An open letter
They say you cannot love someone every day.
But I say, love is a choice you make time and time again.
This is to give you a heads-up. I’m telling you now: she’s half-calm, half-hurricane. Yes, she’s got blue skies and sunshines but she, too, has occasional rains — sometimes soft, sometimes torrential. Because of that, she may come across as generally difficult. It’s easy to stay through the calm. I hope you stay even through her raging storms. Please, please, love her through it all.
The previous one didn’t.
She is tough to deal with. So to love her, be tougher. Love her not only when it’s easy or convenient. When she is hard to love, love her even harder. When she can’t love herself, love her for her. There will be days you feel you are less in love, especially when you see her at her worst. It’s easy to leave, but choose to stay.
Choose not to run. Be patient with her. Give her chances after chances until she gets it right.
Until she loves you right. Believe she can be better. I promise, you will have her at her best.
It’s easy to give up on someone when they are being difficult or the worst version of themselves but I hope you don’t give up on her.
The previous one did.
Don’t be another heartbreak. The last one broke her almost beyond repair. I hope you will not run out of love. The last one did.
I did.
I ran out of love, ran for the hills for dear life.
People come and go, they say. But please, to the man who will love her next, be someone who comes and stays.
If it isn’t too much to ask, continue doing what I couldn’t. Continue loving her for me.
