I'm a very selfish person, I'd never thought that I would have the ability to love anyone besides my family and myself. I often laugh smugly but silently at those 'struck' by love, never realizing its potency at killing a person deeply from the inside.
One hit. One kill.
Damned cupids.
To those whom I came forth with my worries and woes, your advice and consolation shall always be remembered. To anyone else, know that I am but a flawed individual who has yet to understand fully how human networking works. Things don't happen just because you want them to, you have to have the ability to make them work.
So, time for a story. SPM style.
It's one of the quirky things you get from being in an all-boys school. I have little to none female contacts yet I have always been fascinated by the opposite sex. I treat conversation with any female friend cautiously, always analyzing and observing our interaction, not daring to get closer than I was comfortable with. My way has worked for me for a very long time because I prefer spending time on the computer, alone.
It says a lot about a person from the way they treat the world around them. I hide myself behind layers of secrecy and wry humor, ever guarded against people. That, is the normal way of life, my way to go through life.
Everything about me has changed ever since meeting you. An exaggerated statement, no doubt, but who are you to prove me wrong?
Like anyone who has sailed through their form 4 life without much things worth remembering, aside from my face on the table, there isn't really much memories fonder to dig from the past year. With that said, of course I'm suffering academically, struggling to understand all those unrelated subjects and relate them to my life. Failing which, I seek assistance from renowned tuition centers.
The center has helped, to certain degree, in my academics. I have always hated tuition because they proved me to be unable, relying on others because I couldn't manage on my own. Nevertheless, help I seek and help I received. What I never thought would happen was meeting my mates from primary school.
Through them, I met you. As I was, I treated everyone indifferently. Not knowing how to build relationships and maybe a little afraid. I try mingling but still stayed at a safe distance. For me, everything was working out. My tuition times are no longer as boring as they once were, for I had company. Life was good.
I was getting to know a couple new friends. It was something new, I'd admit I took my sweet time adapting. Well, few extra acquaintances here and there never hurt anyone. Or so I thought.
It would seem that not everything I thought would prove to be infallible. The talking, laughing and quiet moments spent scribbling down what's on the board. Perhaps I, being a person filled to the brim with negative views on life, was attracted to your positivity and cheerful outlook on life. At first I was confused, tried to treat it as mere temporary confusion but I'd admit, being swept off clean your feet is both an instant bliss and helluva pain.
I do not know the name of the force which has drawn me to you. I'm just both resentful and grateful that it has gotten me thus far. A few months into our relationship, I can see that I longed for something more. My longing soon becomes lamenting and then into a constant reminder of how mournful of life I have become.
Time spent together with you. They were few but they were more than words can describe. After our fateful encounter, I can longer find such joy in anything else. I've changed in such a way that I seem to enjoy my time spent alone, less and less. I want company in the form of friends. I want everything to do with you. I write all my posts about you. I even dreamed about you.
That was all it takes for me to find love, feel it, clench it tightly around my knuckles, and learn to let go. The learning process is what many has described as a sad and painful experience. As of now, I am still learning.
I have changed because of you, from a social recluse to a more sociable person. Many things I have done, in your name. I am a fool. A happy fool who has been totally entranced by your enthralling and timeless beauty. It is your beauty of the heart that has made me fall for you that until now I cannot stand up. I shall treasure the image of your beauty in my heart for a very long time.
We might never be together but still, I hope for a better future. Hope is for those too weak to have true faith yet they cling to it.
The end. Now stop laughing behind my back.
A+ for GCE? In my bloody dreams.
