This afternoon I had lunch with Nat.
It was quite unusual because he looked troubled.
So I asked what happened and we talked.
As usual my opinionated self made some comments and
there came a sudden interjection.
No, we did not get into an argument.
As I thought about it, I'm glad we both had at least some discipline
to prevent us from becoming the person we don't like.
On the way home from work,
I reflected on the events of the day.
I thought about how sweet Nat was.
Any other day I would ask him for lunch and
he would willingly travel from City Hall to Bishan.
Although it was only for a short 1.5 hour,
it was time well-spent.
From the bottom of my heart,
I really appreciate it.
When I reached home and I saw an envelope with Nat's handwriting,
I knew it was another poem from him.
(He wrote 1 for me during the first week of this month)
I was very happy to receive it because it is something from the heart.
Sometimes when I thought about my relationship with Nat,
it just seemed so surreal.
I hope that I will live in this honeymoon state for a very long time
despite popular belief that it will be short-lived.
I believe the lessons God wants to teach me today are:
#1. Be slow to be angered (or upset);
#2. Do not keep a record of wrongs; and
#3. Remember the good of a person.
