True Love Fulfillment Emotion Edge Truth

She met him because of her husband. He and Mr. were friends from their hometown when they were young. More than 10 years ago, he decided to leave everything behind and move to A city on the coast because he had no interest in his job or his small town. Then 10 years ago Mr. had the opportunity to work in City B, and she moved here as well.

City A and City B are very close, only 2 hour drive. In addition, people in a foreign country, family and friends are scarce, so Mr. and he has always kept in touch, although the contact is also light. Occasionally a phone call or not seen for a long time, to A city we eat a hometown meal together, and so on.

This is how a gentleman's friendship is like water, right?

I still remember the first time the three of us met in A City 10 years ago. I had the opportunity to go to A City with Mr. Before the trip, Mr. thought of him and tried to get in touch with him. So I went to the place where he lived and found out that the small company was a store in front and a house in the back. The corridor was dark and dark, and his eyes looked brighter and brighter. Life seemed to be difficult. The residence is about 10 square feet, and there is only room for a bed and a few cardboard boxes. However, he said, in such a city, having their piece of roof, has been hard. It is hard to guess whether this is rhetoric or real satisfaction. She suddenly remembered that a few years ago when she and Mr. married, he was a friend of Mr. He also remitted a gift of two thousand dollars, which at that time was already a large amount. It turns out that earning a living is not as easy as one might think.

I think I saw him a few more times. One New Year's Eve alumni dinner in A City. Once he brought his new girlfriend to City B. Two or three times in different places in City A. He bounced from a rented apartment to a rented apartment. Gradually, he made his fortune. Buys a house, then a second, then a third. He brought his parents to live here permanently. He often accompanied them on their domestic and international travels, with patience and filial piety. Later I heard that he had already made a sky from a piece of the roof - 10 years achieved his metamorphosis from a small salesman in a purse company to a sales director of a listed company.

When we get together, everything is the same as before. Still handsome. Like quiet, reading. Take a book with you when you go out and open it while waiting. Choose light food. Then good meals in moderation. No smoking, no alcohol, no hurry, no impatience, hold and hold. He is a man with a calm and calm heart, not saying too much, and not too silent. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. Just like his clothes. Low-key simple, neat, and clean, vaguely a trace of sophistication and nobility.

It was the golden season for the little people to be anxious and ecstatic about the investment feast. The meeting is always chattering about these topics. Everyone had their fists in the air and was eager to move, fearing that they would miss the great opportunity to be worth millions tomorrow. It's not her favorite topic, so it's always off-topic. Then the stock market took a sharp turn for the worse and many people lost a lot of money. His company's stock market value also shrunk to 20% of its peak. Everyone gathered together with their heads down, silent or cursing in anger, but he, alone, was always at peace. Although he had the most to gain and the most to lose, he was not disturbed and not bothered. So gains and losses have nothing to do with him. She wrote down the peak and trough, his light expression.

In this way, the three people's correspondence intermittently continued for 10 years.

The 10 years are important to everyone's life. She and her husband changed jobs frequently, and their lives stabilized until they had everything they needed and everything in between. Life has undergone too many changes, and people have also been transformed, but no one has reached middle age. The only thing that hasn't changed is that he is still single. 10 years, she has only seen one woman related to him, appearing and disappearing for a while. The rest of the time, he was a loner in life, walking peacefully in his trajectory, without revealing the slightest expectation or unease. The rest of the time, he was a loner, walking his path, without revealing any expectations or anxiety. I think there is no time to care or fate has not yet arrived.

There was a time when she faced a possible change in her marriage. It seemed to come out of nowhere, but it was a strong outbreak of years of patience. Mr. is a simple and obsessive person, pessimistic about things. She was also too strong. The problem was not handled properly and forced each other to a dead end. At the most difficult time, she thought of him. Meet me at his home in The city. The home is neat and bright, with many books and magazines. Both parents were there. They were eating out. It was the first time they were alone. She sobbed and broke off her story, feeling that she had given a lot to Mr. This is not fair to herself. He remains calm as if he has dealt with many similar changes. Reassures her. I will go to your husband. But remember, your husband gives just as much. True love has no control, no win or lose. You are pure and simple, with a strong emotional foundation. These factors are not often found in busy cities. You are compatible with each other and deserve to be together. There are times when everyone is wrong. If you continue, you have to have patience and confidence to carry it. It can be done, and everything will be better. The next day he went and had a conversation in the cottage he rented after the gentleman left. She did not know what they had said, but the gentleman finally returned.

