Days have turned into weeks, into months, into years. It was exactly in the 25th of August in the year 2012, and there he came into her life and changed everything. That was the moment when she finally called him as her boyfriend. At first, she didn’t intend to fall in love with a man like him because he knows that she is a woman with flying colors, with high hopes. She won’t stop wanting more than I have. He’s not a total package of her ideal man, her happily ever after. But then again, everything has turned into inversion. She was like a blind one, who only sees nothing but darkness. And that darkness is him. When she fell in love with him, everything seemed to be more than perfect. He’s like a petrichor that relieves one’s pain in every rain that falls. He’s like her favorite food; he’s the lines of her favorite song. He is more than everything to her.
Their whole sky collapsed when her parents asked her to reside in America for brighter future. She couldn’t even imagine my life living on a ground without his presence, without his strong hold that gives her strength to surpass all the challenges that she is about to face. But they survived! He knew that staying in love with her without him right here by her side is the bravest thing that she has done so far. But it’s all worth it because she knew that he’s worth it. Staying without him while he was miles away from her will never be easy. Cries, sobs, or even sleepless nights. She can say that she has learned a lot from him as time passes by. Long distance relationship it is. But this kind of relationship they had made them braver and stronger. This only proves that their love still prevails over the distance that separates them. This kind of relationship tested how dense their trust they are willing to offer with each other.
Saying good bye is not yet the end as period indicates that it’s over. Good bye should be followed by “See you soon.” They just have to wait until the soonest makes way for our paths will be crossed. They just have to make a chord that binds us as one. And that happened when they both said “I do” in front of the altar, as they took their vows as husband and wife. The fairy tale wedding happened last June 15, 2019.
Distance is just only a word to the brave ones. Now that they are bonded as one, they should stand for what they have promised where God is the center of their relationship. And no one nor nothing could separate them.
P.S. I've been asked to be one of the wedding witnesses of our dearest friend on their wedding day so I came up with this piece.
As the saying goes that distance makes the heart fonder and proved to be true by this story. It is common or usually distance makes the heart forget that the promise made will be broken. Many could attest to that. Congratulations to your friend for they made it , they have surpassed the hurdles of life.
