Chapter 3: Love Empowerment

To Be Seen Is —

With the constant bombardment and blast, the inner war finally caused a deep crack in the gigantic wall.

My inner child mumbled aloud, asserting that Spring took away the key to our deepest secret the moment he left us; it cannot be unravelled. This seemingly weak mentality further enraged my army, who pointed their weapon sharply at her forehead, determined to kill her at all cost. At the peak of war tensions, Love raised its voice and announced, ‘I can re-make the key.’

Dawn arrived, with the slanting ray of the morning sun shining in, it lightened up the darkness, capturing the moment where Love unlocked our secret. Meanwhile, a flutter of curious Autumn Breeze quietly sneaked inside the wall from the crack. Our deepest secret was being seen! My inner child felt as if her heart stopped beating; she thought, ‘revealing the sins of our secret to others prophesies our fate of being abandoned.’ 

While my inner child was overwhelmed by all the possibilities of misery, planning for an ultimate escape from our memory palace, the Autumn Breeze surprisingly does not loathe her for her secret, instead pulling her closer to him. The presence of Autumn Breeze, together with the sunrays, Love is now empowered; darkness and my army are engulfed in the sea of love. 

The Autumn Breeze gently kisses my inner child, she can feel the caress of his breath on her lips. So can the sorrow in her soul be at peace, be soothed and be unwound. Tic tac tic tac, they both realise that they are running out of time. Wishing that he truly accepts her darkness and loves her scars, yet they will soon be separated, far away from each other.

Tonight will be our last night spending time with Autumn Breeze, her excitement is making irritating noise in my mind. Undeniably, I too, very much enjoy his company, nevertheless I do not like the growing fear of losing him and the unrealistic desire of being with him, they are too irrational. I am saying, perhaps, Autumn Breeze is the right person, who appears at the right timing, but meeting him at a different country, can love ever happen?

— To Be Loved.
