Para sa lovelife ko….

Have you ever wondered how you will find the right person

to share your life with for the rest of your life?

Don’t ask me, I have no idea.

Mine was something surprisingly peculiar.

I was not looking for love, really….

After being badly burned from my past relationships.

I thought I needed a long break to think things through.

Maybe, it had to be that way.

I never regret anything that had happened with my life.

The mistakes I commit, relationships I’ve had and my wrong decisions.

I owe everything to it for what I’ve become.

And I think if not from those experiences,

I wouldn’t have been wiser with my decisions.

…and I wouldn’t find what I was looking for.

But I didn’t uncover it.

Love found me.

Amidst the complexity of things, people, circumstances…and myself.

Was I ready for it?

The question was all around me.

Love risks everything…so, I did.

Anyway, hurt is not an option in this game.

And if hurting will help me find my only way through happiness… I am disposed.

I’ve waited almost a decade to finally divulge.

How my life has changed since that one fine evening.

It was a roller-coaster ride.

A love that’s full of challenges, complications, undertakings and all.

But inspite of it, what I gained was something worth fighting for.

The love that found me was the love I longed to possess.

I have never felt so ecstatic and contented and overjoyed…

It’s undeniably true…!

You might think I’m exaggerating…

But this love we have, it’s not perfect. It will never be.

Besides, it’s the imperfection that made me embrace it.

Until now, we’re trying to beat the odds for acquiescence.

I can’t relinquish this relationship for any superficial objection.

I wouldn’t ask for anything in this world than this.

This is my only happiness.

My love and devotion.

Mine.

Our love was worth all

Of the risks and chances

Remain my true, my only treasure, my all

As I am yours…
