english,
My dear,
Do you remember the time we managed to cross the roaring river with our hands intertwined? How we overcame the torrent of stray, violent drops of rain? Or how we trudged the terrain of rocks and avoided the boulders?
Those were difficult yet fulfilling times. We escaped with breaths barely audible and knees scraped to the maximum. But we never did surrender to the persisting call of distress or misery, for we had each other.
And for a moment, I thought with just the two of us, we can get through anything.
But then came even more horrible circumstances. Rain poured until your face wasn’t visible even though you were right there beside me. Your shadow was nothing more than a mere illusion. And our words, no matter how loud we tried, never reached the other.
An adversity led to another, then another and another, and filled both our lives to the brim with regret, doubt and sorrow.
And as every calamity ends, finally the sky became clear and the sun shone. However, when we did weather the storm, we came out defeated beyond repair. And most tragic of all, we came out with our hands and our spirits no longer in an embrace we thought was eternal.
Do not worry, I am not here to put the blame on any one of us. We were shattered, broken, mended, then made whole. We are lucky for we taught and prepared each other for something far better than what we had. So let’s not be disheartened by this seemingly cruel twist of fate.
And when the day comes that you’ll long for me as much as I did, don’t look far. On the other side, I will be smiling at you for we both made it to where we are supposed to be. We know better now…
That there is someone meant for you and the others are just the guides.
