My father told me that he believed that love and dreams could not co-exist.
That one day, I'd have to choose either one. He did.

Ambition is a double-edged sword, a weapon for war and self-destruction.

Love is a bystander with a gaze full of intent and wisdom.
It's there.
It will never leave though it knows it'll never be chosen.
It's patient. It lingers.
It will fight for you, not against you.
When it's time to go, it eases the tension in your heart, and you'll be set free.

I am not one to compromise.

I once chose ambition.
In the end, I chose her.

She was patient like Love.
Like Love, she lingered.
Like Love, she fought my battles for me.
Like Love, when it was time to go, she left and set me free.
