Cursed by Love

Questionable situation

For three years straight, she was head over heels for someone.
Her love kept growing, yet she found no peace. Their love was challenged by distance, causing the person to drift away, perhaps dictated by fate.

Moment by moment, she sought answers to her questions, only to realize that love comes in various forms,

"Distance doesn't diminish it"
"It can be unconscious or involuntary"
"Love, when sudden, knows no bounds"

But love has its dark side too.

It can either awaken or numb someone, and it has the power to build or destroy

She pondered whether her emotions were genuine affection, destined connection, or simply a cruel twist of fate.

A Curse

Each possibility tugged at her heartstrings, leaving her lost in a sea of uncertainty.
Was this love meant to lift her up or drag her down? Was it a beacon of hope or a dark cloud looming overhead?

As she searched for answers, she couldn't help but wonder if her feelings were a blessing in disguise or a curse in disguise.

As time passed, she changed profoundly.
She used to believe crying over someone was pointless, a waste of her emotions.
But as days went by, she changed.

Now, just hearing his name made her break down completely, crying uncontrollably.

Not being able to control her emotions showed a significant change from her past self.

One day, she bumped into the very friend who once cursed her of being overtaken by unwanted emotions.

It was a twist of fate that highlighted the irony of her situation
She claimed to hate love, yet she found herself helplessly attracted to this man.
Her emotions were so deep that when she looked in the mirror,
She saw not herself but him. In her lonely moments, she would imagine herself chatting with him, picturing their life together.
And as she became more attached to him, she began to dream of him more frequently.

These experiences just made her more sure that even though they were apart, he felt the same way about her.

Now, facing her friend, she uttered,

"See, your curse has not only ensnared me but torn me apart. I've fallen for the one furthest from me, the most unreachable. It's like he's close, yet still so far away, leaving me here hanging on, waiting for him to return so I don't wither away.

Was this your wish?

To see me become a mere shell, trapped in a love I once despised?

Perhaps you hoped I'd remain in perpetual tears. Well, congratulations, your curse and this unexpected love have indeed brought forth more tears than I ever thought possible."

Her friend's words hit hard, "Don't get me wrong. When I cursed you, I wasn't in my right mind. You didn't see what I was going through." But before she could finish, she interrupted, "Look at me now. You wanted to see him, and you did, but for me, it's like you said, that I long for a glimpse of him,
Now, my dear, I'm living in that same pain."

Tears keep falling, but they don't heal the ache,
Silence used to bring peace, now it's a torment inside,
Luck seems to have abandoned me completely, leaving me lost in sorrow.

"Forgive me," her friend pleaded, "I had no idea the words of lovers held such power, whether in prayer or in curse."

"But trust me," she continued, "I never cursed you with malice in my heart. As soon as I regained my senses, I withdrew those words. I can't fathom what you're going through, but if any of it is because of me, I am deeply sorry."

In response, she countered, "Had you not uttered that curse, would I have fallen in love?

Perhaps not,

But I played a role too. It's not just your curse that led me here

I willingly embraced it. That curse wasn't from you, but from the very concept of love,

... which ensnared me in a treacherous trap
