Has anyone heard of a proverb that goes something like “Love in your heart was not put there to stay…LOVE is not love till you give it away”?
I personally believe in this, I mean all great love stories are always unfinished. When you love, you give it all, you expose your heart and by exposing your heart, you are ready to get hurt.
Today is Valentine’s day, a supposed to be celebration of love and happy hearts. But to me, this is the first time I will consider Valentine just as any ordinary day. Why, as you may ask? Beacuse this is the first time I am going to celebrate Valentine’s day alone (fact is, I’m not celebrating at all) since my heart learns how to love.
A week ago was the confirmation that we’re not together anymore. To quote the date “2/7/2011 (US time) or 2/8/2011 (Manila time)” - the day that I will always remember as the very first time I’d cry the entire day until I fell asleep.
Now, I will try my FREAKIN’ best not to think about you, I’ll just cherish all the times and the best times that we’ve shared - because that simply reminds me of how happy we were and how our love was real and unbreakable. You made me believe that this type of relationship WORKS, and now I am going to live my life again believing “this” kind of relationship is not REAL and DOES’NT HAPPEN.
People will tell me, “itulog lang daw ‘to, mawawala na.” I hope that’s how easy and uncomplicated the process I’m going thru, I hope I would wake up one day, and realize that the pain is gone.
I know it will take a loooonggg while to forget you, I know it will take me forever to not include you in my daily routine or not even think of you for a second or two.. I don’t know WHEN, all I know is it is a matter of - TIME!
Here is wishing you a Happy Valentine’s day with your newfound love!
