Night in Rodanthe

I knew it.  I shouldn’t have watched the film.  Each time I drop by National Bookstore (which is everyday, except Sundays), the book always catches my attention.  I’ve bought books after books yet I never placed in in a basket.   Then, I bought a DVD of it weeks ago and just had the feeling that it’s a movie i should miss.  For lack of anything else to watch yesterday, i suddenly remember seeing the DVD lying next to our PS2 under our bedroom TV.

It was a nice story.   It has a positive message for men and women out there seeking love.  I agree that each of us deserve a love that is as easy as breathing, effortless and natural.  One shouldn’t be too hasty to jump into a relationship out of desperation.  A person must be patient and hold out for this kind of love, and when it comes, believe that it is deserved.

True love — the kind that lasts forever — will find us.  It may present itself to us in coincidences and circumstances we least expect.  Whether it comes early or later, or even after a failed relationship, or will be the only great relationship one will experience, it will come.  That each of us will experience love — be mutually in love with someone else — is a definite certainty.  Still, as real, complete and true that love may be, it may not be the one we take to our graves.   It may not be the person we walk the aisle to a wedding.  It may the not be whose kids we bear and raise and have grand babies with.  It may not be the person whose hand we hold when we take our last breath.  That person may only grace our lives in a few days, weeks, months or few magical moments.  It may just even be a brief encounter, but with all its intensity and profoundness, it may very well last beyond one’s grave.

You’ll know that it’s the right one.  It will make your heart ache in sheer joy with the mere thought that you’ve found it.  But yes, it will break you to pieces when it disappears, like a part of you left with it.

I hate sad stories and this one is a guaranteed brutal tearjerker.  I probably shed over a cupful of tears.  And I earned a tightening chest that lasted long after the final credits ran.  Nothing can be more painful than losing your one true love to death as soon as it was found.  As I always thought, the greatest love is experienced through tragedy.  How tragic!

Even after the very end

Let time pass

Let if fly if it must

Let the sun rise

By all means, let it set.

Let the moon pull the tide

Let the water rise

And let it recede

The sea will be more interesting if it did.

I no longer count the days

No worry when the night comes

Nor when it ends

Even if it adds wrinkles on my face.

I will age gracefully

As the clock turns

Live each moment

Make them my own.

I am the master of time

In control of each turn

Unafraid, I embark

This Journey called life.

I sail through the tides of time

Moved, moving, changing

Swaying, dancing, grieving

but Always loving.

as all things i know will come to pass

even when my body turns into ash

when no breath will ever pass my lungs

and push thoughts to my head

In my heart a treasure

one who is beautiful and gentle

there will it remain

always and forever.
