Have you ever experienced the feeling of being in love? Well, if you'll ask me... Yes I did, once or maybe twice? I can't say.
I can proudly tell you that being in love is one of the most wonderful feeling in the world. You gotta experience the feeling of being overwhelmed. And the best part of being in love? Is when you'll know that the person you love also feels the same towards you.But for my part, it goes upside down.
We had an unrequited love. A kind of love that can really break your heart into pieces. I experienced it when I was still in the 6th grade. Young? Well maybe yes. But you can't blame me, I am raised in this kind of generation. Right after my first heartbreak when I was in my elementary days, I promised myself to never fall in love again. I've come to realize that falling in love can make you feel great at first but can shatter you heart and soul into pieces at the end.
As my way of moving on from my pernicious past, I transferred to other school right after my graduation. When school started, I easily befriended my classmates and believe it or not, the day after our first meeting we were amazingly close to each other. Then I have these best friend among our squad. Actually our squad consists the whole class. I have 6 best boy friends and 8 best girl friends. It was really cool to be a part of our gang.
Unknowingly I am again falling in love to one of my best boy-friend. He was my ideal type of man. And he's well, he is really one of a kind. But then again, for the record it was a love that can never be reciprocated. He's still stuck with his past love. It is indeed hard to love someone who's not yet done loving other person. I am hurt AGAIN. But what could I do? It is love all along. Love is really the most powerful thing in the world. Even though I am hurt by the same reason it never came into my mind that I should stop what I'm feeling right now. Maybe because I know what true love is.
When we were young we thought that love is just a game, the one who fall in love first loses. But it isn't. It is more than just a game. It is like a battlefield, wherein you're going to win and achieve victory or you'll lose the battle.
True love... it is a big word, a word used by love experts😂 I admit I'm not a love expert but through the experiences that I have encountered I know that I now understood the real meaning and essence of love. Love means fighting for the one you love, but what if like in my situation wherein the man that I love still loves the girl in his past. Love doesn't just mean that you should fight for that person no matter what. Letting go shows much greater love than holding on.
You never experienced love if you've never been hurt. But then, even that crazy little thing called love isn't constant. And eventually people will change and feelings will fade, memories will be forgotten and nothing will remain the same. Change is the only constant thing in the world. When we love, we should learn when to hold on and to let go. It is difficult to hold on to someone who's giving you a hundred of reasons to let go.
When you feel pain, that is love. You must face that pain no matter how hard it is. That is love. Time will come and you will be used to the pain caused by love. And that time came...
I woke up one day, and suddenly my heart skipped a beat. And it made me realize one thing... I'm tired. Tired of loving someone who can never love me back. Tired of waiting for the day that he'll forget the girl in his past. Tired of having an unrequited love. A love that is one sided. A love that can never be reciprocated. Tired of giving the right love on the wrong man.
I'm tired of loving Mr. Wrong.
And just then, my heart commanded my mind to give up...
"I'm finally letting go".
