An Ulterior Affection

Dear reader, once again, we meet. Have you ever had a relationship with someone yet, there was someone who would never get out of your head? Ever felt the feeling of true love? If not, then you're so unfortunate as to not experiencing the feeling that only a feeling can explain. If your answer is a yes, then your life is quite fortunate. Having felt love and to love at the same time is a gift from God that could never taken from you, so treasure it as if it was your life but beware, the next paragraph is full of gloomy opinions. If you are courageous enough to read the next paragraph, then you are courageous just like a knight in front of a fire-breathing dragon, ready to fight for your life.

Loving someone is such a complicated task but what is more complicated is when you love two or more than that at the same time. What do you think about that? Isn't the girl just as stupid as a stegosaurus? For me, loving more than one isn't stupidity or foolishness, it is just an urge that even you could not stop it. Love is a simple word but its meaning is so intricate that it could be compared to a labyrinth, where a lot could go in but only few could ever go out. Some consumed by obsession or extreme love for someone.

The Look
Strephon kissed me in the spring,

Robin in the fall,

But Colin only looked at me

And never kissed at all.
Strephon's kiss was lost in jest,

Robin's lost in play,

But the kiss in Colin's eyes

Haunts me night and day.
-- Sara Teasdale

In the poem "The Look" by Sara Teasdale ,the girl had a relationship with two guys, Strephon and Robin. Yet, what was confusing about it was that, she is actually falling in love with Colin, whom she does not even have a relationship with. Isn't that actually possible? Of course, love is unexpecting, it just sprouts out of nowhere, like a mushroom on a fallen, dead log. Love, is both deadly and vivacious. Deadly, as in literally, because a lot of persons that are excessively in love with another commit suicide because of some reasons that they could not accpet. Vivacious, on the other hand, because it is full of laughter and joy because love is a feeling that is beyond imagination. Being in love isn't a curse but a blessing because it is given to a few people who are worthy of receivng it. Love is unexplainable, even scholars nor scientists couldn't explain the behavior of love. Dictionaries could explain the word "love" but only those who are experiencing love could explain to us the real meaning of the word "love". We can't also judge those persons who fell in love at the wrong time, place and person because it is not their fault why they fell in love at the first place, they just simply met "love" along the way, an acquaintance, never knowing that "love" could be a part in their lives. Loving is being courageous because you have to have the courage the consequences of being in love because there are only two things that may happen to you: extreme happiness or a mournful death. This is all for now, till next time. Monsieur Aronnax.
