I Like You Forever

There was a guy, and there was a girl. She believes in God, and so does he. Even so, the kind of God they both believe in are somewhat similar but not the same. They both love indie bands and hip hop, a wide scope of music if we were to name them all. The both are people who loved words, words and words. They exchanged poetry and lyrics in their early conversations. Besides that, they both also talk about a wide range of topics. From serious discussions on life, love, politics, beliefs and principles, all the way to silly jokes and lame puns. They got along pretty well, in fact they got along too well within a short period of time. They started to share more than just conversations. They shared food, time, spaces and to some extent they have started to share their lives.

This two person, are similar people who has failed a lot of commitments. People who had repeatedly screwed up important things in their lives, who have held themselves at a point where it becomes unreachable to some, who guard themselves strictly, who tries very hard to be independent, who are masters of empathy. Nonetheless, they both trusts deeply in what life has to offer with hopes of good endings. So when two strong people starts to unite, then comes the weaknesses. Questions like; who is going to give in first? Who will become the more mature one? Who will be the one fighting harder for the other in order to achieve both their personal dreams?

There is a big distinction between Love and Like. Since both of them are people who are very self-aware, they never loved but they liked each other. They both believed that if you love someone, you should open up and allow them to touch every part of you. Really, how to actually get there? How do they learn to love? How far will this thing they are having between them go? How hard will they fight for each other and how much will they ever give up for each other without love?

You see unlike Love, Like is temporary. You might put them as your priority today, but you will have a high possibility of waking up the next day realizing that you don't want to do all those things anymore. You just don't like them so much like how you used to. You only liked who they were, before the changes and exchanges happened. That, would result to either party to make excuses for each other. Point out flaws, become intolerable towards one another. The feelings just happened to stop, the efforts disappear into thin air.

However love, it is what makes people keep going in a relationship between two. It is somehow like a vow to one another, you might lose interest once in a while, get tired, get bored but it won't be worth it to lose the whole of it. It would most probably leave you feeling empty as a hole in some corners of yourself. So when you Love instead of Like, you will then learn how to rest instead of giving up. You will allow yourself to breathe and keeping on challenging yourself pushing yourself off your limits and comfort zones breaking your principles in order to fight for something you love.

So what will happen to the two people? Will they find love somewhere between each others skins and bones? Or will they just stay in their comfort zones and continue doing the same for the rest of their lives?
