The Right Kind of Wrong

Each has a love story. From puppy love, crushes, infatuations, engagement to wedding, we all dream our realationship to have a happy ending or no ending at all. But life, love in particular, isn't always a fairytale. In as much as we want to make it last, sometimes, it takes more than two to make it work. To defend love and brave it against convention or family's disapproval could be the sweetest and noble one could ever gift his partner. But isn't tiring and foolish to fight for something that is actually doomed from the very beginning?

Falling in love brings in one of the most wonderful feeling. Nothing compares to having someone accepting you for all that you are and sharing your times through the good and the bad. When a man and a woman falls in love, everything seems right and feels right. The world is full of colors and every mood dances cordially in the moonlight. Between the two of them, nothing else matters beyond what they for each other. They believe, that as long as they are together, they will need nothing more and nothing less. That is love. Ideally. Conventionally. Morally. And we believe and respect that.

But as they say, love moves in mysterious ways, in ways sometimes we can never explain and understand. We can never teach our heart who to fall with, when or even how. Loves comes unexpectedly, sometimes at the right place but at a wrong time, sometimes at the wrong place at the right time, even sometimes at the right place and time, but with the wrong person. But is there really something as "wrong person'? Who says who? Who decides if someone is not meant for you?

Love as a feeling between people doesn't require too much, just honest, pure and eternal admiration, trust, care and loyalty to whom you have made a commitment to be together. Loves sometimes, strikes without reasons. Sometimes, you'll just fall without care if it's love as ideally, as conventionally or as morally as what society would want it to be. You can never tell if one day you'll just find yourself helplessly in love with a married person or to someone who's already committed. You can never stop if one day you'll just end up being physically attracted and emotionally attached to your bestfriend, who happens to be in the same gender as yours. While we can say that love crosses boundaries and what matters is all that you feel, sometimes it hurts to know that it's like finding love in an enemy. The feeling is right but it's just so wrong.

Marami na akong pwedeng i-comment sa isang talatang ito. Pero hindi ko na muna sasabihin, pakiramdam ko kasi may karugtong na naman ito. Hihintayin ko muna.

Happy ba ang Valentine's Day mo dyan sa Dubai?

the feeling is so right ... it's usually the context that sucks. ;)
