Excerpts from a conversation with Vivian in April
I believe that love is a two-way thing. It only exists when the feeling's mutual. It is an extreme rarity to find two people who are equally in love with each other, at the same time and place, and live happily ever after. So, what are the rest of the human population going to do?
There are some people in this world who choose to devote their lives in making the person they love happy; so much that they don’t mind if he/she is giving more than one’s receiving. They simply find joy in it.
Love is not about marrying the person you love most. It is about which path you choose and learning to be content with the decisions you have made. There is no clear line being drawn between right or wrong when it comes to love.
Regrettably, more often than not, the plans for our so called "love"-life do not turn out as we've dreamed for. In most situations, strong feelings of affection are not returned, polygamy is involved, and/or fidelity is absent. Individuals get hurt and as a result, many are willing to settle for something (a lot) less than love, ie. security, gratitude, companionship. I see myself slowly deviating towards that direction.
Noone can know when you are going to find that true love you are hoping for, or whether you can actually find it or not. As much as we dream of it to be, love is not a fairytale.

So this explains why I can love you from a distance and be happy seeing you happy.

A philosopher once asked, "Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?". Pointless really. Do the stars gaze back? -Now, that's a question.
A zodiac constellation is watching me.
And I smile.
Show me the star that leads to you, cause that's the path I wanna be on.
Knowing that one of them shines like you,
Leads me like a moth drawn to a light.
Searching my way into the night.
