Love

Love? I think I can’t define this four letter word without me experiencing how it feels to be in love and to be love by my special someone. Well yes, I was once there, I felt like he’s everything I ever wanted.

We started out being classmates in high school, we were friends then. We spent most of our time being together as buddies. We share secrets, problems, pains, and laughter’s. After high school, we never had the chance to ask one another where to go to college. Till the time that I needed to go to a dormitory for college. I was so shock seeing him on the same dormitory as I choose. He was happy to see me too; well that’s what I saw in his eyes.

Days passed till we finally adjust ourselves to the new stage of our life, to live by ourselves and face the difficulties in college alone. We remain buddies then, he even introduced me to his new girl in school. Seeing him happy made me so happy too. Until one Friday afternoon, when I was on my way home, he called me and ask me to kiss him goodbye before I go, he even hugs me and kissed my forehead when I wasn’t doing what he ask me to do. I was so nervous then, that I do not know what to do. My hands are trembling, and I can feel my face turning pale. “I love him”, that was what my heart tells me, but my mind refused to believe on what my heart was telling me.

After that incident, he became more caring and more thoughtful. After a couple of months of acting so weird, he finally told me what he feels for me and asks me the same. I cried when I heard the words that I’ve been waiting for. When he saw the tears that fell down my cheeks, he hugs me and tried to stop me from crying. He asks me “why are you crying? If your answer is no, I’ll understand”. I cried again then he said; “But if it is a yes I’ll be very happy. I nodded, and that was where my love story started. We had great time together. Go shopping with his family, we even spent a week in different places with them, they treated me like I was really a part of their family. That was the most memorable part of my life.

I spent all of my time with him; I disregarded my friends, my family and even my social life. We always thought our love was enough for us to last. But after almost 2 years of being together, he suddenly changes. One day, he asks me if we can talk personally. He just stared at me and calls it “quits”. I just find myself crying buckets and swearing off the entire mall species for all eternity. I asks all our pal “why?” They just answered me “Too much love wasn’t healthy in a relationship”. And that’s when my life started to change. Everything has change, my lifestyle, my everything.
