heart-shaped lock

Once, you were in love with him. You saw his best side, and you tried to exchange his best side with yours. You tried so hard. You flattered yourself that you might have a “happily ever after”. However, that kind of thing only happens in stories. It was not your fault; you know how valuable your heart is, yet you tend to give it to someone who does not know how to cherish it. You had been hurt so badly; you did not smile all the time anymore. You said goodbye to each other with two painful hearts.

They say you should love someone who loves you more than you love him. You thought maybe you might have your “happily ever after” this time. Although you made some rules to follow, you were not happy. You thought you could smile if you accepted someone you do not miss. You thought you would fall in love with him eventually. But, you have learned that love is a feeling, and you could not fall in love by making rules. You said you wished happiness for each other with two uncompleted souls.

So you said you do not want to fall in love with anyone anymore. You lost your confidence, your purpose. You thought maybe you were not good enough to have a “happily ever after”. Oh dear, happy is not about how good you are, but about being with that one who can see your goodness and cherish it. You will fall in love with “the one” like you fell in love with him. Only being with the one who can see your best, and both of you being willing to face difficulties together, will make you live happily ever after.

It is not easy to love, be loved or be in love with someone. But do not be afraid, I know you are brave. Please remember that you deserve better; please treasure every moment. Do not give up on being happy. You might be hurt again, but do not worry. I am here for you; I will always see your best and cherish it. I will never leave you; I will love you forever. I can guarantee you that I am willing to face every challenge with you. So please love me with your all heart, and you will happily ever after- because I am you.
