There will come a time when familiarity will come and seep in, and when that time comes, the enchantment of being “in” love may fade, and if we have not surpassed towards true and bare love by that time, everything will become unbearable and regret might break us apart. When the feeling of being in love wanes, love must remain. That is why we must seize that we deem to prize quite greatly with each other and “unromanticize” it, leaving it grounded in reality and accepting it as it is without the “sweetness” of being in love. I know that this time will come and will leave us in crisis if we’re caught unguarded – and when that time comes we must draw strength from nothing else but on our common decision to love each other. I have become restless in here, with all my thoughts geared towards you – and honestly, I feel that this should not be so, for what we have is far greater than this.
Love truly is a decision; and this I have to remind myself everyday that I may not be drowned by the “sweetness” of that temporary feeling called “being in love” and actually move from “being in love” to actually “loving you”. And there is a great difference with these two. Believe me, I must understand and clarify all these, at least within me, that I may give meaning to the words I love you – I do not want them to be mere empty words lacking in integrity and sincerity. Yet these are only but the first part – for what use would it be for me to understand all these if I cannot apply it in reality? At the least, in everything I do, you will see how I actually apply all these in our relationship. This is the kind of love I know, this is the kind of love I could give. Weird as it may seem, but to me, love and loving isn’t something carelessly thrown every which way we can – it defines me, makes me human. I have always been driven by it not to waste my life and live it to the fullest; to live and not merely to exist. All these you will come to feel, know, and understand as we spend our time together. I love you – for lack of a stronger and much fuller word to contain this “feeling” or “decision” that I have in me for you, the words I love you will have to suffice for the moment.
always remember that love means pain also. There is no such thing as perfect love. But it is us who will try to make it perfect.
Remember, leave something for yourself. Don’t give everything coz if you do, and your love is gone, it will be millions time painful for you than those people who leave something to themselves.
