Looking back, the journey of 15 years is a story of unparalleled emotion, respect, relationships, waiting, journey and love.
Time is like an epic poem. Its pages are written with stories of people, relationships, waiting and journey. When I look back today, exactly 15 years ago, a silent but profound journey of the two began one afternoon. Not with any event, not even a bouquet of flowers in hand, not the flash of a camera—there was only the meeting of two eyes, the silent promise of two hearts.
The days at that time were much simpler than today. Even though there was no flash of a mobile phone, the light of the heart was in the eyes. Love was not in touch, but in waiting. Countless afternoons have passed in that waiting, where the shadow of dreams floated in a cup of tea.
At the beginning of the journey, there were raw emotions, unknown fears, the glare of society, and the battle to convince the family. But patience and love never left hands. Mod's love was walking on an empty road wet with rain, or sitting on the corner of a roof and watching the sunset. Amidst the complexities of life, we found a simple solution together—"we."
So much has changed in this fifteen-year journey—our looks have changed, our professions have changed, our surroundings have changed, but the eternal bond of the heart has not changed. Maybe we don't have the time we used to have, but making a cup of tea and sitting next to each other is like a new form of that letter. Today, through this writing, I look back at every moment, every smile, every tear, that have woven together a strange root—the root of love. These 15 years of being together are not a destination, but a great ocean journey—in each wave of which the poetry of the lives of two people is written.
This story is a light of hope not only for us, but for all those who trust each other, who want to protect all good feelings and promises.
If respect is right, time protects it. And if two people can see their future in each other's eyes, then no year is old—everything is a new morning of a new journey.