The incident gave her a chance to reflect deeply. Enlightenment amid a wrong and painful choice. After the storm, she changed to the most appropriate way to live together in peace, as if nothing had happened. Still agree that each other is a precious and rare species of people in the world. So all the patience and effort you put into this relationship is worth it.

The days went on uneventfully.

This way another year and a half passed. One day he came to B City, and the three of us met for dinner. He has lost some weight. The eyes are gentle and the face is firm. During the meal, he said he would soon emigrate to Australia. From now on, it is difficult to see each other again. This time it was to say goodbye. A decisive tone.

After all these years, you should have guessed my personality.

I am a casual person by nature. I've never had a lot of friends.

The only son in the family, the truth that my parents could not accept. More than ten years ago, I ran away from the town because I could no longer bear the life that was too depressing and suffocating. He drifted in A City.

After all, A-city is open-minded and the repression is relieved. At first, I had a hard time, but I finally had a stable life.

I tried to date women because of pressure from my family, but I never succeeded. Unable to go against his own heart, he sacrificed the life of an unnamed woman irresponsibly without love, just to be a normal person according to the standard of normal people.

The normal side stretches outward, except for the love life. The other side is like a scar, curled inward, not identified as a disorder must also be carefully hidden.

There is nothing wrong with oneself, it is the creation.

The worldly confusion of same-sex love. Destined to walk in the thorny path, no lights no companions, groping in the darkness to move forward. Blood, tears, and sweat can only be endured. After experiencing it, you understand that the most suffering is not poverty. The same is love, such a way is not accepted by the world. It is a shame and a sin to chase after a damp and cold corner. The heart has nothing to do, with gloom, and does not have fruit.

The reason why friendship lasts is because of the shared simple and uncomplicated nature. We appreciate and respect each other. We are at ease with each other and get along well. It's not a sulk, no pain, no pressure.

The fact is that you will be the observer of your love. See the simple and pure love that once lasted for more than ten years. It was barren and rich. You once loved each other so much. From barrenness to abundance, you created with one heart.

I was unintentionally involved in the mediation of your marriage. It is very gratifying to see two noble-hearted people who prefer to pay the price for each other, love returns to its roots after the loss of awakening comprehension. The material abundance of passion is no longer living a quiet and dull life will bring a lot of confusion. The important thing is to use what kind of mind to face the role.

So, promise me that you will cherish your feelings. In this world, it is rare and hard to find. It can be full of dull or stormy still flawless existence and sublimation. Let me maximize the infinite possibilities that true love brings. Forgiveness and patience. Give in to the whole. Birth and death. Boundless and boundless.

I envy it, though I am not destined to get it.

Go to Australia and be a man without a past. Forget the town in A-town. Forget A-town in Australia. Although it is not certain that a person without a past, does not necessarily have a good future.

But I have no regrets. Smiling in the face of fate, I have tried my best. Besides, life has treated me well, and I am rich in my career. The feelings are occasionally abundant but always crippled. Wealth cannot be exchanged for true love. This incident made me understand that nothing is perfect, nothing is absolute. I am not lucky, nor am I unlucky.

What I owe most are my parents. They have grown old. For the past few years, we lived together. We took them around and made up for it in this way. After they leave, they will stay in A-town. If you can, can you take care of them for me? I have no better friends.

I know my story is not acceptable to many people. I hope you can make an exception.

They both drank a lot that night. He was always stoic. But that night, I saw clear tears slipping down his cheeks.

It was the first time in more than a decade that the three of them talked to each other. The truth emerged, as heavy as the top of the mountain. And her heart only respects. The man who walks on the edge of the crippled emotions, surprisingly emitting bright light, warming the heart of the world's resentful spouse. He has a deep insight into life and feelings, wiser and more reticent than normal people. The pain of love, marriage, parting, indifference, abandonment, and the pain of having to face feelings destined to forget, nowhere to find, nowhere to hold on to, every time apart, every place to say goodbye to him, all of them are nothing!

Three people. Love two places. The same essence. All are impermanent. There is no such thing as perfection. There is no one right or wrong. If love is abusive, if it is only endless desire, right is also wrong. If one loves, what difference does it make if one loves a woman or a man?

A long time later, she read such words in a book. She remembered that he once mentioned a part of it.

"In true love, there is no fear, no sacrifice, no control, no winning or losing.

In true love, there is only openness, only trust, only fulfillment, only freedom. "

Think of him and their story. Add a sentence for him.

In true love, there is no fear, no sacrifice, no control, no winning or losing.

In true love, there is no taking, no possessing, no gender, no boundaries.

In true love, there is only openness, only trust, only fulfillment, only freedom.

May he find true love in Australia!
