Now’s when my life begins!

Look at the world – so close, and I’m halfway to it!
Look at it all – so big – do I even dare?
Look at me – there at last! – I just have to do it

Should I?

No.
Here I go…

Just smell the grass! The dirt! Just like I dreamed they’d be!

Just feel that summer breeze – the way it’s calling me
For like the first time ever, I’m completely free!

I could go running

And racing
And dancing
And chasing

And leaping

And bounding
Hair flying
Heart pounding

And splashing
And reeling
And finally feeling

Now’s when my life begins!

Our Story

Stung by a love bug, drugged by a love potion, ah, we were on a high.

We were young and carefree. We walked together, felt the sea breeze on our faces, stopped to look at the horizon, and wrote our names on the sand. The world was ours. In our secret place we linger. Ours is one typical love story. But the dearest story we’ll be sharing with our offspring.

The world was ours.

I don’t know how our story should be told. I just know for sure that ours is not a fantasy, not a fairy tale. Having you is reality that is better than dreams.

We walk on the same path, side by side. Together we blossomed. Together we soared. I’m proud of you. I’m proud of us.

Years passed like the wind, unnoticed. And here we are with a lot of remarkable moments. We crossed bridges together and trekked mountains and volcanoes. Our long and short walks through life made us stronger and even fonder of each other.

We celebrated life in thousands of ways. We explored our own little world—well almost—yet we still go back to our favorite place–our own world–where we own the night and share the light of the moon and the brightness of the stars with our gazing eyes.

And then there came the night when the stars seemed shy. You released those flying lanterns to decorate the empty sky. It was a lovely sight. You had me serenaded with our songs. And I fell in love again.

It was romantic, almost imaginary.

It was romantic, almost imaginary. Marvelous. You are marvelous. And yes, I am ready to start.

I would love to see a hundred thousand more sunrises and sunsets with you. I’m growing old with you.
