Let Me Walk Beside You

My love, please remember what I’m about to tell you…

There have been so many girls who have passed through your life. Perhaps I may not be better than any of them, but you have the right to choose—the woman you love the most, the one who can make your heart tremble, make you smile, make you ache, and, most importantly, make you want to spend the rest of your life with her.

But you chose to hold my hand instead of anyone else’s… so please cherish that choice.

In this chaotic life, it isn’t easy for two people to find each other, and it’s even harder to fall into each other’s arms. So why should we ever let our love slowly fade away, my love?

I’ve seen so many people who loved each other deeply, so deeply that it seemed as though the whole world revolved around them, their hands still tightly intertwined… yet in the end, they still went their separate ways.

Love is like an uncertain journey. We know where it begins, but the answer to where it will lead depends on how we choose to walk that road together.

You and I… we’ve come this far, and we still have each other by our side. Perhaps, in itself, that is already a blessing.

I feel happier than any other girl because I am the one you chose to give a ticket to, allowing me to accompany you on this journey of love.

On this journey called love, I know there will be times when we have to stop because of the storms we face. There will be moments when we have to decide whether we should continue walking together or go our separate ways.

It’s not that I’m not afraid. I am afraid that when we become too exhausted, one of us may slowly loosen our grip, drift toward a different path, and lose each other somewhere along this journey that was meant for just the two of us.

But my love, I told you that I would be the best companion you could ever have on this journey in search of happiness. I’m not afraid of the long and tiring road. The only thing I’m afraid of is that you may not have enough faith to keep walking with me.

So remember this: no matter how many storms we have to face, please don’t push me away. It is always easier for two people to overcome hardships together than to wander alone in the darkness. Whenever you feel tired, lean on me.

If something breaks along the way and makes it impossible for us to continue, please let me stay by your side and fix it with you. Then we can keep moving forward together, all the way to the destination people call happiness.

Let me hold you tightly… when our journey is peaceful, and even when everything around us begins to shake. Hold on to each other, and never let go…

I want to walk beside you, and of course, I want us to reach the very end of this journey together. The destination where you and I can build our happiness side by side, and continue writing the dreams that we are now planning together.

I know it won’t be easy. Neither of us can predict how many storms and rough roads will appear along the way. What if one day, one of us becomes too exhausted and decides to stop, leaving the other to continue alone?

I don’t want to imagine that—not even for a moment. I don’t want to think about a future where I am walking alone, or where the person walking beside me is no longer you. I believe you don’t want that either.

Please save that one and only ticket for me, so I can accompany you for the rest of our lives.

Believe that the choice you made was the right one. It isn’t easy to find someone who is willing to hold your hand for an entire lifetime—from the moment your heart first learns to tremble with love until the moment it can no longer beat.

And even when two people do find each other, it doesn’t mean they will automatically know how to walk together until the very end.

But right now, I still have more than enough faith to walk beside you.

Believe in me. Let me be the one companion who will stay by your side, endure every storm with you, and remain with you until we reach the very end of this road… my love.
