Romans & histoires What I Wish I Knew About Love

I laid there with my eyes closed as all the memories flooded back. It was like seeing my life flash before my eyes. I did not need air anymore, but I felt the need to take a breath. It was a lot to take in. I had a life with Anthony. I was happy. I had friends. I was loved. What more could I have asked for? But I did ask for more… for a life with him. My want had made a dent in our relationship. I was barely around Anthony these past two years. All because I asked too much of him. Then when he grants my wish, after I promised nothing would change how I feel… I deny him. I turned away… all because he loved me enough to tell the truth.

Justin said to the class. "In love, we have to be wise about our decisions. We have to sacrifice this feeling for another person. If we don't do this, the regret would have to emerge from our guts. In love, you have to choose a partner that will be your lover until the end of your life. If you have made a wonderful journey with him or her all throughout the years, with your bearing kids, you will know that you have made the right decision in life," Justin nodded at the class. ***

Before I left, the nurse asked, "Do you hate me for not letting you live the life of a wealthy child?" I turned back and replied, "No, I’m grateful."

he exclaims back to his jolly self. " What about you? Will senior year be the beginning of your love story?" That caught me off, guard. I didn't think about it that far. I don't think something like that will happen to me. I've heard that I am cold and unapproachable. I don't how to be any other way. So how will a romance even begin? Do I want it? I don't know. I don't really know anything about love. All I know is that love requires, sacrifice, patience, and change.

I had learnt the hard way that love only made one weak and weakness is the last thing I wish for now. Welcome to my world!!! My world of uncertainty.

The fact is I didn't know who he truly was. I learned so much. I realise that you can't just love someone based on their looks or who you think they are. You have to really get to know them first. If someone doesn't love you, it's okay. Don't ever force it. I promise it isn't worth it.

It could set us back. "We don't hang out in the same circle of friends." "Would you stop with that? I don't care about any of those things. I just need someone who knows how much I love him." I use the word love without even thinking, and there's no hesitation after I realize I have. Who knew you could love someone so fast? I would've said it was impossible, but now I know it isn't. "It seems you are not someone who understands what I feel for you, so I guess you'll have to learn."

Then they met, and magic happened between them. The story flowed easily because, for the very first time in her life, she knew what real love was. It was her story, hers and Dix's. One thing was pretty much for sure. She'd never find another man like him. If that meant she stayed single forever, well, at least she had her memories. At least, on paper, she could give it a happy ending. "Hey, Peyton." Grace's voice sounded in her ear. "You still there? Did I lose you?"

Unaware of the impishness that possessed me suddenly, Victor sighed, prompting me to explain. “I don't know if you noticed, but the feeling that is so hard to hide is love. It's ridiculous and insane, but the more you hold it in, the greater it wants to escape. Love is meant to be shared. No one should keep it because it will only make you miserable.” A hopeful expression spread all over his face. Victor smiled that heart-stopping smile that always left me breathless. I don't think I will ever understand it, but this man holds my world in his hands.

Ptff. But what do I know about love? About commitment?
