How I fell in love..
|
Everything in my
life was going as good as could be expected until it came down to
the last month right before leaving for college. I was stuckup, I
had to make a decision and it had to be very fast. My mother and
cousin at the time helped me through all my decision making. Finally
even though I was scared I made my decision to attend a University,
then came time for me to leave. My cousin and I made one of the
hardest choices I had to make that summer, should we try to work
things out so far away? We came to the conclusion that if we were
meant to be together it would work, and it did. That is until I met
Nick, 5'8", brown eyes and hair. It's not what you would call
love at first sight at all, I wouldn't even say we were friends at
first. Actually I could not stand to be alone with him, he was loud,
rude, and showed no interest in me at all. As the year progressed we
were almost forced to spend more time together, you see we both play
in the University we attend and on all the road trips we always
ended up hanging out together because all our friends were friends.
Little by little I thought that he actually was a nice guy. We
became friends and would be together a lot. He helped me through
everything, specially, when I missed my boyfriend the most. He would
always listen to me. Three months past faster then I expected and my
cousin came and surprised me at college. I was so excited, but at
the same time I felt different. He spent a week in town and he kept
asking me what was wrong and told me that I had changed. I just said
nothing was wrong because I really did not think anything would
change. I just wasn't ready for this, not ready to be faced with
what I was going through without even knowing. I was slowly falling
into love…unexplainable with Nick. I had no idea what was going
on. We all went out one night and everyone was dancing. I still to
this day could not tell you what came over me, but as I was dancing
with my cousin I began to cry. I missed Nick more then anything in
the world, it is true what they say that "sometimes the worst
way to miss someone is when they are right there and you can't have
them" I understood how that felt that night more then ever. I
had to leave the dance floor, it was dark so my cousin did not
notice I was crying but he stayed behind dancing with some friends
of mine. I walked to Nick and without thinking I said "I can't
do this," he said "do what?" I said "I can't be
without you!". He didn't say a word, but I did not want him to.
From then on we have been together, not always being the easiest of
times but always the best. Things did not work out as everyone
expected, but for me it was exactly, what I was looking for. I was
looking for love the entire time and found it for all the wrong
reasons until I met Nick.

Take a piece of my heart:
|
It was one
bright morning a boy was standing in the middle of town proclaiming
that he had the most beautiful and fresh heart in the valley. A
large crowd gathered and it agreed that it was his heart, the
perfect heart. Because, it had no marks, no defects, and no scars on
it. The crowd agreed that it was the perfect and freshest heart that
they had ever seen. The boy was very proud and boasted more loudly
about his beautiful, fresh, and perfect heart.
Suddenly, an old man appeared in the crowd and said, "Why your
heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine?" The crowd and the
young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly. It
was full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed, and
other pieces put in. But they didn't fit quite right and there were
several rough edges.
The
people murmured - how can he say his heart is perfect…how can he
compete with the young heart? And so on. The young man looked at the
old man's heart and saw its condition and laughed. He said,
"You must be joking. Compare your heart with mine, mine is
perfect, and yours is broken and full of wounds and tears."
"Yes"
said the old man. "Yours is perfect looking and I would never
deal with you. But you see every scar in my heart represents the
person to whom I have given my love- I tear out a piece of my heart
and give it to them and often they give me a piece of their heart, I
fit into the empty place of my heart. But because the pieces are not
exact, I have some rough edges, which I appreciate because they
remind me of the love we shared together. Some times I have given my
heart away and they didn't. So, I have some empty scratch. Although
these scratches are painful, reminding me of love I have for these
people. And I hope someday they may return and fill the empty spaces
they have caused that I am waiting on to be filled. So, now do you
see what true beauty is, it comes with sharing and giving?"
The
young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks, walked
up to the old man and took a piece from his heart and handed to the
old man with his trembling hands. The old man took his gift and
placed it in his heart and took a piece from his and placed it in
the wounded young man's heart. It fits but not perfectly, as there
were some rough edges. The young man looked at his heart. Not
perfect anymore but more beautiful than he ever saw. Since love from
old man flowed to his heart. They held their arms and walked side by
side together.

Cyber found Love
|
I met Maria on
ICQ. That was in 1998 and i was just a grade 6 little kid. At first
I don't have any feelings on her. I stopped calling and chatting
with her when I was in grade 8 and i nearly forgotten who she is.
Things started to grow up when in 2001. I don't know why suddenly
she appeared in my ICQ contact list again. It started with normal
conversations until we became net good friend. Later we are really
close and getting closer each day by each day. I started to have
feelings on her because I felt that she's the one who can make me
feel happy and feel she's everything to me. But she kept telling me
that she still love her ex-boyfriend. Even though I'm loving someone
else but I still think that one day I'll be with her and I kept
telling myself that me and her is just good friend and the feeling
that I have for her is just a good friend feeling. I just want to
meet her one day. Luckily, God helped me. I think this is fate. I
asked her out on my birthday night celebration. I don't know why I
called her... and I should thank my mobile phone because my address
book contains her mobile phone number and it's the first one when I
pressed the button. So I called her. We went out that day with some
other friends. I felt so happy but all I had for her at that time is
the 'good friend' feeling.
But later on, we went out again. I found that I really love her and
I just want to be with her. We went to work together as well and oh
yeah... working can help people grow their love… trust me...so…
after we worked together...I felt the love feeling grow more and
more.
The
conclusion is love can make someone change into a better one. I
still keep everything that she gave to me and every word that she
said to me. I always love her and let her feel safe with me...I want
to thank God for everything that He gave to me.

My Canadian love affair
|
I sold all my
things and my mother's sofa set to go to Canada. I was'nt eligible
for immigration as I had learnt and so decided to take a visit visa
and depart with my friend who was already living there and on a
visit here. The harshness of the cold weather constrains a lot of
things we can do here. It limits your mobility, your work habits and
your outings. I soon found myself more or less like a prisoner
living in my friends house with his family. The employment situation
was also not so bright. Very depressed but happy with the change in
my life I kept searching and finally came across a job in a
janitorial company which I gladly accepted. It was the neighbors
friend with his own company who hired me as a supervisor for
Canadian $ 6.00 per hour which is not that bad. My task was with the
wax machine which was rather heavy, polishing the floor and ensuring
all other team members finish their work in the allotted time. This
is where I met Leticia, she was very sweet, her sight delighted me
and each day the fondness kept growing. I became so fond of her and
got so close to her that I started spending more and more time with
her. I moved when I had enough money to pay rent and started sharing
a house where smoking, drinking, pets and plants were not allowed,
Leticia would be with me a lot. I would go shopping for her and buy
her the things she liked. One day I don't know what happened she
started loud noise...till the land lord learnt that I was hiding her
in my bedroom and finally I was given a choice …either her or me
out.. I was disturbed… did not know which way to go and where to
turn, on one side my loneliness and on the other the rules, so being
a good boy I decided to drop Leticia to exactly where I had found
her and one day said good bye to my good friend of my lonely times
with a kiss and a big hug and put her favorite biscuit in her mouth
all she could say is woof… woof.
