they say that to love is the greatest thing that may happen in one's life. its the the sweetest feeling that anyone can have and as many would say, its the most exciting part of our lives.
i wonder whats with the term "love" that makes a friend of mine smile when i know that she seldom smile from the moment that i met her. i wonder whats with the word too that makes a friend of mine cry when only yesterday, i saw him laughing with her in the streets while they exchage whisphers of hello.
a friend of mine told me that she's in love. another confessed to me that he loves her too. i saw them hold hands, eat together and travel together. i saw them embraced and finally enjoy each others company. to me, they were inseparable. they share each others joy and sorrow. the girl was quite brainy and talkative. the guy was silent and humble. totlally opposites yet they go together well. to me, they were a picture of perfect couple ripened by time and sweetened by their friendship. i envy them indeed. i must admit, how i wish i could have the same relationship .
days passed and ive been busy with work. i have not seen my frineds for sometime. until one day, the brainy talkative gal, alone,....with tears in her eyes.....came to me and embraced me as she begun to ask me..."why?"
i didnt answer. primarily, i had no idea what was the reason for the tears and above all, it was a big question to me, why was she alone? where could her friend be?
following days, i saw him too. with a smile...unlike her, he came close to me like nothing had happened.we shook hands like the way we used to. some conversations.... "hi"s and "hello"s..... i tried to gauge things as he would laugh at me. i could hear him laugh, see him smile but in his eyes i could see...and im pretty sure about it... he wasnt happy..... he was just pretending.
later did i know that they have already ended the togetherness that i once envy. why? because of love. funny, right? confusing and brain twisting.
I could hardly comprehend but they each say unto me it was simple. the gal loves the guy and so she though its hurting, she has to let him go. the guy loves the gal and so he wanted her to be happy.
the gal was a giver while the guy was concerned. the gal was submissive, while the guy is a listener. really it sucks to understand but there are reasons that only the heart knows that even itself could not understand.
how do i love thee, let me count the ways.....
why do i love you?......
why does it hurt?.....
why are there questions?,,,,...
why dont we have answers?.....
i dont know really...
but one thing for sure....
its all because of the term "love"!
