And so they say that "absence makes the heart grow fonder". True enough I must say. I will not claim that I am a witness to a thousand relationships that went down the drain just because these couples get into something that they're not prepared for and drop each other like a hot potato simply just because...I never realized until I was neck deep into it that it's not just all about I love you's and being sweet and snuggling up to your partner.Getting into a serious relationship means embracing the annoying habit your partner keeps on doing, little things that sets you off when he/she just had a big fight with you over something so small like lifting the toilet seat or closing the door behind you.But once your partner is gone you miss these very same things that annoy you and you'd start wallowing in self-pity and begin to be melodramatic about everything: "'pag andito siya hindi niya isasara yung pinto..." and all of sudden you're reminded of his absence then follows the "how i wish" list!
Bah!
Love...who can ever explain that in plain english (tagalog?).
What I've learned so far is that one can never be in love and be wise at the same time. But of course there's always an exception to the rule. I'd rather not name names here...it's the "syndrome" who's the only person I know who is capable of doing that!

"LOVE MAKES THE PAIN GO AWAY NO MATTER HOW GREAT THE PAIN IS. BUT SOMETIMES PAIN MAKES THE LOVE GO AWAY NO MATTER HOW GREAT THE LOVE IS!"

I myself can prove how true this statement is "absence makes the heart grow fonder".... I suppose every person here who'd been so in love at one point in their lives felt this. Especially if the person who once had been part of your life wasn't only considered a part of you, but you grew and get used to having that person beside him/her every step of the way. Forgetting someone you've grown to love is like remembering someone you've never met, it's that hard isn't it? And the hardest part of it is when the person you used to call 'mine' is not anymore 'yours', then suddenly memories will come back haunting you... the things that you used to do together, the places you usually go to and of course the memories of laughing and crying together.

Love can never be explained word for word... The best way to know what love is, is to experience one.
