Have you noticed that everyone is talking about love? Why does it have to be all about it? As far as I know, it does not sound as intricate as it really is. Some choose to figure out what it is and some just know that it exists between two souls but never had a chance to experience it. It is a four letter word, so short yet so complex, it can even make you whole or tear yourself apart, it is a million times wider than the never-ending horizons, more vast than the whole universe, more powerful than the force which keeps us all on the ground, more intriguing than any secret kept untold, more fascinating than the most colorful rainbow, more captivating than sunsets in the beach, and it is even older than time itself.
Often, I hear heartbreaking stories of it; failure, heartaches, grief, and death. It comes from the people who have given so much love and failed in the end. They had entrusted their hearts to someone but unfortunately, these people whom they love so much have caused them wounds which can never heal through time, wounds which will grow deeper in their hearts and will put their lives into total abyss, their hearts become hard as stone, or probably harder, their feelings numb to emotion, their spirits locked up in a place of entire darkness, their eyes filled with agony and sorrow which they can never figure out how to put in plain words. I can’t help but be compassionate enough to those who don’t anymore believe in love. We can’t blame them, can we? They have been enthusiastic about the love they shared, hoping it will be forever, but they must also realize that life doesn’t end there. There is more to life than just locking yourself up in the bedroom mourning all day and night hoping that all was just a nightmare. They have made themselves prisoners of the past which is ridiculous. They can never do anything about what has happened so they might as well move on. I know that it is not an easy thing to do, but if you will dedicate yourself into starting out again, there is absolutely a possibility that these wounds will heal, though scars are still pretty obvious. We can heal the pain, but we can never hide the scars.
Love depends on how we see it. Come to think of it, those who believe in love are the ones who end up happy. Life isn’t a fairytale where you just lay on your bed hoping that your fairy godmother will appear next to you and give you your princess or knight in shining armor. No, not all stories of love end up happy, but if we want to achieve genuine happiness, one that will truly last a lifetime, we must be patient enough to wait for someone who will sweep us off our feet and believe that somewhere at the other side of the globe, is somebody who is also eager to find us. Being happy is not controlled by fate; it is a matter of choice and not chances. Have you ever wondered why most stories in fairytale books end up finding their soul mates? Well, it is to inspire us to continue, to believe in love and to realize that we need to go through a lot of trouble first before we can actually lay in the bed of roses. I accept as true, in the deepest corners of my heart, that if you aren’t happy, then it is not the end yet. Go further. Find your happiness J
Truly, Love is an enigma to humanity, but somehow, we can understand it with the help of a single soul, whom we will devote ourselves to, whom we will entrust ourselves with, whom we can share our deepest secrets, whom we will kiss in their failures and embrace in their worst downfalls; One that we will see at their best, forgive and forget their faults, and hold when they are scared to face the future.
We are in cloud nine when we are in love and we could just give up our life to feel that one single touch and you know that we are in the right track walking hand in hand with the person whom we would want to take the journey with.
The feeling of loneliness is washed away by a single kiss; one that is gentle and passionate; filled with so much love and longing; one that would defy all known laws; one that can tell you that finally, you have found the other half of you; one that you would want to spend an eternity with; one that will make you realize that you just want to give all the love in the world to make him/ her feel special and a kiss that will tell you that you two are truly meant to be together forever, oh no…not forever, but as long as time will exist, as long as the sun still rises at the east and until the oceans run dry.
That individual can make the stars fall from the vast dark skies, he can turn to reality your wildest dreams, he can make the sun rise and set only for you, he can be a poet or a song writer or a composer or anything you want him to be, he will be a God that will hear all your prayers, he will be the angel who will be with you when you’re alone, he will be your protector who’ll defend you from harm, he will be your professor who will teach you lessons which you can never learn in school, he will be a pilot who can take you to heaven, he can give you unutterable pleasure just by being next to him and he will be there to stay with you when everybody has left you. He will appreciate every little thing you do for him; he will wipe your tears away and wish that the pain in you will be moved to him, he will kiss you when you are mad, he will forgive you when you are an hour late in a date, he will hold your hand in public and make every girl jealous, he will make you feel warm when you are cold, he will wake up early just to prepare breakfast in bed for you, he will dance with you under the night sky, he will be thoughtful enough to prepare a dinner for two on anniversaries, he will share his blanket and stay under it with you until dawn, he hugs you as if he doesn’t want to let you go and when he kisses you, you just know that no one can ever take your breath away the way he did.
Life is indeed a long journey, full of trials and hardships, which is why our good Lord has given us somebody whom we can count on to remind us how wonderful life can be.
