You will know when the love is true!

I have so many things to thank this man for. Especially when he already saw how broken I am inside after peeling off the nice coating outside and still accepted me anyway. I could never not liked him for who he is and I know my 2020 and the rest of the years to come will be full of love.

I will be lying if I say falling in love with him was ever easy. He was the only person who made me think twice, thrice, and even a hundred times before actually believing. I was an easy catch back then, I can shamefully remember. But this man, made me think really hard if it's already safe to fall. When we started dating, I was certain that I should never again be a victim to any man and based on the few stories I already know about him I should not expect anything romantic to sprout. I was also hesitant that time as I made a bunch of mistakes in the past and I had only started testing the waters again, back to dating. So I asked many questions, investigated through the answers I got, and finally I was able to grasp the idea of what a man he is like.

I saw him sad and I saw him cry. I saw him amused by the photos he took. And I saw him worked hard to learn more. That was when I pulled myself away from him, and yet found myself drew nearer. He still is the typical guy, with the confidence and chivalry. And yet despite of him being typical, I sensed something different about him. So my interest on him grew even deeper. Later on, I realized he is already earning every ounce of trust I can give. I must tell you, he rightfully deserved that.

He is the man with so much to be amazed about - his persistence, his ambitions, talents, aspirations, hard-work , generosity, sincerity, and the never fading loving heart he has. He had been to terrible heartbreaks but never did it change a single inch of who he truly is.

He dated easy women back then like I have dated arrogant men in the past. We collided into this world when we both had enough of the games and almost lost the ability to believe in love once again. We met when both of our hearts grew tired. But magic is what I could describe what love really is.

While it was hard falling in love with him, I was surprised when staying sanely in love with him is so natural. Nothing has to ever be forced, not even our silence and distance can ever stain the love fired up from nothingness. And that was what I think as the most beautiful thing that ever happened to my life - finding someone when you are at your lowest point.

Our paths have crossed because we were on the same pit, fallen from so many wrong decisions and attempts we did in the past.

He picked up my bruised heart and took care of it. He gave me his, broken and bandaged. I took care of it, too. We were happy taking care of each other and still we are. All the articles I have read, all the advice I have heard, and all the testimonies from other couples I have witnessed were all true - you will know when the love is true! Nothing can ever measure how true the love is but you. You will really know. Just look past all the superficial promises and dig deeper to where the soul and heart is. And if the person is ought to be yours, he will be. The love will be offered to you when you least expected of it. It can come in many forms and age won't even matter at all, not even race and religion. Love sees beyond all these. Love sees the purity of one's heart where it truly belongs. And so, cheers to all the love we found!

And if I have learnt something from the past years of struggles, it is maybe this - "Sometimes a leap of faith is what you need in order to find happiness. Because if you are not to become a happy person, then what's the purpose of life then?".}
