Can't Help Falling In Love With You


"You know what, I believe in God. I believe in His power to create the best possible life for me. I believe in His mighty ability to help us all from darkness, and that He was always the light that we stick into the dark when the night gets too gloom for us to see. I always believe in Him. But then you came. Life happens. And we don't get to choose who we fall in love with. So without knowing, I fell in love with you, and that's when I thought... God, You could do better. I'm pretty sure He knows that I can't like you. And that you can't like me either. So why do I have to meet you in the first place? Why do I have to know you? Why do you exist in this world? Can't He choose a better world for you to live in? I can't like you, no matter how badly I wanted to. They say when you want something, you gotta want it bad enough. But I did. I wanted you so, so bad, but it's still impossible. There are things you can't change no matter what you do, like the weather, the past, and so on, and this is one of those things. It's not my past, or my current situation, and nothing related to the future, but it is necessary to stop any calamity that might results from my failure to control my feelings. It is necessary, not for me, not for you, but for the rest of population. You see, I'm a hero, in my very own way. Do not laugh about it, because I actually dried my tear glands to reach the point where I can think clearly about this matter. So you see, I like you. It's a lot like love, actually, but if that 65 year old man who's been married for decades have no idea about love, who am I to say that I love you? I strongly hope that you don't feel the same way for me because... Because it will be easier for me than if you feel otherwise. But hey, if you do feel the same way, this is me trying to make sense of this ugly truth about us. My shoulders have shuddered from crying but now I'm strong enough to do this, so please bear with me. Be strong for me. Pretend that you don't feel it, because at least that way I could think that you didn't have to go through the same shit I do. At least I would know that there's no sleepless nights, river of cries or stupid, angry emotions that you experienced because let me tell you: it's terrible. I know because I've been there. I know, because... Because you make me. No, scratch that. Because God wants me to know you. God wants me to know that there's still someone like you out there; someone who (probably) likes me back, but knows his every boundaries and is sane enough not to fight for me because God knows had you asked me to run away with you, I would. Because if there really is a parallel universe, I would still choose you. And if there really is another life, I would STILL stubbornly choose you. God teaches me fortitude through you; that there are things that cannot be, that being thankful doesn't always mean because I can get what I want. Sometimes gratitude comes from not getting the one (and only) thing I always wanted. Like you. So, thank you. Thanks for coming into my life. I will not regret it."

PS. You're never gonna ask me this so let me do it: Run away with me.

  2. Ada ungkapan yang berkata demikian, "Mencintai jadi sakit karena tak diikuti kata 'saling'." Tapi bahkan nyatanya, saat kata 'saling' sudah mengikuti, tidak ada jaminan bahwa rasa sakit tidak akan muncul. :""
