Sui's Haven

Do you know that moment when you are casually talking to someone, and all of a sudden time seems to slow and everything just fades into the background? When you find yourself carefully studying the color of their iris lightened by the sunlight, memorising the pitch of their voice, noticing the heat emanating towards you – and then you take a sharp breath with the realisation – “Oh, I’m falling for them.”

Do you know what’s even better? When you are glad, relieved even – that they are the one you fell for. Because that person is warmth and kindness personified. Their presence wraps you in a tight hug and their words are like celebratory songs and soothing lullabies. They shine so much that their light falls on you and you think to yourself, “I hope I can shine as brightly one day, so that I’m worthy of walking beside them. And so that if ever their flame is threatened by the harsh winds, I can lend them mine.”
