L O V E ’S P H I L O S O P H Y The fountains mingle with the river, And the rivers with the ocean; The winds of heaven mix forever, With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single; All things by law divine In one another’s being mingle: -Why not I with thine? - Percy Bysshe Shelley
“My life is a homing bird that flies through the starry dusk and dew.
Home to the heaven of your true eyes. Home, dear heart, to YOU.”

Moving to another place is exciting. You get acquainted, and establish friendships. You take delight in all its novelties. You get so used to the place you will think you have come to LOVE it. Because it changes you. Because it comes in handy. Because it sweeps you off your feet. Because it’s NEW. But one day, out of nowhere, it will dawn on you. That you miss HOME.
Just like in forming new relationships, you welcome change but you know to whom your heart belongs.
HOME. Wouldn’t you be estranged to go back years after and find it taken over? There will be wear and tear from leaving it behind, repairs made upon it by somebody else, additions you don’t recognize as your own. It will strike you as odd at first but the old familiarity and comfort will later seep in. What matters most is that you know the directions back, that no matter WHEN you decide to return to it, your home still WELCOMES you…..…
HE IS STILL MY HOME, no matter where I am, no matter where life takes me.
Like long-lost friends, we spoke for like an eternity. All the things that needed answers, and more. We talked about his dad who I am very fond of and respect so much, our lives now living apart, new people around us and problems we are dealing with, our son that he so loves. And occasionally some of the many beautiful things we, not too long ago, shared. It’s beyond words what kind of relationship we have now. All I know is that there is more honesty and truthfulness. It was always easier for me blaming everything on him when I have had my share of faults. I try not to dwell on them too much now. But for another time since our last talk, he said he was unhappy. And this time he told me why. I won’t tell you though (LOLz).
