| EDSA Dos by ü bRaT ü “If you’re not with the one you love, love the one you’re with.” –the quote for hopeless skeptics and bitter-hearted cynics. It is also something that I positively do not believe in. Though it may seem practical, just choosing the person who’s around, well… it’s just not right. I mean, it doesn’t work that way. Love is supposed to be a special thing, meant for a certain special person. Nobody really chooses to be in love, nor do they choose the one they fall for. It just happens. I guess that’s why it’s called “falling”. You fall without knowing why, and no matter how much you try to stop it, you just can’t -and you keep on falling, harder and deeper as time goes by. More often than not, the person whom you fall in love with doesn’t fall in love with you. What happens then? Then you wait. Then what happens if the person whom you think you love says he loves you too? But he suddenly stops, without saying he will or why he did so? Without so much as an explanation? What do you do then? Do you look around and appreciate the other people around you, or withdraw from everyone else and wait for him to come back? There is really nothing wrong about sacrificing for the sake of the one you love. Take me for example. Here I am, quite literally being ignored by someone whom I supposedly have an understanding with, but you don’t see me complaining, right? I’m fine. I mean, the guy’s supposed to be courting me, now he just plain stopped calling. Do I give a damn if he dissed me? Do I forget everything, find a diversion, someone who will waste his time on me, and stick with him instead? Do I? Of course not. … Right? … “Hello, may I please speak to Charlotte?” “Who’s this?” “Chris.” Chris? HE’s the diversion?! Hmmm, well… Maybe loving the one you’re with isn’t so bad after all. |
