How can I not love you
Monday, July 06, 2009 Edit This 2 Comments »
You know what’s sad about love?
It’s when you happen to know there’s just no hope for you being together, yet you still pray to make it work
It’s when your mind says let go but your heart says hold on
And most of all, it’s when no matter how hard you try to forget him you just can’t
Because of the fact that you still love him and you just don’t know why
Try loving someone you’ve loved before and you’ll realize that it will either lead to the same thing that happened before or something better
Not hard isn’t it?
But why not try loving someone who doesn’t love you back
It’s either you see yourself giving up, or dying daily.
If you love and get hurt, love more
If you love more and get hurt more, love even more
If you love even more and get hurt even more
Love some more until it hurts no more
The gauge of how much you truly treasure something or someone is not how happy you are with them
But how sad you are when you lose them
One grows distant from another not because indifference, but because of fear
There’s the fear that’s the hurt gets greater as one gets closer
Recognition of the tendency to fall deeply, and consequently drown in a quicksand of stupid irrationalities
Sometimes, what drives one away is not the absence of emotion, but the overwhelming presence of it
Falling in love is never a decision, always by chance
Staying in love is never a chance, always by choice
and falling out of love is never a choice, always a decision
Attraction comes to us by chance, but true love that lasts is truly a choice
Listen: Fate brings you together, but it still up to you to make it happen
We may meet someone by chance, but loving and staying with that someone is still a choice
Just because my eyes don’t have tears,
It doesn’t mean my heart doesn’t cry
Just because you always see me strong
It doesn’t mean there’s nothing wrong
Sometimes I choose to pretend I’m happy
So I don’t have to explain to people who would never even understand
Smiling is easier than explaining to all why I am sad
It’s never the tears that measure the pain
Sometimes, it’s the smile we fake
A person who truly loves you is someone who sees the pain in your eyes,
While everyone still believes in the smile on your face
The person you love most has the best capacity to make you the happiest person in the world and may give you the worst heartache you can never imagine
Time can heal wounds, but it can never get back what once we had and lost
Time can’t tell when or how we would move on after all was said and done
Because God gave us time but we never valued this gift he had given us
So learn to treasure the ones you choose to love now
Because when they go, there won’t be time to have them back
In life, I have done everyway of fighting, heard every painful truth, been in every heartbreaking scene, and felt every dreadful feeling
I thought going through it all will then make me realize that I have to stop the fighting at least to save a little for myself
But you know what’s funny?
It’s when I seem so tired of it all
But still I can’t just quit no matter how hard it is
And I have to continue hoping that one day
I’ll be able to find someone who could love me not just “right” but “real”
“Love is like giving someone a gun
having them point it at your heart
and trusting them to never pull the trigger”
I don’t know why we all hang on to something we’re better off letting go
It’s like we’re scared to lose what we don’t even really have
Some of us say we’d rather have that something than absolutely nothing
But the truth is “to have it halfway is harder than not having it at all.”
I want to know someone who could ease the pain that I have
Who could hold me tight, the one who will never let me go,
till every drop of tears that I have had fallen, till every strength that I have has already passed out, then I can no longer move
As he lay me down in my bed, sings me a lullaby till I fall asleep and whisper beside me, “I will never leave you, angel of mine.”
Time may take us away
Space may keep us apart
Rumors and hurts may break us down
Yet no matter where life leads us,
”I’ll always be here and I’ll never stop caring.”
