When I love you, that’s when you shine the brightest. But what if the love fades away?
Sometimes, I’m often confused about love. In other words, I don’t know what love truly is—whether it’s mutual tolerance and care, or the habits accumulated over time. Perhaps it’s a combination of both, or maybe it’s neither. But I believe that it’s because of love that we have those stories of unwavering commitment and growing old together.
A woman’s love is mostly gentle, and her giving is simply in the hope of receiving more attention, care, and encouragement. I’ve always admired women who, for the love of a man, give up their careers and willingly become homemakers, as this requires immense courage. If one day, the man no longer loves, what about the woman? She will eventually need to regain her independence and face life again. Such a blow and transition can be truly devastating.
Perhaps, just because of love, even without a handsome and charming face, I am still willing to give my heart to you;
Perhaps, just because of love, even without a stable job, I am still willing to cheer you on;
Perhaps, just because of love, even without a substantial income, I am still willing to endure hardships with you;
Perhaps, just because of love, even without healthy lifestyle habits, I am still willing to wait by your side;
Perhaps, just because of love, even without romantic dates, I am still willing to hold hands and accompany you;
Perhaps, just because of love, even knowing imperfections exist, I always believe that all the efforts and waiting will eventually blossom and bear fruit;
Perhaps, just thinking that I am in love…
I often marvel at the tenacity of a little grass struggling to sprout under a rock, or feel moved by a flower blooming on a cliff. What about love? An innate resilience that lasts from meeting to parting. Holding hands, placing them close to the heart, feeling the heartbeat that synchronizes with yours, love pours into a lifetime. I wonder if this moth-to-a-flame love will have a perfect ending, but the journey itself is truly astonishing!
Or perhaps, choosing to love means not facing it with rationality, but rather, wholeheartedly following the most genuine thoughts of the heart to love someone, making a lifelong promise that never changes, might be more like what love is supposed to be? Being too concerned with the amount of giving and the gains and losses can tarnish the color of love, or perhaps that’s not love at all, but rather seeking a balance of giving.
The world is unpredictable, and what will happen tomorrow can never be anticipated today. Cherish the people who love you around you, think about the selfless giving of the past, even if today you are tall and handsome, have a stable job, a substantial income, a refined life, and understand…
