Who:
Who I fell in love with, was guy who I met a few times. We didn’t become friends instantly, but after a while things just fell into place. He was a family friend, who lived in the same area as I did. At first I thought he was another person that I would meet and soon forget. But over the course of time, something about him made me want to get to know him better. I don’t know if it was the big secret he kept from me or the fact that he wanted to know me better; but in the end (whatever it was) it had helped us to understand each other better.
What:
What I fell in love with, was his personality. His humour. His views. He was different from all the other guys I’ve met. Based on what my parents would call ‘acceptable’, he met all the criteria.It was funny because through him, I learnt a lot more than I ever did. What he did was; he helped me understand his world a bit better. And I too, helped him understand my world as well. What I learnt from him gave me a different perspective on life. He helped inspired me to chase my dreams and to enjoy life.
When:
When I fell in love with, was a few summers ago. I didn’t realise it at first, but that summer became a summer of memories.Every moment with him felt like I was experiencing something new, that I didn’t know and/or had taken for granted. But the only problem was; my summer was coming to an end. We had so many people that had told us that we were perfect for one another based on our status and knowledge. But what stopped us, was the fact that we lived in 2 different lives/ worlds. Even though we may have created wonderful memorises, it was the fact that those memories would just be memories of the past.
Where:
Where I fell in love with, was in a totally different world from my own. From the moment I came into his world, it felt like a new experience. He helped me to understand my past, present and future. I too,gave him a different perspective on life. I fell in love with his world so much, that when I had to leave, it was hard to say goodbye. Even though I spent a short time there, it felt like time had stopped.
Why:
Why I fell in love with, was the fact that he didn’t treat me differently. Even though we were from 2 different worlds, I just felt that at that very moment, our worlds were the same. But the one thing that stopped us; was the fact that we came to realise that our worlds cannot become 1 world and the fact that we were forced to say our goodbyes. Even though he had met my parents ‘criteria’, it was his big secret that influenced our final decision.
“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together…
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is,
even if we’re apart…
I’ll always be with you.”
– Winnie the Pooh
