Eclipse.

nothingness was bad enough.

scarring back the hands that loved you is too much.

there is only one me, one facade,

you know that.

i love you so much to even pose a negative judgement about you,

which, at this stage, has already never ever crossed my mind.

i still care, even though you're so far away;

why would i even bother speaking evil of you?



i gave you my blessings,

my possessions,

my every form of permitted expression, of my affection,

my prayers, everyday,

for you to better seek your best interest from above,

and not for me to be misunderstood.



Surely there are guidelines to how relationships should work out,

but as it is stated above, it may not happen all the time to everybody.

i didn't choose to care in a way that is more of a friend yet less of a lover.

because of who i am, i'm just a different hybrid altogether.

even so, some think it's perfectly normal.



i'm not here to debate on how relationships are to be like;

i doubt the chances of renewal will sprig forth from the dead, or dying.



the truth of the matter is, it ain't only your spouse who needs to know the truth of your life.

your heart, your emotion, your thoughts, your dreams, you.

the truth of you is required when you reach out to the lost, in the form of a testimony.

the truth of you is required when you try to help someone, in the form of life experiences and realistic encouragements.

the truth of you is required when you preach the gospel to the world, revealing the reality of God and the light that is reflected from you.

the truth of you is required to keep a relationship alive, for nobody lives in the past, and sees nothing in the future if one does not know the present you.

the lack of truth in times of need will stumble many, for His people are destroyed from this void.

truth is eternal, complete, and brings life and light.

likewise, without it, anything is left as a temporal, dead residue in the midst of darkness.

to love, is to live in truth.

because love is truth.



like precious diamonds and the purest of gold, may you pursue truth,

cherish, grab hold of it, and not let go.



it's a weird world.

eclipses don't usually happen, but they still do.
