THINK INTO THE FUTURE- THE NOW SEEMS LIKE A MIRRAGE

Sometimes I think into the future...

I attended a wedding ceremony few weeks ago. The couples were looking so beautiful. I'm sure both of them, especially the wife's make up artiste will not apply much effort to make her up. She is a true definition of beauty. And the husband was neatly bearded, has a broad chest that gave him this sexy manly look. (I even wished I had such physique but laziness won't let me hit the gym).

I imagined how beautiful their kids would look like. Maybe that's why they say the beautiful ones are not  yet born.

As I sat in that wedding reception sipping on some wine, my mind was flooded. I tried to control myself to feel free like every other person in attendant to enjoy every bit of the ceremony, but fact must play it's course. I dived into the whys, whats, hows, wheres and  whens questions.

Every couple or relationship that has faced either divorce or break up sure started that awful journey not with the wrong step, but with the uncorrected wrong step. Yes, UNCORRECTED wrong step.

The couple kissed so passionately that I noticed a couple chuckle and smile at themselves,  feeling the romantic moment- must have reminded them of how naughty they could be.

Why the break up? Why the divorce when everything can be this sweet I asked?

Either word or action could have started it.
Either said or unsaid words, or action done or undone.

The ceremony would soon be over and we shall all retire to our various houses, leaving them to deal with the packages they chose for themselves. They will definitely say some wrong words to each other, act up, over stretch some matters, make some mistakes, disagree, quarrel, etc,  but the resolution will either make what they both cherish stronger or will bring it to an abrupt end.

I've discovered that in the course of growing up, we are mostly concerned about making money more than the effect our lives have on people.

"This is how I've always been."
"I will always get someone who will love me for who I am."
"I'm too busy to care about what anyone says about me."
So many others we say.

We are going to get older,
Wrinkles will definitely bless our skin,
Those things we cherish will sooner or later only exist in our memory

In all, let's try not to tell stories of good old days when our then today will depict an evidence of a lost track.

For me, I want my kids to ponder how I will still love their mother and see her as the only ideal woman for me in our old age, when we won't be able to pick a word off a book without our lens, when blessings of grey hairs will be evident, when I will still feel the sweetness of her lips behind our wrinkle. I just want to be her husband, and she my wife, till death do us part.
