Do we really have the right to tell when the person we are with right now is really the one? What has destiny got to do with it? I learned from someone that we make our own destiny. It’s only us who can decide with whom to spend the rest of our lives with. But when do you know he’s the one you want to be with for eternity? The kind of love worth keeping is really hard to find. Way back in my past, never did i find myself weak with any man. I took control, I gave all the orders. But i never had the control over their hearts. What made them leave me? That I do not know. Maybe I was too superior for them. Or maybe they were too inferior for me. The irony there is that I kept falling for those men who cannot even come close to the softer part of me. No, I wasn’t an ice queen. I was just looking for somebody who can grasp a deeper understanding of me. That’s when I realized what kind of love I was trying to search for. A love that is stronger than what I may seem to other people. A man of dignity and responsibility. Somebody who can tell me what to do yet never makes me feel inferior. To sum it all up, I needed a man- a real man who’ll stand by me and tell the whole world he’s my man. I wasn’t even looking for a perfect love. I was plainly longing for real love. And thank God I found him. I finally found the man who makes me feel like a real woman. It’s only now that I can say, “He’s the one”. How do I know? It’s when I am so tired and all it takes for me to have a complete rest is to talk to him. It’s when we both decide to keep quiet yet we can still feel our hearts talking to each other. It’s when he doesn’t have to be near me to let me know he’s there. I’ve learned in my lifetime so far that you can’t help who you fall for and no matter how hard you try and how much it hurts you everyday that you just want to be with him or just talk to him, you never stop trying to make him happy by the little things you say or do because that’s what makes your life worth going on for. My love for him enables me to put my deepest feelings and fears in the palm of his hand, knowing they will be handled with care. Falling in love with someone isn’t always going to be easy… Anger… tears… laughter.. It’s when you want to be together despite it all. That’s when you truly love another. I’m sure of it. Yes, there will always be the ups and downs of a relationship. It’s the way that you hold on to each other that counts. Having him in my life just makes a big difference in my being. The love that I feel for him allows me to surrender myself completely. Manipulation stops with him. I think more about him than his reactions to me. I dare to reveal myself fully. I dare to be vulnerable. Being inferior to him never felt this good.  After some time, I’ve come to realize that the secret of love is seeking variety in your lives together, and never letting routine chords dull the melody of your romance. And he’s just so good at it. At last, after a long time of looking for the man I want to grow old with, I finally have him. I’ve only known him for a few months, I know. But that doesn’t matter. And I actually don’t care. What I know is that I’ll be having him for eternity coz neither of us is letting go. Everyday just gives me a new reason to love him. I may have fallen in love several times before but it never felt this real. He taught me to trust with all my heart and to love without any doubt. He made me realize that being weak in front of your partner isn’t that bad. I get my strength from him. He gives me every reason to smile amidst my sorrows. He does it all by simply showing me that he cares. And for the first time in my life, I have come to the thought of forever with a man. I didn’t believe in eternity until he came into the picture. Because of this, I’m doing all it takes to get to forever with him. God gave this man to me and I’m never letting go…not now…not ever…
