Glad to have you

I was seriously caught off guard.

I had not the slightest idea that it was heading my way so soon.
I tried to cover up, but I couldn't outsmart them.
I wasn't emotionally and mentally prepared for such confrontation.
To a certain extend, I'm relieved that they are already aware of it.
Yet to another, I'm just still not ready to deal with the awkwardness and constant lectures.

The statements that they've made have caused me to doubt your sincerity, and believe me; I hate such feelings.
They don't hate you, they're just as afraid as I was - sometimes, I still am.
It's too overwhelming for me right now; and I need you to walk beside me and to carry this load with me.

I'm truly glad that you've decided to stay; even when you clearly knew that this journey wasn't an easy one to begin with.
I'm always grateful and thankful to God for you; and this time round, let us do it the right way - ok?

Circumstances around us might get tougher, and people's views and opinions may alter;
But one thing that will always be left unchanged; my love and God's towards you.
'I'll always love you, my bass player'.


Sonnet CXVI by William Shakespeare
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when an alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose's worth unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
