Pledge of Pragma

"Great love? What's even that? What's the point of great love if you're not going to end up together?" tanong ko sa sarili ko.

"Most of us end up with someone we love, but not the love. Not the love that stirred us most deeply, and for whom our hearts swelled the most passionately."

We went from being deeply happy and in love in our relationship to sitting in front of each other, asking what went wrong. Countless times of thinking if we have already tried enough or if we can still try again or over and over again and ending up deciding to just let go. Seeing that person smiling inside the church, saying his vows to another woman, made you wish it was you. I've experienced all of that.

Did life simply send two great loves in opposite directions, or did I stay in the wrong relationship for years?
