The Greatest Fabrication

Oh yeah. More love topics (nainspire sa usapan sa tagboard. hehe)

I can still remember the first time. 'Twas the middle of the evening, yet I found myself still wide awake, a picture of a certain someone lodged in my noggin. I had no luck trying to replace that image with anything else; that certain smile incited my brain to produce enough happy hormones to keep me out of slumberville. At that moment, I was convinced. In lab si Alex.

A year later, the image was completely replaced.

I see a lot of teen couples today, engulfed in pure mushyness and goosepimples, holding hands and kissing cheeks (and sometimes lips, necks, etc.) much to the chagrin of the unfortunate, single spectators. And that's just the first-glance observation. What more if you could hear their sweet conversations?

boy: I love you.
girl: I love you more.
boy: I love you even if I didn't love you.
girl: I love you even if that doesn't make any sense.
boy: I love you even if the sun refused to shine.
girl: I love you even if we lived in different times.

Well, you get the picture. In all their sweet nothings, these lovers believe that they are made for each other, that nothing can ever come between them, that their love will last forever.

After a few months (or years) they broke up. Reason?

boy: I'm not happy with the relationship anymore. It's her fault.
girl: This relationship is not right. It's my fault. No, wait. It's his fault.

Yet, in their alone times, you could hear them wail for the wasted moments. You could hear the boy singing Typecast while the girl croons I'll never get over you getting over me.

Their friends, in an attempt to make them feel better (and to stop their annoying drama)told them to go see other people. Unfortunately, they'll reply:

It just won't fill the void.

Eventually they'll forget the debacle and get married with other people(probably). Then when the two meet again, they'll simply exchange smiles, have a small talk perhaps, then bid each other farewell.

Ladies and gentlemen, what is love?

Long description: Love is something that is not meant to be understood nor defined, yet even in its vagueness we know it lasts forever.
Short description: Love is not romance.
