One Day Film for Lovers and Friends

One Day is one eye opener.

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.

The Art of Forgetting

I seldom say I miss you. I rarely say the words I love you. One thing I know, eventhough forgetting is difficult and a bit challenging it's worth the pain and suffering in the long-run.

We have those keepsakes engraved deep in our hearts. Memories which painted different shades of sadness and bliss in the history of our lives. But one thing I believe in, everything is pre-ordained. Where we are right now, is where we should be. We go through different testswhich become our testimony. The mess we made becomes our message. Our pain becomes our praise.

God is great. He will not give us beyond what we can carry. The load is just right for our capacity to endure. He tests us, so and we will come out stronger and ready to strengthen others.

I just want to thank the Lord for the strength.

He empowers us to forget. He makes things new every morning.

Poem: The Shade of Tree

Like this 

shade of tree, I would

like to be there whenever you

feel weary. When you feel like getting out

of the things that complicate your life. Like the

tree, I'll be standing there and wait for you until you need my

shade again. I'll stand still for you whenever you need something 

to hold on to. I'll hold you with my branches whenever you feel down and

low, and offer you my fruits that would take away your hunger. 

I'll try to listen to every story that you want to share... how your 

dreams were shattered.. and how the pain intrudes your soul. 

I'll embrace you, to take away the blemishes in your heart.

My leaves will wipe away all the tears that you

feel inside. I'll try to stand right by your 

side until the hurt fades away.

And when your

wounds start to

heal and can

stand on you

own, I'll help 

you to find your

way again. I know

you will go and 

leave me behind 

to start another life.

But I'll stand still and wait 

for you until you        need my shade again.
