A MAN'S SORROW CUTS DEEPER

A friend who understood...

When it came to love, Ceycey was no expert at all. He feared it for all of his life. When he found it, and realized the true power of love, it escaped him. And that burning despair for what could have been never let him forget it. That is why Sanem and Can were so dear to his heart. He knew what they felt. And deep down inside he hoped against hope that one day that happily ever after would find them again...

Ceycey was there for Sanem and Can, every step of the way. He never forgot how Sanem made him feel when she revealed he was the one that brought them together. Through ups, and through downs, he watched their love grow. He grew close to Sanem, and the friendship they shared meant so much to him. Until they met, he was a lonely soul. Away from his homeland, he found peace with Sanem. They bonded over the fact that they were like none other. He understood her, and she found a way to get through to him through all of his exasperations and calmed him down.

He had a strong heart, that was weak for what mattered in life. For love and for friendship. And that strong heart of his could not keep a secret, especially one that pertained to emotions that had the potential to turn the world upside down.

Ceycey knew how much their love grew. He knew how much Sanem loved her albatross. The day she told him that Can Divit himself was her beloved albatross cut the air from Ceycey's lungs. No words could describe how happy he felt for Sanem for finding her love, and how desperate he felt for no secret was ever bigger in his life than this. And from that moment on he watched their love grow with full understanding of who they were to each other.

Their love gave them wings and it cut those wings down. As true in life, no love was perfect. Neither was theirs. They fought and butted heads. But through it all they never let that love dissapear. The year that passed by was hard on them all. Not only on Sanem and Can, but their close ones as well. For Ceycey especially, it was a time of lost hearts. He ached for Ayhan, and for Sanem as well. The worst part of all was that they both still loved Can and Ayhan, and that absence of love came back with each new break of dawn. Where nights would comfort them in their sleep, sunrise would shake them back into reality of their missing hearts.

Ceycey knew how Sanem had felt. He understood. And when Can returned he realized Can's heart never forgot Sanem either. Those secret gazez, innocent touches seemingly by mistake, and that unspoken longing he saw in them both was all too familiar to him. So when he came accross them, all by unintended chance, he knew. He knew what his eyes told him, and what his heart felt. They were together, back again and for good. No one could mistake Sanem's beautiful glow, not Ceycey for sure. Her heart's glow shone right out of her eyes. And Can too, was different somehow. So relaxed and with peace in his eyes. No, Ceycey though, that was no mistake. They were together, and it felt so right.

His exasperation reached limit's edge. The joy he felt for them melted and boiled his mind. The water of the pool felt like the only cure for the way his skin felt. And jumping in brought his memory back, of just how he reacted in the same amazing way when he found out Can was Sanem's true albatross. He pretended not to hear Sanem asking him to keep a secret. She needn't explain what that secret was. And the water did nothing to calm his raging heart. For his friends and true soulmates were together again...
