“Love until it hurts because true love hurts. So, love until hurts.”
I heard this line when we were currently attending the Adoration in our retreat. Sister Karin mentioned these words. Now, when I heard this, I was struck. True love hurts. It sure hurts.
Loving someone is like plunging into a deep blue sea. It can drown you and is difficult to fight back the waves and currents that come. It is very difficult to fight the feeling once it hit you. Once felt, love can change a person and his perceptions in life. I have heard stories of love wherein the man changed from being an irresponsible, lazy guy to a responsible man for the love of his life.
Things happen. I once asked a friend of mine why he chose this certain girl as girlfriend, I want to ask him what he found in her that could not be found with other girls, the reason why he loved her, his reply was, ”I do not know. Is there a need of reasons? There is just something in her, something in her that attracts me.” Sigh. Loving sets asides reasons.
All these can happen to you once you start loving but also in loving you get to experience a deeper pain which is more difficult to heal than physical wounds. The pain in loving is when you love this certain person but you just can’t say it. And it hurts not telling her what you feel and keeping it all to yourself. It hurts you seeing her smile and laugh so sweetly. The feeling seems to grow and grow each day and you feel you are going to collapse if one time you can’t catch a glimpse of her. And that what pains you. If one day, you get to tell her what you feel but sadly she has found her love. It hurts. Loving her so true for several months and now that you have found the chance to tell her what you feel, she has found someone else. It is so hard to recover from the pain; you feel you would not want to love again. But it is all a part of the game of love.
Another pain in loving is that when you are friends with this certain girl you really like, but one day you realize that you want more than friendship. You realize you love that person when the memory of her keeps you awake at night and dreamy at daytime. So, you tell her you love her but what hurts is that what she wants is just friendship and nothing more than that. You cry but even though because you love this person you continue to love her and wait for her. Several days pass and you finally gave up on her and continued living your life and found someone to love, someone to call as girlfriend. You are still classmates with the girl you loved before; you think your former love for her won’t revive with you having found a girlfriend. But, why does it hurt you when she talks to other guys or when she tries to be kind to you? It seems like you do not want her to be removed from the sight of your eyes. It is love, and it hurts.
Loving can either complete or break you to pieces. There is no harm in trying to tell the girl you love that you want her more than friends, but be sure to accept failures. If the girl you really love says yes to your proposal, jump for joy and be sure not to hurt her for true love happens once in a blue moon.
Love someone with all your heart even though you are not loved back in return, because in loving comes pain but do not forget , in also comes joy.##
