What is love?
Do I really need to know what love is to be in love?
Have I ever been in love?
I did once searched for love at a young age of 12, when I was in Grade 6, because of peer pressure.
I had a thing with this sophomore named Kurt.
I thought I loved him but Love is not an easy thing to say when you are not sure what it is.
I never said I loved him and he never said it also.
The love I thought I was in, with Kurt, is really an infatuation. Where in I was in a state of being interested in someone that it gave me butterflies in my stomach and gave me a thrill of excitement as I get to know him better.
We were a thing for a couple of weeks until I heard he was also having a fling with my friend. So yeah that’s how we ended.
Fast forward to my first boyfriend. Jace, I thought we were forever. He was kind, good looking and also smart. He was the MVP player of a basketball team and girls were jealous of me.
Somehow he was too clingy.
He wanted me to come with him everywhere he goes.
He wanted to be with me 24/7 and it was too suffocating.
I didn’t want to hurt him so the worst thing I had to do was to cheat on him. I entertained one of my suitors and I asked Jace for a cool off.
In that cool off I was happy to be entertained by Cruz until I heard Jace was getting back with his ex Rica and I was shocked.
I stopped flirting with Cruz wanting Jace back but somehow he said He still loves Rica.
How is it easy for him to say he still loves her? Did he still love her while we were together and we just needed a cool off for him to know that he is STILL in love with her?
So what was I in our relationship?
They are still a thing until now.
Stay strong you guys, happy 3rd anniversary.
I wasn’t sure if I was infatuated or in love with Jace but somehow I eventually moved on and got another boy.
T.M. wasn’t that handsome or good at sports but gaahd help me. He was so freaking good in Math that it made me Idolized him.
We became official in September and we ended in January where we had a fight and cooled off.
I forbid myself in entertaining any suitors.
I forbid myself looking for another boy
I forbid myself talking to another boy
because I was soo attracted with T.M. that I thought he was the one for me.
Somehow prom came we haven’t made up and I just got news that he asked my best friend to the prom.
I was broken hearted for the first time.
I never knew they were talking to each other while we were in a cool off.
They went to prom and I was alone but fortunately I moved on.
Moved to a new school, a new hair and a new name.
I told myself I wouldn’t get a new boy but fuck my physical needs got me a new boy in just a month.
Ron was confused about his feelings but somehow he was the first guy that I got physically attached with.
He was the first guy that I got intimate with.
I’ll leave the imagination with you guys.
Our love that is not enough that made us give up on each other.
Our relationship was too toxic.
A shitty thing called love that broke me in pieces cause it hurt me too much.
It damaged me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Ron made me feel disgusted with my body.
I never wanted to face another boy again knowing what Ron and I did.
I am stuck with this thought of marrying Ron or no one else.
I don’t want any boy look at my body except Ron.
I can’t forgive myself for letting a boy touch my body if he will not be my husband.
Is this the thing called love?
The love that makes me fight?
Is this even love or lust?
It is still confusing for me because it could be a responsibility or pride.
Love is something that isn’t real for me.
I have never been in love but I have been infatuated, attracted, idolized and lusted.
I don’t want to be in love with anybody else but I want to try being in love with Ron, not lust, not infatuation, not attraction and not idolization.
I want to find the real love that I am looking for.
Even though It will hurt and break me more if I continue this but my definition of love is pain.
The more pain you feel the more you love.
