for love. God will be. Changes will bring new beginnings. Certainly they will grow, but you can never grow out, it is impossible, you can only grow more You must always learn to love someone else. Love costs time. Everything worthwhile takes time. Time is rare, treasured and incomparable. And so is love.

There will be excitement in the unknowns, wonders in the mysteries, and beauty in untrodden paths. Lessons should be learned, differences could be made, and dreams would be fulfilled.

They know they have separate paths to take. It was already planned in advance for them. And perhaps God has already planned for them to meet at a crossroad. But whatever tomorrow may bring, there will be without fail, a sunrise.

And he added at the bottom,

"I'm waiting for that sunrise and hoping on that crossroad."
Sept 10th. 4:45Am

I don't know where I am on this path but I know that even though I choose my steps, God maps my path. And He's there every step of the way.

God, if this was what You wanted, change my heart and show me the way. I am ready to follow you.
