The One Who Got Away

People are always talking about it. People are always warning you, guiding you, or plain poking their noses into it.

The one who got away.

When talking about "unrequited love", he never gets unmentioned. The same way goes when talking about "a love gone wrong", "a love that was never meant to be", "a love that will never be mine", " a love that was almost mine".

The should-haves,what-haves,could-have-beens...they never run out.

How do you definitely know he was the One?

Once it was said that the one you think about at certain times was the one who got away. The one your mind keeps coming back to, thinking what else you could have done to make him stay, and what you really had done to make him leave. He's the one who stirs up a boil in you with just the thought of his smile. He's the one who practically drives you to insanity but the one who makes you stay grounded. The one who made dreams come true, and the one who failed you. The one who left, or the one you pushed away?

However the circumstances placed it...he was the one who got away and you know it. However you deny it, you know deep in your heart, someone lurks in there and keeps you wondering,how would have love fated? Would it have lasted,would it have ended as soon as it started?

You just know.

In the deep tresses of your heart, someone lives on. And though you try to hide to hide it, memories will keep reminding you.

12 Better Explanations of LOVE....(reposted only!)

1) Don't turn your back to love when it's already in front of you.Don't drive it away from you, because if you do, someday, you'll thinkagain, why you let love flew when it was there next to you.

2) In Love, think things first over if you're sure about how you feel.Don't fall too hard not knowing where you will stand, 'coz it will hurt real bad if things don't go the way you want them to be.

3) It's an irony to know that it takes hours for someone to have guts to say "hi" to the one he likes, days to admire,weeks to miss the person, months to love, but just a blink of an eye to say goodbye...

4) Go for the person who loves you. It is not wrong to love someonewho belongs to someone else, but it is much better to love someone who could also love you in return.

5) Love isn't something we hold, it is something we set free. It's not something we just do, but it's something we don't imagine to be. Lastly, it's not something we choose, it chooses us...

6) The scariest thing about falling in love is getting hurt. The scariest thing about getting hurt is not being able to love again. The scariest thing about not loving again is being alone forever.

7) When you follow your heart, worry not where it will lead you,for your heart knows the way. And if you do get lost or reach a dead end,use your head to lead you back home.

8)When you truly care for someone, you don't look for faults, youdon't look for answers, you don't look for mistakes. Instead, you fightfor the mistakes, you accept the faults, and you overlook excuses.

9) It's better to lose your pride to the one you love, than loseyour loved one to your useless pride.

10) Love is .........not "it's your fault ", but " i'm sorry ",not " where are you ? ", but " i'm here ",not "how could you ?", but "i understand", not " i wish you were here ", but " i'm thankful you are ".

11) The beginning of love is to let those we love be justthemselves, and not twist with our own image. Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

12) If a relationship is truly meant for you, your love will find away to make it happen, and God will be there to make sure it will stay. =)

Left Alone in the Middle, Nothing Seems Right

When the river bends two ways, where do you go?

Standing at crossroads, what path do you take? Do you take the one not usually tread upon, the one you really want to go to, but the path is longer, narrower, harder to go through? Or do you follow where the currents take you? Do you let it take you where you know exactly where you're going to, but not exactly want to? Do you take a shortcut, or do you stop and smell the roses, savor the sunset, take life as it is and what it has to offer for the time being?

I am at a point in my life where I stand at crossroads.

I am too young to sit back, yet they say I am old enough to stop running through the fast lane. I am too young to give up my hopes of my dreams coming true, yet I am old enough to know exactly what I want to do with my life...or should have wanted.

I am too young to know what true love is, yet I am old enough to experience it, to have it. I am too young to know if love really does last forever, or at least last me through my lifetime. I am old enough to know though, and old enough to have seen it with my very eyes, that sometimes love doesn't last, that sometimes love is a sacrifice, that sometimes love hurts, and that sometimes love is just a lie.

I am too young to be a mother,they say, yet I am too old to be my mother's baby. That
doesn't suite me well on the days when I want to be treated like one...during the days I wish my needs to be attended to, be cared for, be hugged...days when I can barely carry my own heart.

I am too young to give up on life, yet with the things I know, and with a lifetime long ahead...sometimes it feels like age will never do a difference.

At crossroads, what path do you take? Choosing between two sides, which one will it be? How do you know it will be the right choice?

Standing in between, where do you go?

My Prince Charming,The Frog

We've all dreamt of an everlasting love that will sweep us off our feet and make us live happily ever after. In my case, romance novels,movies,and love songs took a great part in making me pine for it. Plus, having a father image who didn't quite fit into the Prince Charming part, and hero-worshipping an uncle who was a practical angel. I always thought, though hard, that I would find a prince who would treat me like a queen.

Well,guess what? Early on in my life, I found him. And surely I was a great factor why we'd stuck together. We always laugh about people not actually thinking we would last. No one believed we could make it for a few months...but we did. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Or so I thought.

It is now that I realized that life is surely a long road. And love, being a great part of life, takes up a long part of it. You wake up one day...crash,bang,boom! Prince Charming is actually a frog.
It doesn't take just one kiss to make him a prince. I realized it takes several hundreds...even thousands...which would make him a prince to my eyes.

What I'm saying is that, the one you may find one day will not be perfect. My mistake was to think that he was. That was why I felt depleted,depressed,even desolate...everytime he let me down on my expectations of him. I always let myself believe that I had accepted him for who he was. But I wasn't truly prepared for the changes that would come to him,to us,even to me, that would prove important for the growth of our relationship.

I was selfish to a fault. I had let my childhood dreams of Prince Charming get in the way of a real and nurturing love. I had not seen that Prince Charming was actually a King who had other problems to solve and his own life. I was a queen wannabe who wanted the whole world, who wanted to be the whole world for him, who expected the world from a man who cannot give me everything, but his love.

Life surely is a long road. And now that I know, I'll make sure I won't get to the end of it without the right one...the real one...not who I want him to be.

FINALLY!

I've been waiting for a chance like this...bakit ba ngyn lng to? Frustrated writer's haven ito!
Ang saya!
