So that's what it's like

My father's best friend, Uncle Yus and his wife, Aunty Kinah. They were both in the same band. She was the lead singer and he was the lead guitarist. They were playing a song, just as I had requested. I was delighted to see them all play so well. But more importantly, I was secretly even more delighted when I witnessed the two of them face each other and look into each other's eyes as they played and sang together. There, I saw real love. I remember feeling so deeply touched at the time, but controlled myself as there were other people in the studio.

I thought, "Real love... So that's what it's like. I wish I'd have that with the one I marry one day..."

I once went to my old school principal's house with our drummer, to find out what kind of songs she'd like, so I could sing it to her on her day of retirement. She was very hospitable and even allowed us to play with her piano. Her husband came back home and they kissed each other's foreheads ever-so affectionately cute. The way they spoke to each other, so softly, also revealed how in love they were. And the way they held each other's arms...

Seeing them made me think, for the second time, "Real love... So that's what it's like. I wish I'd have that with the one I marry one day..."

These two couples were the only ones who actually made me feel their true, genuine love. I will never ever forget them. I want to love like that...
