I pray this man wins in life and living his best life.

People say, once in a while, right in the middle of ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale. The kind of love that comes like a drizzle — not in a rush, but not too late too. This love maybe doesn’t taste like a sweet cotton candy, but it feels like home; a comfy place to rest after a long journey that makes you frazzled.

This love heals, building up all your pieces and leads to peace. This love doesn’t make you drown in the question ‘Do I deserve to be loved?’ This love takes you back to your ground in a safe landing. I may not say it out loud, but all the time I can hear it as if silence speaks.

That — the path you’re walking on right now will always be the beautiful one. That — you always have time to enjoy your favorite movie. That — you can eat well without skipping any breakfast. That — you always win in life and have so much courage to live your dreams and hopes. That — you can find a little thing to be happy with every day, even if it is just a drop of water.

I keep these prayers all the day — until they reunite with you. Forever and always sounded so scary for me before. It was like walking on a shattered glass bridge. Until in the middle of my ordinary life, where I started to lose my hopes, our stars aligned. It sounds pretty now, forever and always. It doesn’t scare me anymore. Until the last star in this galaxy dies, until the last dawn on Earth, until the last wave that hits the horizon, forever and always.

Love, Oi.
