One Day is for lovers and friends.
Friends. They say it is impossible for a man and a woman to just be friends. As a lady, I believe it is but to just a certain degree. Keeping an arm's length still is valuable advice. A matter of self preservation or precaution, not to hurt the other and to protect your heart.
Scared. At some point, Dex and Ems were frigthened who should go first. Again, I stand by what the best-selling author Elisabeth Elliot says about letting the man inititate. But some men do admit that at times, they get tongue-tied. As for me, if you love someone, you will declare it. Plain and simple. If one can not utter the words, perhaps he just doesn't love her that much.
The Risk. The risk for Dex and Em was letting a decade pass through their eyes. Wasted? Maybe. When Dex finally gathered enough sensibility to realize he does love her, and has always, what he didn't realize was their time is running out.
Epiphany. Love, cliche as it is, is a roller-coaster ride. But at the end, when two hearts are meant to be one, the pre-destined purpose of their existence still prevails in the end. The journey was exhausting, long and profoundly full of mishaps and bliss, but it was worth the wait. It ended painfully beautiful. A story worth-telling others, that when you love... love and embrace it now. You'll never know until when you can hold it close to your heart. You'll never know when it will drift away. You'll never know when it will be taken from you.
