Funny Thing

Is it possible for love to come after a relationship which is based entirely on sex at first? (And why do I feel like a Catholic girl, writing something naughty? Father forgive me for I have sinned…again.).

Funny thing. I thought I didn’t believe in love. Romantic love that is. I think its overrated. Plus I’m one of those people who gets the icky feeling when they see couples smooching in public. Oh please! I’ll get really cynical and say that it’s nothing but raging libido. Give it 3 months and they would hate each other’s guts.

Now don’t get ahead of yourselves. Maybe you’re thinking I should’ve put my bloody foot in my mouth. I’m not completely reformed. And I’m not saying that I was completely wrong, and now I’m a changed person. Well sort of. I still get the icky feeling and the cynicism for other people. But not for my case. Is that acceptable? Because I think it’s just normal. We humans tend to think that we’re way better than others. Correct I am, right?

 Let’s get back to my question. Can love replace what lust started? I think so. I’ve been “making lust” with this guy for like a year. He is a friend. With let’s just say  fringe benefits. Obviously we fell in love with each other. Not that we’re ditching lust altogether, we have to give credit to it actually.

When we decided to say,”fuck it! I’m gonna say I love you!”, I was already a thousand miles away. Sad thing. 

Now were like those countless couples who keep long distance relationships. Another tempting avenue to be cynical. But you know what? I think its about time to challenge that overrated love and see if it survives. What a brave thing!

For the meantime, I’ll treasure every text he will send me every morning to have a great day ahead, and that he loves and misses me.

Now that’s a sweet thing.
