Sometimes you just know. And I know, with every certainty in my heart that Sim is the love of my life. And the best thing is he assures me lovingly, every single day that he feels the same.
I used to think that a great love is the love that needs to surmount many mountains of adversities. But I've come to realize, and perhaps it is a life lesson that I could share, is that many things that are meant to be, or written in the fate of the stars, will often take the path of least resistance. It may be common belief that goods things don't come easy, but now I can assure you that this must be the most dangerous myth of love. Good things can come easy, and the best kind of love is the ones that ride the smoothest - just look at our relationship.
Sim and I started dating very naturally, being friends for a few years, and online buddies, we found ourselves suddenly curious enough to come together. One fine evening, not too long ago, we went to a hawker stall near my apartment for a simple meal of fish and veggies and talked deep into the night. That was it, it was that simple. The threads of our relationship was woven very quickly, and spun like fluid silk before our eyes. In no time, we have created this beautiful tapestry of trust, respect and commitment that touch the core of me, and still bring tears to my eyes.
Like magic, we knew. Even on that very first night, we knew that we will always want to be together, and even though it was unspoken at first, we had very early on made the first promise to love and cherish each other.
I admit that I don't really believe in a specific God, but there must have been a higher power that had been looking down at us, sensing my loneliness and his loneliness and decided to link our paths.
There are so many wonderful adjectives I can use to describe Sim, and I know once I start, I may need pages to mention all his outstanding virtues. My best friend Janet does the best highlights of Sim, she says he is 'kind, patient, big-hearted, funny, smart'.
And I say "more, definitely more".
