In my sixteen years of life, I always see couples everywhere.

In the streets, malls,

everywhere. The only thought that comes up to my mind is “WALAY FOREVER MANGAMATAY RATANG
TANAN”. But growing up, seeing my parents with love and adoration in their eyes, I started to wonder
what really is love? Is it just a temporary feeling or is it immortal where you will do anything for that
someone?.

So, I asked my grandmother this question. What is this kind of emotion is different from a
family love? And she answered: In our lives, we experienced things like a feeling that we can’t really
point out. A feeling that is indescribable, a secureness, an affection, that we have a sudden urge to give
up things just to make someone happy. A feeling that your life is important when you’re with them,
where you don’t want them to feel sadness, a feeling where butterflies are fluttering in your stomach
when your heart goes crazy when you see them, and where your blood flows to your face when you
make eye contact. An emotion called Love.

I began to think about what my future holds, where I have a future husband. I can see
myself falling deeper in my partner, where I trust him with all my heart, where I will do anything for him.
To be his partner in crime(not in a bad way), to be my secret keeper, to whom I will share my struggles
and doubts, I can see myself that I want to be his forever where I cannot live when he's not beside me
and I can see myself feeling the emotion called love. It makes me inspired by the people around me,
Where they are in love for such a long time. Where their heart still flutters seeing their partners. It
makes me wanna feel it too. Thinking about it makes me scared, I’m scared of a feeling that is called
Love. What if I will be deserted? But no one really knows what the future holds.
