Is This Love Worth Fighting For?

Tweet

A woman usually has the so-called “ideal man”. I, personally have my ideal guy- someone I can be proud of in many different ways; a man I would love to see every minute of the day; a man who is willing to love me for all that I am without any hesitations; a man whom I can depend on whenever I need a shoulder to cry on; and a man who can do anything and everything in the name of love. Well that was my ideal man. I was still at the peak of my teenage years then when I met the guy whom I thought could be the man of my dreams. He looked physically amazing. In fact, he was known to be the “campus crush” way back when I was still in high school. I really admired his handsome face. He appeared to be very masculine. I couldn’t help myself but to fall in love with him. I knew I was too young that time to say that I was fallen for him. But I already felt like he was really meant for me. I knew I was born to love him. Unfortunately, he didn’t like me. Maybe, it’s because I wasn’t that good-looking girl before. He courted one of my friends and they really became lovers. It was indeed too painful for me to bear. I kept the pain deep inside me. I cried secretly so that others won’t know how badly I was hurt. I still continued to wait and I never lost hope. One day, they had misunderstandings until they reached the point of breaking up. They really did separate. I didn’t know what to feel. I asked myself, “should I be happy for I can already take part or should I be sad for their break-up? Well, that was the question that remained to be unanswered even until now. After their break-up, I tried to make myself attractive so at least he could notice me and yes, he did! He courted me without knowing the exact reason why. I didn’t have an idea if he truly loved me or he just did it for fun. But still, I grabbed the chance for I believed in what many people used to say- “opportunities come only once in a lifetime”. For the first few months of being in a relationship with him, I could feel that he wasn’t really happy to be with me. I was hurt again but I just ignored it. I struggled so much in order to win him. It took me more than a year to prove to him that I deserve him. Yes, we reached more than a year being in that state of unhappiness until I reached the point of giving up. I was thinking that it was already too much for me to slowly kill myself. And so, I gave up. For more than a month, he never did anything to win me back. And because of that, I no longer hoped. One day, I received a text message from an unknown person telling me how sorry he was to let me go. Though I already had an idea that it was him, I still told myself that he wasn’t that kind of man I thought was ideal for me. He was exactly the opposite of my ideal guy. But he introduced himself to me. He told me everything he realized since I was gone from him. I never believed him but he did almost everything I did to keep me again back into his arms. And now, I am pleased to say that we are already in our 7 fruitful years of being together and we are counting more years to come for both of us. I can now truly say that it was a love worth fighting for.
