The Power of Love
It's true you see. For someone you truly love, you would do anything in the world. You wouldn't care if the world is to end and all you ever want is for a smile on his/her face. A smile, a grin, a jerk of the mouth. For you, With you, for what it is worth. I would do anything even change myself completely for that person. But it all comes down to that one bloody question, is that true love? I have met a few girls in the past of whom I have had a crush on but on later years, come upon the realisation that it is just merely a passing infatuation. "poppy love" as my former literature teacher, Mrs Anne Ang, would say. A work of unmistakable hormonal changes in the early years of adulthood. With each passing year, the same thing happens and finally I would isolate the person completely like our body rejecting a foreign tissue. So how do you distinguish true love from... poppy ones? :)
Your heart thumps wildly, and your mind races crazily thinking of the best words to say. Something cool... maybe something funny... Wait, would she laugh? No, of course not. change... change... Okay, just smile. Help her out in any way. When she stares at you in a way she never looks at you before, you cannot sleep. When she laughs finally at something you blurted out by chance, you laugh to yourself in the showers hours later. When she ignores you, you'd go to extremes even asking God for guidance at nights or cover the pillow to your face, again your mind speedily going in races with questions and questions. that is me, every single year for the past 5 years, pathetic and stupid but it still happens.
But this is infatuation. Love cannot be like this:) You, girl, is an obsession like a drug that keeps me going and going and I tell you this, infatuation is a good thing. it gives you experience to the real thing for one. Nearing my 'O's this girl who entered my life by the twist of fate and coincidence, shattered the way I run things in my life. She is an infatuation, not the real thing. Back then, i was facing the stress of my life handling some sensitive issues but she was there ALL night, keeping me smiling and laughing until one of us sleeps out of tiredness. She knew all my life problems and she always had an advice and remark. And she has the most beautiful smile in the world. No one, I am sure, can beat her smile and her laughter. When I went back home with her, the world around would just crumble. I would walk 10km in the wrong direction to her house just to see her off and on her birthday, I bought an extremely large winnie the pooh bear and plop it on her desk before her lessons started in front of her classmates. Weekly, I would write a note or two with a poem and put it under her desk before texting her. I made a treasure map around the school and even went into the Girl's toilet to set the "treasure path". We filmed two movies together and I gave her chocolates on a monthly basis.... The good times:) Her name was Loh Shao Yu, a year younger than me. That is what poppy love can make you do, what about the real thing? Even now, I would think about her and what we had gone through together-the experience.
So what is love really? What can it really do? I am still too young to write about love I guess. one day when I finally meet my future life partner, I would show her this blog post and tell her that i have finally found my true love. Hmmmm... I think I might want to add something. Now, this person i met is unlike any other girl i have ever met. Unlike any other person, I dont feel scared or nervous with her. I feel... so at home and peaceful and all I ever want is for her not to get hurt. Especially by me. Is this love? It's undescribable, okay ooopsss going off topic:)
