Alice Walker once said that love should not be worked hard for. You should wait for it, and when it comes, you should embrace it and honor its existence. But more than that, I believe that we love because we just can’t help it and we don’t choose who to love. They come when we feel like giving up.

I might sound obscure for you might think that I am a happy-go-lucky woman. You might even find it peculiar for you might also think that I am a strong person; invincible and uncapable of loving. And I might surprise all of you now if I say, LOVE is a verse and I have memorized it ♥

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been loving the same man since I was 15. And yess ♥ I never felt so complete until the day he knelt down infront of me and asked me to be his girl ♥ Love may be described in Corinthians 13 but let me share to you the most valuable lesson I have learned n the course of love.

I have learned that EVEN THE STRONGEST PERSON IN THE WORLD WHEN INLOVE COULD CRY. Love was never a compromise, it’s just the acceptance that someone other than the self is existing. There were bumps along the road. Sometimes we stop, but it was NEVER a reason to let him go, never a reason to let “us” go.

In all the times I thought I was a failure, he was my number one fan. And through all the lessons I didn’t want to learn, he was there to make me understand.  And if life would ask me to cry for him, I’d do it over and over again if it means proving to him how much he means to me ♥

Corny as it may seem but it is one facet of my life that I am proud of. What I am just trying to say is that, in this world of MMS, Facebook and chat, love is never a lost phenomenon. It will continue growing and flourishing. It will never run out of style, it will never get old, it will never lost its value. For the BEST FEELING in this world is still TO LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY AND TO BE LOVED UNSELFISHLY.

Friends, ladies and gents, these are the reflections of a woman changed by love. I don’t know what the future holds for us but I am happy than I’m still his baby and he is my man. And now, I am proud to say that I LOVE HIM, HE LOVES ME, well, it is the end of story 🙂

PS. But I let go.

Disclaimer: This is my first ever speech for a speech comm class. This has many faults now because things have totally changed but I just want to save this as a reminder that I once shared something  this corny in front of a whole class– which has to be my not-a-happy-ending-story after all.

Found this on my Facebook profile notes published five years ago. Yes, you know the dread and shame. 😀
