..first love..

..they say you'll never forget your first love..but then, do you really know which one is the first? ..maybe it is just puppies..for the heart is not like that flower that blooms once only to wither and die..it is able to enjoy a myriad of blooms..with different shades and hues..each one is a first..for the heart is the garden..and love is the flower...

..and if there is a first love..it follows that there is a second, third or fourth..so what happened if your marry your first...and later you had your second love..?..and the second turns out to be better than the first?...as it invariably will..we cannot simply jump ship..even if we were to drop anchor at the same port..there's excise and baggage to think about..

..then it is better to marry your second love..and let that sweet, poignant, syrupy first love adrift..untethered...into the misty sea of your memory...and hoped that there will never be a third..but who are we to foretell the uncharted seas of the future?..your third could be waiting behind a raft...and you are way past...


...he could see the henna stain on her hands..he tried to steal a glance at her feet..but she saw the glance and tried to hide them under the chair. But her movement revealed the stains and he smiled as her mother welcomed him..

..she was trying to say thank you but the words would not come..instead she shed a tear, silently, allowing the solitary tear to furrow her cheek..earlier she had pleaded for his presence..'See me as a bride as I see you as a friend.' ...he agreed, surprised at her eloquence...

Hi Pakmat, I agree with you, we cannot simply jump ship.
Who knows there may even be the forth one waiting in a speed boat and ready to speed off towards the island of paradise. The problem is, it may lose control and capsize. By then, it will be too far to swim back to the ship... and both lovers may drown in the ocean of love!
Well, FYI, I have 3 hostages in my ship to avoid the captain from escaping... hee...

Hi Pakmat, ha ha, love this posting. And who being loved is poor?
I have had this experience once, but it was the age factor that made me drive on....she was twice my age.
I only knew of her love for me when her letter without an address, only my name found me here in Canada....30 years later.
She had passed on....it was her last letter to me.
I have tested the market so to speak and will stick to my Gold medal, ha ha, Lee.

..let that first love of yours adrift..but it will always be there..playing hide and seek in some corner of your mind..just accept it for what it is..something from the past..a whole world is waiting for you out there, young lady..its gonna be a heck of a roller-coaster ride..so just relax..
..and take care..
