Love Unspoken

I have no freakin' clue why and how, but all of a sudden, out of the blue, there's this one particular scene from the movie, 'Love Actually' that's been stuck on my mind the whole night.

The one scene where Mark stands in the snow on Christmas Eve at the door step of Juliet's, and starts professing his love for her on poster boards while playing Christmas carols on the stereo - while Juliet's new husband, Mark's best friend, sits waiting for her in the living room.

Rather than reeking of adultery, it turns out all so sweet.





Mark rings the door-bell, and Juliet opens the door and is surprised to see him.

Peter: Who is it?

[Mark's sign reads "say it's carol singers"]

Juliet: It's carol singers.

Peter: Well, give them a quid and tell them to bugger off.

... ...

Mark: [on sheets of poster board] With any luck, by next year... I'll be going out with one of these girls.

Mark: But for now, let me say... Without hope or agenda... Just because it's Christmas... And at Christmas you tell the truth... To me, you are perfect... And my wasted heart will love you... Until you look like this

Mark: Merry Christmas


I am always for the underdogs.

Some things are perhaps better left unspoken, but some things, you should never have regrets speaking of.

It's all just a matter of judgement and perception.

At the end of the day, you just don't let yourself down.
