to the muse of my reflections... "waitlisted"

My Dear F

I really don’t know if you hate mushy and cheesy stuff so don’t hate me more for this…

In Paulo Coelho’s “The Devil and Miss Prym” one of his notes read: “…When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”

This led me into asking the question… “Does it take one instant, one week or one eternity to know you love a person?” That is the question I keep on asking myself when confronted by the reality of you. I just know that I have liked and loved you the first instance we met and for me to wait for time, pretending nothing has happened would simply be foolish; love doesn’t need a day or a week; for even a minute or a fraction of a second in the hands of time in love would spell eternity.

This may all seem to be overwhelming for you for I know you are new at this thing. This has been an overwhelming moment for me too and I have been very bold and straightforward in telling you this; I’m just being true to you. I really thank you for being so patient with me on this and I hold you dearly for trusting me with your love as well.

I still don’t have any answer to all of the questions, but one thing is certain I found love in you and that is all that matter.

hi doc, it takes an instant to know that you love someone. but let me digress a bit. how long does it take to decide to love someone. an instant? a week? a lifetime? ako, when it comes to love, i take time to decide. because part of deciding to love is accepting the person for who he is and embracing him fully, including the person's least desirable past, traits and/or personality. iba kasi yung alam mong mahal mo at saka yung paninindigan kong mahal ko ang taong ito. thinking aloud lang to. so far, minsan pa lang ako'ng nag-decide na mahal ko ang taong ito. am still exploring. ----introspectivetoo
