Through all my life, I’ve been cautiously chosen and deciding what way should I take. I’ve been keen to things I want to do and the chances life gives me. And through all my life, even though I was reflecting and being cautiously thinking, I still made a lot and lots of mistakes. Mistakes that I regret now. But choosing to stay by his side is not one of them.
He is one of the most significant people I met 2 years ago. He made my 2014, 2015, 2016, memorable. He is the only man who made me feel like I am his first priority. Only one that taught me that love is not just 3 words.
I was the woman who was there whenever he is at his downfall. But I was the one who tried so hard to fix him even if everyone else was breaking him. Even though at times he would be bitter, even though at times he wouldn’t show his appreciation, even though we were going to break up for good for something that should of never happened, I still chose to stay by his side. Even if it was the cause of my pain, I still chose to stay.
He was too broken and aching in pain and no one extended their hand to help him. He was too broken, he couldn’t see it himself, so maybe, that’s my excuse on staying, or maybe not. I chose to help him fix himself, his heart, his confidence, his trust, I chose to fix his whole being that’s why I stayed. Even if it was the main reason why I was killing my heart in deep pain. Even if it was the cause of all of my tears, I still chose to stay.
I made mistakes that later on in the long run, I caused his pain. He also forgave and stayed by my side, thank God for that. He was somehow loving me in a way that is not usual with my past relationships. Maybe some of you think I’m stupid for staying, I just want to be with him and fix him in any way possible. Maybe some of you think that I am too desperate, but I am not. Please, I am just a woman who wants to be with someone who needs to be saved. I need to save him. He was barely breathing from the relationship he had with God.
But loving someone who is broken is like holding tightly a knife on its pointed part and stab it many times on your own body. Fixing him was never easy. Being with him was never easy. Until such point I already forgot how to be contented with my own relationship in life; my relationship with myself, my relationship with my family and friends. My relationship with God. Until I forgot how to be alone and love myself next to God.
Until I got tired fixing him and let him be him. Not for someone else but for myself. To save myself from the pain he already caused me and to prevent myself from being crushed by him. From the agony that will start if I will stay longer. Until such point I was the one broken and who needs someone to fix. I crashed and broke myself with what happened to “our relationship”.
And he never stopped pursuing the broken girl who helped him to be a better man. He stayed even if I pushed him away. He stayed even if I left him in the middle of his fall in between of our own little world. He stayed because he wants to be with me and not because it’s a must.
So, why did I choose to stay? It’s all because of I want to be with him through thick and thin.. Even if our start was a bit rough and bumpy. I stayed because he made me happy even if he was the main reason why I was totally broken before. I stayed because I simply love him, I didn’t expect it at first, but slowly but surely I was already falling even deeper for him. I stayed because I am completely in love for him now. I was born independent, but now I don’t want to be independent because I want to be with him. And now, if you’re going to ask me why did I chose him even if he destroyed me, I would simply smile.
There are no words to explain why. He was somewhat my Yin Yang. He was the one who broke me, and at the same time healed and fixed me. He made me believe that love is not always as easy as standing up or sitting on a chair. Usually love is much more complicated than math problems that I always solve in school.
I chose to stay, to be with him because I love him.
I chose to love him.
I chose him to be with always.
I love him. It was never planned, it just happened that I fell completely in love with him.
