When Love Happens
#LoveWednesday Is it possible to stop thinking about you? Is it possible to totally forget you? Is it possible to get you out of my mind? Like, be immune to the sweetness you command Cos the way you fill my thought is quite enormous Not that I’m complaining, I’m just curious Was it I that […]
She’s Just My Friend
#LoveWednesday He’s just my Friend She’s just my Friend Thank God for them The ‘He’s-just-my-friends’ of this life The ones who come at just the right time A time when our hearts can’t hold longer Who see our hearts broken and shattered And are determined to make it feel better The ones who give much […]

What Make Marriages Last Long?
#LoveWednesday What holds couples together? What makes them last long? What binds them forever? What is the motivation that keeps marriages? The thought that God hates divorce? The dread of the wrath of disobeying him? The fear of falling short of religious standards? The shame of having missed the ‘will-of-God’? The warnings from family members? […]
