Maybe

          Will you elope with me?

An indecent proposal from the guy I loved from the past. We were young and reckless then. I loved him so much that I nearly said yes but I begun to think,  is love really enough?

Years have passed and I can say I made the right decision. I’ve seen my friends got pregnant, got married, eloped but they weren’t able to invest for theirs and their family lives first. And the main point is they’re not happy. I see them struggling through their lives coz money isn’t sufficient, emotions weren’t stable, and love, they forgot how to love each other. They were full of love then but it only proved me that love is never really enough. Not enough to buy diapers, food, or even your leisures. Love deteriorates through time. I have never known or even seen a couple that lasted. For some, even though it lasted, I can’t see the love and glitter in their eyes like they should be. I can’t see those sparkles, the magic. I asked myself, where did it go? Maybe it’s just me, thinking hopeless about the magic of love and relationships. Maybe, I haven’t really found the person that would really place that sparkle to my eyes, sweet smiles to my lips, beat to my heart. Or maybe, I’m just got hurt really badly in the past that I can’t seem to let go and heal. So many “maybe’s.” Well, maybe if someone would come along and find that magic with me, then maybe, I could write about love and magic and sparkles and smiles. Let’s see if I can say that love is enough by that time. Maybe, you could be the one to prove me that love is really enough.
