But a moment later, the rainbow had vanished and the hail returned, and he realized that joy was sometimes only an illusion."

"Relationship is about forgiveness and compromise. It is about balance where one person complements each other."

"...nothing wonderful lasted forever. Joy was as fleeting as a shooting star that crossed the evening sky, ready to blink out at any moment."
