"Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who's in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It's like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven't seen in a long time."
— Haruki Murakami
We all have heard of the word love.
Some know the word better than others.
Some, in fact, despises the word, claiming it brings nothing but emotional pain.
Some rejoices with the word, stating that love is what makes the world a better place.
I can`t help but wonder,
why are we humans supposed to fall in love and find solace in the arms of another?
Why can`t we just be alone?
We`re all going to die alone, anyway.
I am not being paranoid about falling in love.
I am just questioning, though it is wrong to question God`s will.
Let`s picture a scenario.
A girl falling in love with a guy and they become a couple.
Okay, usual sparks of the "honeymoon period".
And then, starts the little arguments and challenging obstacles.
Getting through it is all fine and dandy.
You`d assume that this is all a typical relationship like any other.
But, what happens if one day you`ll wake up and realise that you have no more feelings for each other?
What happens then?
Do you just tell the other person, hoping that he/she would understand?
What happened to all the I love you`s?
Or the spark and thrill of being in love with him/her in the first place?
What happened to the feeling that you once knew?
Do you just shut it off just like that?
Just because one day you woke up and realise that the feelings fade.
What`s the point of being in love?
If one day, your partner would wake up and suddenly decide that his/her feelings faded.
I`m not being a cynic, trust me, I`m not.
I`m just confused.
People say that they`re in love or falling in love,
but how true is that?
How do they know that they`re falling in love?
they say , are you really in love or in love with the notion of being in love?
If they are,
are they painting a target on their heart?
My views aren`t cynical.
I`m just stating what I think.
Maybe I`m wrong or maybe I`m right.
I`ve fallen in love only once,
But I guess I fell way too hard than I intended to.
