50 first dates will remain one of my sweetest teenage memories. That was the phase when Adam Sandler was extremely likable and Drew Barrymore was steadily stealing our hearts with a string of charming performances. It is one of those movies which will tug your heartstrings as the two leads re-discover love again and again. I will let Lucy and Henry take over from here.
LUCY
Dear Henry,
I wake up every day not knowing what the day has in store for me. Is it a never-ending stretch or a never-ending happily ever after? I choose to embrace the latter. Life has given me that rare chance of filling the blank spaces with traces of love each and every day. I don’t have to yearn for surprises and sweet nothings. Every day is a surprise, a new adventure filled with the abundance of love.
Every day is a fresh start and a brand new attempt at re-writing our love story in a million different ways. I often wonder why you chose to hold on to me for eternity despite the fact that you have to start from the scratch every single day but then the heart seldom seeks a reason to hold on to love.
I seldom have to worry about what my life has in store for us in the long run. For us, future is a myth. It’s always one day at a time as we sprinkle our lives with doses of love. I have chosen to embrace the surprises that life has in store for us between sunrise and sunset.
I know I will wake up tomorrow not knowing who you are but I will be waiting to make me fall in love with you again.
HENRY
Dear LUCY,
Life can be bliss when love manifests itself in different ways every single day. I wait for that moment when your eyes for the day. It reminds me that we just finished one single chapter in a never-ending love story. The best part I won’t have to re-visit the same chapter again.
I don’t have to re-live the same day twice and life will never be an endless stretch of boredom. Beyond the uncertainty that awaits us each day there’s a strong thread of hope that binds us together. Our kid will never yearn for love for all the different dimensions of love will unfold within her as she grows up.
Someday I won’t be there and neither will you but the traces of love that we have left behind will remain as permanent impressions for the people around us. Let’s hold on to each other and embrace the sunshine until sunset greets us together for one final time.
