Tranquility In the Morning
Look how things yellow perfectly in the sun’s morning light.
My, how they glow uncontrollably!
Feelings of warmth penetrate me like water on a napkin.
Ahhhh, such magical bliss…
She is my sun.

Listen to the music I hear.
Isn’t it versatile and original?
It makes me want to sing and dance (save that I’m no dancer).
Ahhhh, such fascination - transportation…
She is my music.

Smell the fragrance of fresh dew-covered flowers in the cool morning.
Is there anything more tranquil?
My eyes water at the thought of it.
Ahhhh, so invigorating.
She is my bouquet.

Taste that delectable pie on my plate.
Never, has my palette been so pleased.
I want to share this with the world!
Mmmm, perfection, indeed.
She is my apple pie.

Feel this luxurious fabric on my skin - silk, velor, cashmere.
This feeling is pamperish.
I look forward to dressing in such fine threads.
Oh, what pleasures these are.
She is my wardrobe.

…unexplainable.

…unjustifiable.

…irrational.

…unstoppable.

…obvious.

…unexpected.

…right.

…good.

…perfect (for us).

When was the last time you felt pain in the absence of a loved one? When did it physically hurt for them to abstain from your presence? How, please tell, can something so new be forever? It is with sadness that I recall many lingering smiles, glances from her eyes’ corners, and laughs over the phone at all hours of the day and night. I am sad, not because it upsets me, but sad because all these are only memories, if only for the hour.

Is it healthy or even sane to feel this way? I say, “What could be better?” When you love somebody so much that it hurts, you have a gift to behold. The pain experienced over even a short time apart is golden. It serves to reinforce a pure desire and longing for that special someone. If there was doubt before, it’s cast aside. If there was no doubt before and you feel the absence pain, you are still surprised by it. For it would not be pain, were you prepared and confident.
