Sonya and Darius - Part IV
Index

Remember this if nothing else. Remember it all. Love, it guides, it produces, it distracts, it misleads, it conquers, it absorbs, it heals, it defeats, it protects, it does so much but not usually at the same time. Love is a reliable thing if it is love. Love is perfect.

That evening Darius went to Sonya's studio and saw what a spectacular performance she gave and they headed to the restaurant for a celebration dinner. Sonya told Darius "I WILL NOT stop loving you because I really love you! I HAVE NEVER LOVED ANYONE in my life the way I LOVE YOU! In fact, I've prayed and will continue to pray from the bottom of my heart that God will keep me available and will guide you to be honest with yourself and that IF YOU REALLY DO LOVE ME there's no reason for us to wait to be together. "

Unfortunately, they never made it! Of all places for this to happen -- a plane crashed on their road and they died instantly.

It is important for me to stress that when you find the love of your life don't play games. Be honest and open. Life is too short. To the player, I say play all you want but remember there will be a price you will undoubtedly pay today or in years to come.

Listen so you can hear. It's as soft as a whisper. It's the wind that is possible to see as it moves the leaves It is the swaying of the branches, what a load the heart carries You can feel safe to see it from a distance or to simply know it's there.

But when you decide to step out, or merely open a window -- you will then hear. You will breathe, You will feel. And if you really care you will take her in your arms and you'll never let her go.
