What can one possibly write down about love? It is the strangest emotion on the planet, one that nobody feels the same way about. Who is it that decides what makes a couple? Why two people should be together? Who is it that triggers such intense and passionate feelings between two people, even if they share nothing in common? What makes Love?
I always try to think of a way to explain it, but it never works. Unfortunately, this may be my very undoing. The one thing that could possibly ruin our relationship – not being able to explain why we should be together. The hobbies, likes, and dislikes we share are few and far between. Our religions are even different, yet we still love each other. We still feel compelled to be with each other. Something pushes us together. Is it fate? Is it destiny? Is it just our imaginations? I can’t even describe.. all I can think is that I love her, and I want to be with her forever. Of this, I no longer doubt. I am sure of it, for some reason I can’t possibly begin to describe.
However, that’s selfish of me, isn’t it? I tend to try to push things on her that I shouldn’t.. make her do (or not) do things that are separate from the norm… Why? Why must I force my own opinions and beliefs on her? I don’t know.. and even though I do sometimes, whether she listens/agrees or not… she still feels compelled to be by my side in some way. Of that, I’m more than grateful for. I’ve done so much to hurt her in the past, yet still she trusts me to protect her, to love her, to hold her close.
I have a few doubts about our relationship from time to time. What if she doesn’t like me anymore, or she discovers a small tick of mine she doesn’t like? My guess is that its just the remnants of my bipolarity that she’s all but cured. When I was thinking of what to tell her when I thought that she was different, or why I thought she was different. It never occurred to me. With the way our relationship is now, she is the only woman I’ve ever been with that – while we’re together – I’ve never felt the urge to cry with no reason to explain why I’m crying. I still get overly upset over smaller things, but I no longer cry for no reason. I only cry when something hurts me. And its amazing. She’s the only person who’s ever been able to do this to me. That’s why she feels like my missing puzzle piece, that’s why I feel like I need her – apart from how much I love and care about her – she actually tends to complete who I am.
Unfortunately for my romantic ways, she’s more of a logician. Where I feel people should be together because they love each other, because they grow together and their emotions affect one another, she feels that people should be together for their similarities – something we have very little (if any) of, as I wrote earlier. Because we started out as a long distance relationship, we don’t have memories that we share (apart from each other) of times in the past. Last night, I told her my very dull and dry past, because she said that we don’t know about each other’s past.. and there wasn’t much if anything to tell her. I’ve lived a very average, very dull life. The only way to change this is to make memories with each other in the future – but that doesn’t change the fact that there is no real reason for her to stay by me from a logical standpoint.
So what can I possibly do? Yuki tells me that I need to show her and make her understand that Love doesn’t need to be logical. That logic isn’t needed in a relationship. To follow your heart and accept what you feel, to be happy with the person you love. We do make each other happy in ways, but we also bring out the other extremes in each other – is that what Love is? What is Love? I can’t even possibly begin to comprehend it.
Then, there’s always the fact that we’re so young. We’re both in, what under normal circumstances would be, our first year of College. There’s so much left in the world, why should we attach ourselves to each other so quickly? That’s not something she points out a lot, but it is something other’s point out a lot, and to be honest I don’t know a good answer. All I know is mine – which is that if we wait, if we split our separate ways and “wait and see” if we end up back together, if we still love each other after so much time – it’s very possible, and almost a hundred percent likely that we’re just going to hurt each other more than we already have with our pasts.
Unfortunately for both of us, I’m very straightedge and can’t comprehend or even deal with most of what the current society deems acceptable behavior. Smoking (not even marijuana, but cigarettes!), Sex, even so much as kissing other people doesn’t sit well with me, and it becomes very hard, very quickly for me to find a way to let her past and her current situations stand without changing who I am – but I do it for some reason, some how. Is it right? I don’t know.. but it feels right.
All I can say is I love her, even with her past – and I would in the future too – but it would hurt, very very much to have to go through any of this all over again.
So, what could I possibly say to show her that our love is true – that we don’t need a reason to be together other than the fact that we deeply love each other?
