The graveyard date marks the beginning of a romantic encounter. The lonely souls in the graveyard witnessed two people’s disclosure of the unexplained emotions of fondness and admiration. As he uttered these words “Your eyes are shining like stars” she just can’t understand why all of a sudden it seemed that the world stopped … and as words of adoration sings with the wind, his eyes glowed as the light slowly fades in darkness. Who would ever thought that they liked each other then, when that time she was only thinking of him as a cute guy who seem to be fun to hang around with. They were perhaps both longing for a friend or a companion maybe, and they found each other. Don’t you think the timing was just right? Oh well, no need for confirmation of it now, and the rest is history ….
Just like any story in a movie or a soap opera, the excitement of a romantic encounter wanes and there as some reality that bites. They dealt with the waning of the emotional highs and re-energized the emotional lows. They continue to learn from each other as they both struggle to understand their differences. Despite the debates and the passionate discussions on many topics, and some conflicts that seem overwhelming they’ve always managed to get back together and reconciled their differences. They both accepted their imperfections.
They were perhaps both in love. Yeah maybe because a few days after Christmas of 2005 as they both trekked the hill of his parents’s farm, they both know that they will be trekking a new path. With the fear of the snakes and inconveniences of walking through tall grasses, she managed to be not whiny about the inconveniences. It was all worth it when at the top of the hill she felt like singing the Carpenter song “Top of the World”… as he bend his knees and said “If I don’t do this now, I think I would regret it for the rest of my life, Will you marry me?” … She was speechless, and as she uttered “I don’t know what to say” tears started to roll down her cheeks and she said YES. She don’t exactly know how to describe the feeling, but it was so spontaneous, she never had the chance to think. Perhaps, God has His way of crafting beautifully one perfect moment, and she don’t want to miss it.
