Cupid's Notes

#9 Puppy Love

Puppy Love:

The love between a young couple within a few weeks of getting together. Not really true love, more blind affection - immature, young love. Typically occurs before one person becomes a bitch.

Personally, I don't agree with the statement. Blind? Immature? You are calling one of humanities greatest perks these sort of things?

Way to go, Urban Dictionary.

But puppy love isn't really love! You might say. It's just child infatuation!

You can say that, of course you can, but it'll just prove that you're old, and that you have forgotten what it was like to be a child.

See, I don't blame you, perhaps you're just too old to understand, you can no longer remember that feeling, that tingly feeling when butterflies flutter in your stomach. Maybe it's the guy that wanders aimlessly through the hallway, ruffling his hair as he passed, leaving you soaked in the smell of his cologne. Maybe it's the girl that you sits next to in Spanish class, speaking so fluently with her perfect accent, and you are mesmerized by the way she aces every tests so effortlessly.

But being old, does not give you the rights to deny others' feelings.

Who are you to say it's not real?

Well who are you to say it is?

...I'm the cupid...

...Oh..

*Clears throat* Anyway, no one should have the right to tell others how they should feel, no matter how old and mature you regard yourself as. (Although if you think you have the rights to deny and control children's emotions, I doubt your maturity.)

I've seen parents scolding their children for having thoughts that are so called "not appropriate for their age"; teachers oppressing their students when they made a sudden confession to someone, the despising glances shot to the adolescent couples holding hands in public; or even children, children brought up so strictly to the point that they blame themselves for having the emotion called "love".

It is sad, honestly.

Maybe the person they're dating is not their soul mate

Maybe they can't last long.

Maybe children can't bear the responsibilities of the word 'love'.

Maybe

But perhaps the person they are with is the childhood friend that has walked by their sides for 13 years, and will continue to walk down the road of life hand in hand.

Perhaps they are thought to be a pair of star-crossed lover, but will eventually crawl up the rubble of others' despise, they will, one day, see the light of the sun shining onto them, blessing them with showers of rays.

Perhaps despite their young age, they know the word 'love' better than all the arrogant adults. Despite their incapability on standing up for one another, they chose to stand.

Perhaps.

They can be indestructible, shatterproof, pure in their own best ways.

Oh, but those cocky, ignorant humans! They crushed the dreams of a child, of an adorable little life. They tell them love is too big of a word for them to carry, yet proceed to put down heavier weights so they won't have a chance to think about it. They tell them "Oh you'll understand when you grow older, eventually you will." or " Love is not the kind of matters that should be on your head right now. You should focus on your studies."

THEY WON'T!

They are not going to suddenly understand what's love if no one was there in the first place to explain it to them. They are not geniuses, and you can't expect them to be one, especially after you've neglected their feelings.

They are humans, and humans make mistake. They're imperfect, and that's what makes them beautiful.

Sure, I'm just a baby who claims to be a Greek mythology god, when in reality I just fly in my diapers shooting arrows everywhere. But at least, ask yourself a question before you leave.

It is true that they may go on highs and lows during their adventure to find love.

But has there ever been an age limit to start a voyage?

What do you think? Do you think that puppy love is immature and fragile? Or do you think that it can shine as bright as the Sun?
