How Deep is Your Love

cos we’re livin’ in a world of fools, breakin’ us down,
when they all should let us be.. we belong to you and me.

but who gets to decide.

i think it’s funny when people claim they’re in love, but then end the relationship thinking the other party is unworthy of their affection. i think it’s even more psychotic when outsiders tell A that B is not deserving.

really. who’s to say?

doesn’t the choice to be together, to stick it through with that certain someone already speak volumes? words, here, don’t matter. cos it’s not a thing of the mind, but of the heart.

bestie told me that she thinks it’s impossible to understand how one can love someone regardless of everything that person does, cos there are always faults, and everyone makes mistakes. she says it only depends on the degree of the action, that if the situation were serious enough, won’t the ‘victim’ stop loving?

hard to say. perhaps. if there was a victim. generally speaking, aren’t we all? victims of ourselves, enslaved by our own passions. love isn’t supposed to be calculating, is it now.

people make mistakes. sometimes, serious ones. maybe it’s just me, but i wouldn’t leave. it’s only human to err after all. why would i choose to leave the person i love based on let’s say, misplaced judgment, or an mistake made in the heat of the moment?

while the damage is nonetheless done, but nothing will change unless one allows it to.

some have attributed my stand to nobility. which i personally think is rubbish. there’s no such thing as nobility in love. just like there’s no nobility in walking away. i’m not saying all of this to make myself feel good and all righteous in the eyes of the lord. and when the time comes, if it does, i won’t be forgiving for the sake of it, i won’t be still telling my other half i love him because i think i should. i will because i do love him. i will because i don’t want to lose the most beautiful thing that life’s given to me because of a moment of weakness. so i won’t.

we all are guilty of falling. the difference is if we have the determination to get back on track and the way we do.

so grab what you’ve got, and hold on, because in every relationship you can expect the ride of your life. when things get though, grit your teeth and hold your tongue, and keep in mind that things will only get worse before they get better.

and i’m holding on. holding on to you, adriel. first, i already know that something as special and rare as this won’t come cheap or easy. and second, it won’t knock twice.

you gotta know babe, that when i said you’re the one, i meant it.
