how much time

"I have travelled far just to be with you but still you can't give much of your time?"

This echoed in the air on a foggy night right in the middle of an old bridge in a park. After these words, Marvin ran fast like there was no one could ever chase after him at that time. Jessie gripped the bridge's railing as tears began to come out from her eyes.

Marvin worked far from Jessie. Barely twice a week, this was the only time they had to see each other. For Marvin, it seemed like Jessie was always preoccupied with things, something.

Marvin loved Jessie so much that he sacrificed most things for Jessie. Marvin had always thought that Jessie just couldn't give much not even enough time.

"I don't know how much time do you need from me. We go out, eat out, see a movie, hang out, and be together and happy. Why you still say you need more time when I have given you almost all that I don't even have mine?" Jessie strongly gripped the bridge's railing, now, she sobbed and whined.

We must learn to appreciate a simple act from someone. The moment we neglect to recognize the  simple acts we tend to become totally blind even with the big ones.
