Three Months Ago I Was Yours By: a hurricane between the rain No comments

As I am growing older, I tend to understand how love works.

It's not about showing up at her door with colourful roses,
But it's about showing up at her door when her day was a whole mess because that's when she needs you the most.

It's not about spending hundreds of dollars for her birthday,
But it's about you remember it and being there for her, either physically or virtually, and a lot of your hard work will always beat the price tag.

It's not about being someone whom she's being with every day,
But it's about being someone whom she's first running into when she has good or bad news, or perhaps just a little odd thing that doesn't mean anything but she just wants to talk about it with you.

It's not about the endless chats and being in contact for the entire day,
But it's about you who should understand that everybody lives not just for you. They live for themselves, their friends, their family—and they have dreams. Instead of judging her for being busy all day, why don't you support her and maybe, help her? When she's finally got what she's been dreaming of, trust me, she's just gonna love you much more because she knows that you were also a part of her drudgery.

You don't have to be sorry for abandoning her chat for accidentally falling asleep because what's wrong with falling asleep? We're both humans and that's normal.

And maybe people should stop seeing their man and woman as their lover, but try to start seeing them as a friend of their life? Since the term of 'lover' is now often misunderstood, thinking that the one who should always be standing up for their goods is the man, forgetting that in order for a rocket to launch, there should be an effort from the thrusters, and a man is a human too.

So,
If you want to be with her,
Just stay.
Be honest.
Trust her.
Respect for each other.
And talk sincerely.
If you have those five things in your mind,
You'll never have the thought of seeing another girl behind her back,
You'll never have 'a busy day' as self-defence for not wanting to communicate with her,
You'll never randomly say "But, I love you" as an excuse when you fight,
And,
You'll stay.
Because that's already more than enough.
