Bitter Sweet Memories

By Bonnie Baabu

Do you love me? She asked.
Yes, he said, I love you as much as the rainbow.
Why the rainbow, she asked, with her brows raised?
“It’s because our love is as lovely as a rainbow,” he replied, smiling.
“How?” she asked, laughing.
He was enjoying this and continued smiling.
He replied - it’s because our love is as colourful and bright as a rainbow.
It’s so beautiful that it’s on display for all to see.
Caught in between a joyful laugh she asked again – how much do you love me?
I love you as far as the other end of the rainbow ends, he said still with a smile on his face.

PROLOGUE

Bitter sweet memories: a never-

ending journey through life

This book takes readers on a journey through love, despair, hope, and reality.

There are interesting short bursts of prose depicting emotions such as love, break-up, healing, and reality. Some are witty, while others are profound, and a large portion of it lays prominence on the emotional state while in a relationship. What you will read in this book will engage you, elicit your thought process, and call into question your past and present relationship status. The preponderance of the proses portray the author’s true feelings as he travels through life.

This book will appeal to anyone who has ever been in love, then fallen out and clawed their way back into it.

I hope this book reawakens your love for your partner and further emphasis on your present relationship status.

I would encourage you to remain and read if you feel connected.

Happy Reading!

Love

Appreciate the moment of a first kiss; it may be the last time you own your heart.

Begin to love, and live while you’re still alive.

Our first date

Our first date was spontaneous. It just happened during our phone conversation. We were drawn to each other for some reason. We had a mutual curiosity that we wanted to satisfy. We wanted to get to know the other person better on a personal level. It was like finding a whole new life altogether. We were excited to meet each other on the spur of the moment.

He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking.

– Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

She was forty minutes late. She walked with a spring in her step. She had a lovely smile on her lips. Her hair waved behind her. Her eyes twinkled for no apparent reason. We hugged each other with cautiousness. We didn’t want to give too much of ourselves during our first meeting.

~ Bonnie Baabu

We spoke for hours at length. Our chance meeting had turned into a voyage for seeking each other out. Time was passing by but we were looking for excuses
