Compromise, accommodate, tolerate...
Alot of people ask me what it takes to love a person.
Funny they should ask me that question, especially when there are hardly anyone I know who has been in more relationships then me.
But the reason they ask me is because, in every relationship, I'd pour every single thing I have into it... To the point of obscene foolishness...
Love is blind... isn't it?
Nah... Like what I said a long, long time ago... Love isn't blind. It just closes one eye and stares away with the other...
I was at the gym today, when I met a very, very old friend... Over the years, he lost all faith in relationships, not wanting to ever get his heart broken again, and again...
After helping him spot a couple of presses, and talking to him about my past relationship and current one, i realized that he was crying... (yes, while doing the presses. ironic, isn't it.)
He became very quiet after he finished his set, and he set up and looked me straight in the eye and said, "I hate your boyfriend."
I understood, but I was stunned. It was a seemingly random statement coming from true anger.
.. or rather, anger at his own life...
I quietly proceeded to help him replace the weight bearings.
"I hate him because he'll hurt you again, like how the rest hurt us. I hate him because he'll never truly understand how much to value you, because he's never been in so many countless broken aj relationships."
"And what you propose I do?"
"Nothing, its my fault that I was in a stupid relationship when you were single anyway."
... I proceeded to turn red.
He was my senior, when I was in the Brigade, and I respected him a hell lot.
Not only because of his flare for leadership, but his unwavering trust in his friends.
His eyes told a different story now....
somehow, somewhere, over the course of time... people came and tore out big and small chunks of his heart, till it became irreparably scarred...
I felt like hugging him, but I didn't want to give him to false hope that I would ever defect to him... And it would only shatter his already broken ego.
How many relationships have I seen broken? How many have I seen brought together just to be torn apart again?
Just because I'm different, doesn't mean the rest are the different too...
Love, Loyalty, Trust, Honesty, Openness, Sincerity, Patience, Compromise, Accommodate, Tolerate, Care, Concern, Stability, Encouragement, Courage, Endurance, Intimacy...
All these are the key factors in a relationship... without one, it will fail, without saying..
Three months.
Hey dear, its been three months already, since I asked you to be my boyfriend...
I'll still hold true to the words I said, and always will...
With all the above, and more...
be my boyfriend
be my love,
be my heart
and my tears
Cause agony never new such sweet pain
as to admonish love as to receive
for now
for ever,
a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry
a heart to carry and a strong arm to rely on...
I will be your everything.
As you will be mine....
