to love is to lose
when all has been said and done (so cliche no?). when all the tears have been shed. credit cards have been paid. ugly memories have been thrown away.
when all his pictures have been discarded. when you have unfriended him on facebook and deleted his mobile number on your iphone.
we begin to realize that to love someone truly is simply to lose yourself in another person.
you try to lyk and luv (if not, just appreciate) the food, music, drugs, beer, wine, books, clothes, shoes, shows, celebrities, people, events, places, among others, that he is into.
(in turn, you also learn to hate, dislyk everything that does not appeal to his senses.)
before you know it, you share the same thoughts, you understand each other without saying a word.
then all of a sudden you are no longer you.
so that when the relationship is gone, you are left with nothing but the shell of your former self.
then the process of unlearning, unlyking, unluving, luving and lyking starts all over again.
in the end, you ask yourself: was it all worth it? shedding your own skin for another?
i may sound lyk a virgin martyr.
but it always is.
love, real love, is worth all these and more.
(but don't mind me for i am a hopeless romantic!)
