Unnoticed Gift

How far can you love somebody? Are you able to accept their flaws? Are you able to forgive their darkest mistake? Can you bear with her neediness when you yourself do not feel okay with your life? Can you strengthen yourself then take care for her wounds?

Or will you run away then leave when things are uneasy? Will you be able to love somebody when she's in dire need of it, when she's at the hardest point to be loved?

I once wrote about asking too much of love, regarding the fact we may do that every single time. We demand our partner to be A, to be B, etc. Sometimes we want everything just like what we want without realising relationship itself is a set of compromise. The idea is not changing who they are into their perfect circumstances, the idea is accepting them wholly. After series of stop asking so much, then another chapter appears, series of embracing who they are, to let loose our expectation towards how our partners will act and respond. To let loose our expectations of being loved and be okay with how they treat us. It's not an easy job. Loving someone is not an easy job that's why some people choose to drop it, to go away, without realising to love and to be loved in return itself is one beautiful gift.

We fail to recognize the beauty of a gift because we think we never ask for it. However, isn't it still a gift?

I write this after contemplating that little did we realize, it's so easy to hurt people who love us because of us being drowned by our sharp ego. Drop that thing, call your loved one, the one you ever scolded, the one you hang on the phone, the one you stop talking with cause she's annoying, the one who never stops loving you though you're hard to be loved.

Remember, hey, it is a gift for you.
