What exactly is love and why is it that we constantly believe it
should make someone love us back? Love , to me, is always a one way
street. Sometimes , you reach an intersection that goes both ways but
once in a while, there’s always a dead end. But love doesn’t owe you
anything. And just because you love someone , it doesn’t mean that they
have to love you back.
People say that “titles” defines the boundaries of love because if
not, it will run freely. But I’m sitting here writing about LOVE , in
it’s most general form. To give love is to willingly devote your heart
to someone or something. The problem here is that we tend to believe
that love is this mutual thing and once we realize that it’s not, it
becomes an obsession into finding a love that actually is.
But to genuinely love does not mean to expect it in return. Love
should be altruistic and not a duty of ” I do this for you and you do
this for me”. Doesn’t it mean more when love DOESN’T have to
reciprocated but yet, someday you find someone who WILLINGLY and
GENUINELY wants to LOVE you for their own reasons and not just because
you love them? In my opinion, I think we all desire that.
To me, I don’t need a title to be able to love someone. Love can’t
even be described, so I won’t try to limit it because of a title. The
fact that I can call you my “boyfriend” does make me love you more or
love you less. It doesn’t really define how I can love therefore to me,
it’s not as important as I used to think it was.
I’m not saying that it is not needed in general, I’m just saying that
in order to LOVE, there is not NEED to have a title. Titles make you
feel secure because no one wants to love someone they cannot call their
own. But if you think about it, just because he/she is not your
significant other anymore, it doesn’t mean that you stop loving them at
that instant because they no longer hold that special title.
Love is love. It doesn’t matter the gender, the time, the title, or
the chances of actually being together. When I love someone, I love them
for WHO they are and not for the type of relationship we have been
labeled as.
