People say love must weather hardships to become sweet and precious, but it's easy to overlook the bitterness along the way. I can't believe that on this one-way journey through life, I met the man who made my heart flutter.
He was older than me, a bona fide uncle, while I was just an innocent girl fresh out of college when we first met.
This love didn't come easily, but faced with pressure from all sides, I couldn't let it go.
What I couldn't give up was his tenderness...
Nor could I give up my own stubborn devotion...
But after he said those three words to me, everything turned into birds circling around me, telling me stories of warmth and sweetness.
