What was funny about us was that we hated comparing our feelings. We both love each other not knowing that it was more than enough for us to notice. That we are so foolish, we believed that we didn’t deserve each other. That one thinks that the other was too good and so did the other. But what made us distinct was that we respected each other. That when we argue, one must be on a lower ground. One would accept and understand. We were so passionate and so the story goes..
We knew that we had nothing in common. Time was spent crying, and fighting, always at the odds, disagreeing , and most in conflict. we loved each other so much that we couldn’t be mad at each other for a day. we always had ways to pay retribution another day. To spare the moment. To forgive and understand. She believed that life is too short. Too short that hating has no room in time, Sadness didn’t deserve the attention, and the moments to be cherished was all that matters. We have had accepted that both of us has a weakness effect on each other. Of course, I’ve found out some cures but I couldn’t help but to be poisoned again. And so, I gave up the cures.
I believed that love for a person is not measured by the gifts or the charms or anything that money has provided. Most men don’t. most of them were scared to lose.
And so was I. I felt happy that I’ve won her heart and thought that it was something to brag about. And then I thought, I was just scared. she was too good for me that people around wouldn’t think that she was in love with such a jerk. I was scared that none of them would believe. I was scared to lose her.
I realized it won’t matter. They, with their false beliefs were not the ones that would matter in the end. Well, it was as good as swallowing your own pride. Then I believed that love is measured more on everything that you would do. More than the decorative splendor that money can buy. Men just use their dough just to stick it with somebody’s ass. It was more on killing someone for her than dying for her.
When I was younger, I believed that LOVE is all bullshit. A thing that poets write about. For me, it was a more complicated thing than playing with my racecar toys. Buying all the shits and making it last. Winning and losing was no big deal. Upgrading and fixing made it more interesting. Weighing up all the Changes and making plans to be followed.
I was scared that one day, I will be in love. That was more complicated. That winning and losing isn’t easy. That sometimes everything can be torn apart in one blow. That you can’t buy all the shits for it to last. That YOU have to work for it with your own life. I knew there was something shitty about love.
