“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that’s what you’ve given me. That’s what I’d hoped to give you forever…”
– Noah Calhoun, The Notebook
Nicholas Sparks
Not only does first love, but also true love never dies! I couldn’t believe how miracles happen because of two persons having the best feeling in the world. Regardless of conflicts and distance, love remains constant and growing.
There were a lot of times I cried with all my heart as I put myself in the shoes of Mrs. Allie Calhoun, the former Miss Allie Hamilton. Whenever I watch films, I always see to it that I am the protagonist. I am the protagonist in whatever situation that may seem so I really felt that spectacular feeling to be with the one I love, whom I can share my life with. And how life-changing it is to be away from him for years but the love, still, goes on…
How I love romance stories, esp. those of Nicholas Sparks! Tragic, yet, unconditional. I wouldn’t think twice if those kinds of love still exist nowadays because I admit to being a witness to them – my mom and dad’s unconditional love. Moreover, I knew it. Now that I am eighteen years of age, I already found my own…my only first and true love. First love and true love have been widely discussed in all forms by people from different walks of life. What is really true or when does one really ends? That, you can’t call it “love” if it was never true. Just think about the logic. You must not call it “love” if it didn’t exist or you fell in love it the second time with a different person. Whatever your views are, I believe that first love is true…or LOVE is true.
Today marks the eleventh month of our love. We went our separate ways for peculiar reasons, as I’ve said, but this could not impede the love that we had. Like Noah and Allie, our youth was one of the best time of our lives. This was when we first laid eyes on each other; when we first felt the ecstatic moments of electricity, and when we first learned wiping each others’ tears when the world seems crashing, too.
He was my first love – the only man who could make me laugh when I am bursting out of anger. He was my bodyguard – he protects me for all intents and purposes. He was my best buddy – all the days of our lives can’t pass without us, eating together. He was my diary – I write to him through his heart. We have distant spaces but our senses collide thru the moonlight. Finally, he was, he is and he will be my forever ONE, TRUE LOVE. 11 months and still counting, GOD is our witness. Decades will past but our love for each other will last.
It’s a miracle, then, how this (The Notebook) movie had made me realize how blessed I am to have him in my life. Now, I think, I got the greatest gift! He is my treasure, my life’s only wish. I would forever love and cherish him. We would continue venturing to our MORE than forever journey.
You want to join us? Watch the movie, first, and be amazed how pure, kind and patient love is! Thanks. 🙂
(To my one true love, happy 11th! Sorry for the times I made you feel alone. You know I never left. No days or nights passed without you crossing my mind. We had silly, little fights (and more fights will ensue) but our love is all that matters! Stay tough, my love. Love endures. Love waits. Love lasts. And love will keep us alive! Ha-Ha!)
