| Our Love |
| by Michael |
How can I describe my Love for you? It is like an explorer that wants to climb a mountain. First he observes the situation he is going to be in. He prepares himself the best he can with instruments and tools for his trip. Even though he has packed he can never know what lies ahead. He looks up the mountain hoping for the best. He trips and a stumble all the way up the mountain and finally reaches the top. He is proud of his accomplishment and will never forget it for the rest of his life. My Love for you is like a fisherman and his son. The fisherman knows and understands how to cast and reel but his son does not. He tries to teach his son so he can understand as he does. Although he tries he knows this can never happen. The fisherman has been on many fishing trips and learns from every experience. But the son knows little and can't quite grasp the skill his father is trying to teach him. But the father knows that one day his son will go on a trip on his own and learn everything on his own. Then he will truly and fully understand everything there is to know. And one day he will try to teach his son as his father has also tried. My Love for you is like a farmer and his crop. The farmer always tries his best to keep his crop healthy for the harvest. He takes any precaution necessary to ensure the crops well being. One day the farmer went out of town and the crop was not watered. He came back disappointed in himself for forgetting. After that day he never let the crop out of his sight. And although he tries harder to keep them alive he will always remember his mistake and never make it again. Finally, when the time comes for the harvest his crops are the best in the land and he is happy that they had forgiven him. My Love for you is like a lion and a lioness. The Lion has to watch what he does because everything reflects on his pride. The lioness accepts his decisions and does as he says. He hunts for him and stays by his side. The Lion loves her so much but does not show it. He knows if he does the hyenas would sense a weakness in him and he would no longer be respected. So he remains silent to her. He starts to realize that she is an important part in his pride. He is more proud of her than he is of himself. My Love for you is like two flowers that are separated. One flower looks dull and sad all of the time but has goodness in it. The other flower is perfect. No flaw can be seen on its petals or stem. This flower expresses its goodness to the other flowers through its beauty. The first flower weakens over time and sends its pollen with the wind. The wind guides the pollen all the way to where the second flower is. The other flowers see the pollin of the dull flower and reject it. However, the beautiful flower knows whose pollen it is and gladly accepts it. My Love for you is like a scorpion and a hornet. The scorpion is very deadly to other animals and tries to defend himself all of the time. The hornet sees the scorpion and wants to meet him. The scorpion realizes the hornet is coming closer so he raises his deadly stinger to signal not to come near him. The hornet laughs at this reaction because she knows she can easily win this fruitless war between them. The scorpion tries to fight but cannot so he finally gives up. The hornet comes near and forgets that the scorpion tried to attack her.
Why does it feel like we are supposed to be together? It feels as if God has put us on two separate mountains so that we may examine each other thoroughly and fall in love, So that we may teach other lovers the right way to love. So that we can be together, forever.
