Who doesn't like the idea of love?

The problem is never in the just the thought of being in love, but the image of being in love with that one particular person. It's not just about the butterflies in the stomach or the fastened heartbeats when we see someone. It's also a lot about what we look for in the one particular person and whether or not we think it's worth giving it shot.

People may find the concept of loving a certain person really unstable, but the idea of love itself is so pure by itself that it's hard to even have preconceptions on it.

So, what do we do when you feel both sides just as deeply?

People say,
"Two halves make for a whole",
But how often do we find two halves that have perfect compatibilities?

I often wondered to myself,
"Will I ever meet someone that fits my jagged heart?",
Even till now, I never got a clear answer.

Then came the first time I laid eyes on you.
To be honest, you weren't the one I was focusing on. Not at all.
But still, you managed to get a piece of your soul sewn onto the corner of my heart.

The second time we met,
I was in the midst of-as we would call it-another wrong choice.
I had myself torn and gashed by someone while you gave me the support that I needed.

Even when you had so much torn from your own heart.

Even when you didn't know how much it saved me.

When I thought about all these 'what ifs' from my daily night routine of over-thinking,
It once occurred to me that you were what they would call, 'the man of your dreams'.
And then came the harsh reality of wanting someone that doesn't even truly see you.

Now, it may seem as though I am being hypocritical,
And it might also be very true.
Because I want to tell everyone how I don't like this.

Even when everyone, including you, knows what I really am thinking of.

Even when I know the truth.

I want to tell them how they are so very wrong.
How it will never be true.
Because maybe if I keep fooling them, I'd one day be able to fool myself too.

But how am I supposed to resist your sweet temptation?
Your gestures, your smiles, your innocence?
How am I supposed to pull my heart away from where it may fit most perfectly?

So I think now to myself again,
"Two halves make for a whole"

Do you want to give it a try?
