To leave you feels like moving one step farther from happiness; to draw near you is to feel the beauty of the world quietly deepen.
We live amid tides of meeting and parting, coming and going, over and over, until at last we begin to taste what life truly is. A season of hesitation is not always a missed chance. Perhaps it is only a trial left by fate, so that after a moment's uncertainty, two hearts might draw closer still.
Only after taking the longer road do we understand the grace of turning back. Only after making mistakes do we learn that cherishing someone is not a weightless phrase.
In a lifetime, we cannot hold sorrow for too long, nor keep joy forever. Many feelings are thinned by the years; many memories eventually scatter into the wind.
Yet some moments are exceptions.
That single glimpse across a boundless sea of faces.
It lasts only an instant, yet among ten thousand passing figures, we suddenly recognize the one for whom we were always meant to pause.
From that moment on, the ordinary crowd has meaning, and the long years acquire an echo.
