Finding Love All Over Again at the Sands

When love hits you hard, it will really stay for good. Or so they say. 

I never thought that at this time, I will be writing about something that I dreaded to talk about for the longest time,  and that is, being in the state of being in love and loved in return. It is a sad thing that most of the time, people tend to underestimate the power of being loved back, due to the powerful and unabashed effect of love to most individuals. I am, as a matter of fact, one of its unsuspecting victims. 

I fell in love with someone I never really had expected to be in love with. Against all odds and against all reason and doubt, this guy had the guts to really catch my attention and my discerning eye. Fate played a very tricky role this time. Been there, done that. Better without them. That has always been my motto. But, as sure as the tides and the waves and as endless as the sands of time, I am again subjected to this emotion of loving someone and being loved in return. I never expected that we would come in terms of what we are now. We started as friends, as beer drinking buddies, and as general pals. One day, when fate made its way, we didn't suppressed it but welcomed it with open arms. We welcomed the possibility of us being together and spending the rest of our lives together. 

What we have is not perfect. IT never was to begin with. We came from different backgrounds, poles apart in personality, had different life views, but hey, along the way, we definitely made sense. We may have a common ground in terms of mountaineering, wilderness rescues, technical skills outdoors and cooking, but again, it is too early to tell. But, however, our trust on each other pretty much glued us to be where we are now. 

We may have been stuck in a rut on some days, argued endlessly on petty stuff, almost called it quits and broke up after a heavy argument that resulted from a very petty reason that left me in tears, but at the end of the day, we also make sure that we patch up whatever we have left. Our feelings for each other somehow made us come back to the reason and the purpose why we leveled up from the seemingly beer drinking pals we were. If this is love, then so be it. I am deeply attached to this person and I admit, falling in love is so traumatic and so scary but I am willing to go the distance just for this special guy I hold dearly in my heart. 

We are still the infancy of our relationship, but as the saying goes, we just go with the flow. We wanted to keep things stead and we needed to make sure what we do is right for us. I do not know where we are leading to, but I will always be here for this lucky guy no matter what. He keeps me grounded and he will always be my go-to person when things go wrong in all levels.
