You Don't choose who to Love

We all experience love differently.

For some it is that first glance that turns into an all-consuming pitfall.

For others it is the addition of tender touches, looks filled with mischief and understanding, which slowly turns a stranger into the most important person.

For my mother, it was a passion that made everything else feel worthless.

For me... it was simply forbidden. I guess that is what made it so exciting to pursue.

However, you experience it, if it leaves you feeling numb or as the happiest person alive; the one thing we all share is that you cannot choose whom you fall in love with.

I fell hard for the person I shouldn't have. Maybe unconsciously it all began as a way to avenge my father's broken heart. On the other hand, fate wanted to have a good laugh at us meeting under the circumstances. However, it started, I couldn't help loving him. Nevertheless, I could help how it all ended.
