Comfort
I can no longer find from the warmth of my sheets
nor from his sweet reassurances, his mere presence
You left me just as soon and swiftly as you came
Eradicating the joy of life
Now I'm but a vessel with no content
Adieu, ma cherie...
We all have our series of ups and downs and wrong choices, but that does not make us terrible people. We are simply human and incapable of controlling our own fate, thus making us flawed. And what good a person is without flaws? Without making the wrong choice? A person who has never toed the line at one point or another has never lived a day of his life at all.
So never ask why people like me take chances so easily, so fast, and blissfully. Never judge a person for wanting to be happy, for wanting to find contentment and for wanting to be loved in such an inimitable way.
Shall people like us lose our path along the way, don’t ever tell us that you told us so, because our scars, our wounds would all heal in time and unlike you, who has spent a life trying carefully not to make mistakes, we would become better people.
We’re taking chances, what are you doing with your life?
It was fast
Some say we’re not going to last
But do we really care
About what they all would say?
Never doubt, l’amour
My love for you is unrelenting
Every step I take from now on
I shall take it with you
For every battle you face
I shall fight for you
It was bliss
It was fast
Everyone thinks that we are never meant to last
Shall we listen to them then?
Listen to all their discouragements
Hear about all their judgments
Never doubt, mon amour
For I shall love you in the morning
And a thousand more mornings after that
I love you for all that you are
Together we’ll count our flaws like we count the stars
It was bliss
It was fast
Everyone tells us we got too serious too fast
We had wounds that were still to heal
But they don’t really understand what we feel
Never doubt, my love
For every waking moment to you I shall remain faithful
My heart, my soul and my life are all yours, be grateful
I will love you unrelentingly
Till the end of my days, I will love you truly
“When she saw him face to face their eyes met and brushed like birds’ wings. After that everything was all right, everything was wonderful, she knew that he was beginning to fall in love with her.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is the Night
You’ll soon find yourself bored, easily frustrated and eventually, every little thing the other would do or say becomes annoying.
It’s a never ending cycle, it could go on and on for as long as it could, but when the wheel finally stops, everything will just start to fall in place, as if the universe has conspired with your hopes and dreams, making each of them come true down to every last details. And although it's neither perfect nor magical as the previous relationships you had, you may even sometimes feel like an old married couple, but still the strong connection, that amazing feeling you get at the mere sight of your other half would make you think and believe that it’s okay to be contented and you will be.
For once in your life you would stop looking for something more, your heart, no matter how many times it has been stolen and broken before, would feel brand new. That’s love. True love. You might even be surprised to find out that you have just fallen in love for the first time.
I know I did.
I have fallen, been caught, hurt, stumbled and rose again too many times before. I have complained how my heart has been broken numerous times before, how I can no longer trust anyone, how I would never let anyone in my life wholly again, only to find out that my heart would feel as if it’s new, as if it’s falling again for the first time. It’s whole and it felt like it, and that’s how true love is. It heals all wounds, gradually, and you may get into a bumpy ride every now and then but you’ll still feel the same.
At the end of every worse nights and fights you would still feel the same, even stronger perhaps.
It’s funny how most of us still search this world for that one person that would make our being complete when sometimes all we have to do after all was to get on with our daily life. For all you know, you have already met that person you just can’t see him yet because you’re still blinded by another but everything happens for a reason, I strongly believe in that. You have to go through a series of ups and downs first to become the person your other half deserves.
Be patient.
No matter how many wrong choices you make in this life, if you’re bound to be with that one person you will be.
Crazy and vague as it seems yet that’s how exactly the universe works.
That’s fate.
That’s kismet.
