Crazy, Cupid, Love

Prologue

Falling in love; you know you are when you spend hours thinking of that one person that can change your emotional stability, make you downright happy - like your whole world has been turned upside down just by seeing their wonderful smile. It's when they're the last thing you think about when you're about to sleep, and the first one when you wake up.

'Love is a very complex thing - something very difficult to understand,' some say. But for me, it's never been like that. Love is one of the things that makes butterflies flutter in your stomach. It's that most spectacular, indescribable, deep euphoric feeling you can ever have for someone. Love makes you do anything for the other; makes you trust each other with your lives. You always want to keep the other truly happy no matter what it takes because him being happy will make you happy, too. It's almost crazy; love can make you do anything and sacrifice so much.

I believe in those fairy tales our parents used to tell us when they tucked us to bed when we were kids. I believe that someday, my prince charming will come for me and sweep me off my feet. I already imagine myself with someone while having long walks on the beach during sunset and a romantic dinner under the moonlight. I see myself being crazy with someone, dancing under the rain, then cuddling in a couch under thick comforters with a cup of hot chocolate in our hands. Sometimes, I feel like I'm a princess waiting to be carried off into the sunset.

Can you blame me? While I was growing up, I was fed with these things by my mother, so at the age of 8, I started waiting for my true prince. Of course, I already dated a few boys and I always thought each of them were the one I've been waiting for - the prince I always pictured in my head; but I was always wrong. I always got my heart broken. But that never stopped me from finding my true love. I'll wait for "the one," even if it takes forever.

Or so I thought.
