Love, Sadness, and Joy
A Hidden Corner of Happiness
The Beginning
In a corner of happiness, hidden beneath fallen leaves, love danced among the heart pieces scattered on the soil. Sadness watched, observing silently. Love cried out, but neither listened. Love ran, disappearing with the heart pieces, and marched away from that place of sadness and bitterness. Crying to heaven, they looked back, not understanding, crying uncontrollably. Love lost and suppressed its breath.
Lies and Pretenses
Love began to lie, pretending joy had left, hidden that April afternoon. The next morning, love lied again, saying the heart was already formed, hiding everything that was destroyed.
A Strange Encounter
When all was lost, love sighed as sadness approached. Sadness held its bitterness, but in this strange encounter, joy reached out, slowly rising. Step by step, sadness and love joined.
Shared Suffering and Happiness
They saw how different, yet similar, their suffering was; love’s body cold, tears deposited in the river. They wanted to caress each other’s faces, to join hands and find happiness.
Running to Share Their Story
They ran, wanting to share their sadness and love. Karina and Paul’s broken, trampled, and butchered hearts were reinforced by the stories they formed together.
