Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Someone told me that when we try to substitute the word "love" in this verse with the name of our love one and the context is accurate, it reveals that we have found the one for us.
Every time that I encounter this verse, I can't help but to put a complicated notion to love. It is really hard to find someone who will fit to it.
Love indeed is the most difficult concept to define.
Love is in all of us. We must be prepared to love and to be loved. It can mean everything to us, but when it is taken away, our entire existence will be affected by it.
I am afraid of falling in love not because I am not ready, but because of the fact that all can vanish in a blink of an eye.
Love can be earned, but the feeling can also be gone in just a short span of time.
One day people may wake up not feeling the same love towards their partners.
Why do we need to make love complicated? Why do movies and fictional romantic stories need to portray love stories with perfected stories and story lines?
It often becomes the standard for love which is why people are searching for a perfected and fictional type of love.
If I will be given a chance to love and be loved by someone, I would not focus on his flaws and imperfections.
I believe that love has the capability to spark change to a person and it erases the flaws and imperfection.
Love is still scary because sometimes love can turn into hatred. The happiness can shift into sadness.
"Luna, I'm sorry. I know there is no excuse for the things I did. I don't know if you can still forgive me." He said while looking at my eyes. I can see the sadness and also his regret. I turned my gaze because I can't handle the pain.
"Lucas, I trusted you. I really don't know what to say because I can't even think straight. I love you but..."
My voice keeps cracking. I never knew that I will say things like this to him.
"This is getting out of hand. I don't want to continue this relationship if the only reason why we are still together is that I love you even though I know deep inside that you don't love me anymore." I tried not to cry but my heart is so heavy that all I can do is burst and let it all out.
I knew but I was in denial. I knew that it wasn't me anymore.
I am Chanel Luna Cuenco and this is my first heartbreaking story.
