its hidden in the scars

So. What's love?
Does true love even exists?

Love, the perfect love, that is so often described in books, is it really possible for us to find it? Or do we have to settle for second best? Or what the books described are merely fantasy - humans cant find perfect love in reality hence they create an imaginary world?

Whatever case it is, i still want to believe in love. Its so beautiful, having a person that you can connect to; Having someone to depend on; Having someone to be there for you. I've never been in love but one day, i hope that i'll be able to give up my life for someone. Only then, will i know that im truly, madly, deeply in love. Some people might think its crazy to die for another person but...

"People do crazy stuff... when they are in love" - forgot-who-said-it.

The whole process of liking someone and being liked is so magical. Ok, my experiences with the latter has never been good (their feelings are not reciprocated and i'd feel weird around them because they're freaking persistent and thick-skinned =.=') but the former... its magical.

I guess its not a secret that i once crushed on a guy not too long ago. Well, i dont like him that way now but he's still special for the time being. Like your first love. You might not like him anymore now but you know that he'd always have a place in your heart. Its almost the same.

Anyway, my friend asked me what i saw in that guy and i was stupefied. I tried to think of the goodness of him but all that i came up with is... pretty much nothing except that he could make me laugh. Then again, many people can make me laugh! I've met so many guys who treats me better than him (not that he mistreated me la!), who are much cooler, who are much more handsome and yet i dont think of them that way.

In fact, if you ask me why he isn't a good guy, i can immediately answer. Which is weird. People try to find perfection in this world but when it comes to true love, perfection is secondary. What is most important is the connection, i think. Once you have that, nothing else matters. But that is only fondness, not love. Imagine how powerful love could be when having crushes are already mind-blowing!

However, as we're still young, i dont think love will strike us soon. (Im always a little skeptical about young married couples. Are they really, really in love? Or is it just a fusion of lust, infatuation and feelings?) At least for me, i dont think i will be in love anytime soon. So i'll settle for having crushes for the time being (:

What about you? Do you believe in true love and are awaiting for yours to come?
