To Ease the Passing of Time

Our love is like a garden where flowers bloom and grow with the mighty power of the sun and the sweet freshness of the rain.

The sun is like the words that we say, like the hugs and caresses that we exchange, like all the things that we do and go through together…for the better and the worse, but looking back, always for the better, in the end, when everything is calm and quiet again.

The rain is like the sparkles in our eyes when we laugh together or the peaceful silence that comes when there is nothing left to be said after we have already said everything that needed to be said.

Our love is like a garden because it demands a lot of care and attention, because in a garden there are always weeds to pull out and new seeds to plant.

The weeds in our garden are the words that were said that should not have been said; they are also the somber and dark thoughts that come into our mind when we are frustrated and hurt.

Those weeds have to be pulled out right away from our garden before they grow bigger and stronger, before they catch all the sun and drink all the water, before they choke our flowers to death.

The new seeds of our garden are, after the temporary moments of sadness and sorrow that come and go, the new vision and projects that we share, our cats that passed away and the new ones that we adopted.

The new seeds that we plant in our love garden are the new steps that we add to our dances, the new friends that we make, the new places that we visit, the new experiences that we live.

The new seeds in our garden are all the small little things that make us go forward by building on the past without changing the past, just like the new flowers in a garden are blooming to replace the ones that are gone.

And if the new flowers are similar to the old ones, it is because they grow in the same earth, under the same sun, and with the water from the rain that comes from the same sky.

Even if the flowers are different, the garden that we started a long time ago, when we were younger, is still the same; and I believe it will last forever because, as it says in the Old Sacred Book, love is a lot stronger than death.
