Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman,'
for she was taken out of man."
Genesis 2:18-23
I was in church one Sunday...
the service started out as usual with singspirations...
and the church choir presented a song unto the Lord thereafter...
It was the Sunday after the 'Marriage Conference' that the church held...
the pastor walked to the front, and invited all the married couples upfront...
each of the man is to present a rose to his partner...
It was such a beautiful scene...
tears started rolling down my cheeks...
tears of Joy for the couples? tears of envy? tears of sadness?
I don't know...
All I know is, marriage is not just a matter of the heart...
Time and time again, I thought that Love could surpass everything...
I tried to live by that...
only to find out what a fool I am, with this wishful thinking...
for I'm the only one who believes in that...
Say no more... Feel no more... Do no more... Think no more...
this Valentines day will just be another Feburary the 14th...
a day on the calander...
a day when Lovers reconcile...
a day when Couples rekindle their love...
a day when the Singles remind themselves of their lonliness...
how easy it is to fall in love and yet not be in love...
but how then can I rid myself of this thorn?
for if hate can only be driven out by Love,
then, will hate, be the only remedy for the Lovelorn?
