It was only until I grew older that I realised that we should not take life so seriously. Everyone seemed to be making a joke out of everything. Some of it didn’t sit well with me but disagreeing with them would only make me seem like a sore loser. How can I ever be comfortable with people making fun of the way other people look? Even now people seem to take relationships too lightly. I won’t doubt the love they have for their partners but the eyes seem to wander too easily. And the heart seems to follow suit too easily.

It scares me that I will fall in love with someone who can fall for another too easily. Then what does that make of our love? When it comes to the matters of the heart, I take it very seriously. I know we should never settle for anyone but when my heart makes a choice, it seems to stay for the longest time. I obsess over the fact that it makes you vulnerable and blind that it results to nothing. That is safer because then he will never know about the depth of your feelings.

I have accepted that I am a sensitive individual that cares too much about the feelings of others. Nobody bothers to take care of mine, yknw. That’s ok, because I am somewhat used to it.

But when it comes to the love of my life, I hope he is a step above everyone else.

I hope he takes care of me unlike the way others do, so carelessly.

I hope his eyes doesn’t wander the way I see other people does.

I hope he deserves the heart I have been nurturing all these while, just to be with him.

Most importantly, I hope he can respect me for the woman that I am.

And in return, I will appreciate and reciprocate the love he has for me.

I hope the person is you.
