"A letter to Love"

Dear Love,

          How are you? It's me, Luisa. I know that you know who I am, because you know every single one of us. I actually don't wanted to write a letter, but I think, this would help me release all the pain that lingers in my whole system. Your friend Time helps me recovering, it helps me realized a lot of things and look at it in the brighter side.

            The last time I saw you, you were in a face of a person that became a part of my life. That person chose to broke my heart, stabbing it repeatedly, until it shattered in a million pieces. I was holding on to you that time, I believe that you can still fix it. But you didn't do anything. Instead, you left me. I want to ask you, why? Of all the things we've been through, why did you leave me? I was out of love and you left me with nothing but pain.

             I came to a point that I don't want to encounter you again. I'm still broken, still in the process of healing, only your friend Time can tell when will I be ready again. But you're back, for the second time and in a wrong time. You even confused your own friend. Time did not predict your move, you didn't give us warning nor clues. I want to hate you, but I can't. You are one of the reason why my heart is still beating. Even how many times they break it, it's still beats for you, Love. Why are you doing this to me?

             You are now dressed in a different person, so different than the first one. But I still know you, you are still the same. You gave me the same feeling you given me the first time, but this time, I became more careful. Afraid that the person who proclaims that you're inside of him may hurt me again. I know all you wanted is to spread happiness, but some people didn't coordinate. They even use your name without knowing the real meaning of it. I don't think I'm ready to accept you again, Love. Will you wait for me?

             When I was young, I always shouts your name to almost everyone I know. It feels good when they return it with a smile in their faces. I grew up in your presence, even my family embrace me with so much of you. At the young age of 16, you introduced yourself to me, as a puppy love. You went inside of a handsome looking boy, making me feel that there's a butterfly flopping inside of my stomach. But I'm just a young girl, so I just content myself to think about it. I'm actually in love with the idea of being in love. When I'm old enough, I embrace you with so much joy. I let you conquer my whole being. But, unfortunately, it didn't last long. I thought you left, but I was wrong. You stayed, inside of me. I was just too numb because of the pain that I didn't realized that you're still there, hiding in the corner of my heart. I'm sorry, Love.

               I know all you wanted is to make us happy, contented and satisfied in our life. To make us see how beautiful life is with you in it. But people are stubborn, they took you for granted, used you to hurt others and keeps on rejecting you, can't accept the fact that you existed. I'm sorry for doubting you, Love. Will you give me another chance? I'll try it again. And I will never be afraid this time. I trust you, Love. Thank you for all the feelings you made me feel, for all the happy memories I earned because of you and for staying by my side.

Sincerely yours,
Luisa Reyes.
