Once two silly girls liked the same innocently beautiful boy. The girls were best friends but they never fought over him cuz he was so beautiful and so innocent that it broke their silly hearts. Then the boy left one day, and the girls grew up...
Today I saw the same boy; he got married to a beautiful innocent girl. And I felt silly, again. In my complicated crazy world, the simplicity of that love was unendurable. Because I was filled with a pride I did not understand; still don’t. Every bit of my insensitive, unfeeling heart went out to those two; and if I could, I would’ve cried like a child.
Because love is simple enough. It’s us who complicate it. Seeing the 196 photos of the wedding that were uploaded, I saw the clarity in life biggest decision. I’m a diehard believer in marriages, and somewhere in my head I’m clear on how heartbreakingly non chaotic this one thing is. No big deal. I’ve seen love from a close range, mind. I’m not ashamed to admit that I have been in love. But I’ve never had the guts to tell that person that he was in liberty to love whoever he wanted. As I would love him just the same.... even though I did. Always.
For whats its worth- cheers. To a brownie with extra chocolate sauce...
