Long Wait.

Perhaps it is true, that love comes along when you least expect it. I have been in the Singles Club for the longest time and waking up one day realizing that I no longer belong in it feels quite untrue.

My current love story is the kind that most writers don’t write about. It is not your typical boy-meets-girl but it feels a lot more real. It is more genuine. It is the kind that brings back my self-respect and value, an ideology that teaches me how to be selfless, and a strange force that allows me to have it in control. Everything feels different now; it gives me a light and happy feeling.

I don’t think I can exactly tell how I got here, but I am sure that the reason for the smooth sail of our newly born relationship is when we keep things simple. Less drama is always healthy. I notice from my past experiences that I often intellectualize everything; thinking of the future circumstances right away without even knowing where I am at as of the moment. I read between the lines without reading the lines first. And so I realize, the key is to simplify.

Last night, we went to church to attend the mass for Ash Wednesday. It felt so surreal to have him right there beside me as he held my hand while we prayed. When he kissed me on the forehead as we exchanged “peace be with yous”, I knew that at this point in my life, I am where I am fated to be: to be with a gift that God and fate prepared for four long years, just to be with me.

Perhaps it is true, that when love hits you, you will forget that you ever waited... and that the wait will be so worth it. :)
