effort
These past days I have kind of figured out a little about myself...
Been thinking about me, about me as a girlfriend; I have only had one serious relationship and it was a strong one, learnt how to love and loved with so much passion, made so many fucking mistakes, burnt myself over and over and in many senses still trying to let go.
But today this question ponders in the back of my mind…
When in love does effort come effortlessly?
Why is it that when people really like another they seem to compromise so much of themselves, or is this not true? This question rises in my mind because I have lately been finding out that my one only love seemed to have suffered so fucking much with me as a girlfriend. So many things it seems he did just to please me, just because I was a pain and so the sacrifice was made to keep me happy, or quiet at least.
Since I broke up with this guy my self confidence has become crap and honestly for many years I have been struggling, this last year I moved away from home, family and friends and have accomplished so much that I think if I really want to do something I just need to try. But… man, when it comes to love? What the fuck, I am defenitly in my circle of friends, the most fucked up girl, most complicated and questions have been blowing me away. I have never really understood how N could have loved me so intensely, there were poems, there were espontaneos gestures, there were trips to so many places I wanted, there was so much effort, there was another very important thing, there was concern and commitment, seemed like he know me better than I knew myself. So question? Will this ever happen again?
These past days I have heard this and that and I just think to myself, my god, am I so bad, so annoying, so demanding? Was I really that kind of girlfriend?
Feeling just quite like I don’t know, impossible to love, is exactly it.
Seems like there is a wave of love going around, maybe because the weather is getting warmer and so this time calls adventure, don’t know. Just lately I hear that this person is started a relationship with that person, people getting together, people getting back-together, people getting married, people desperately looking for someone special…
I feel so trapped in a circle of unsatisfaction, a circle where I feel I don’t even deserve anything at all.
I have been asking myself if I still love this guy that means so much of the world to me… but all my feelings are consumed with the fact that between us there is no future, no love in his eyes, no more effort, damn man no more commitment. I moved away so I could let this guy have a live right? So, what’s the point in holding on to something that doesn’t make me as happy as I was once was shown? That is the point?
Giving in to the softer and more pathetic side of me, where is the guy that wanted to hold my hand in the bad times also?
Are these questions coming to me due to this wave or is it because in England I had no time to ponder about shit?
Today looking at the beach, walks on the beach, romantic hugs, playfull time in the sea; today looking at a peacefull grean area, sitting under the tree in silence just hugging, today at the bar, going out clubbing, dancing, laughing, enjoying time alone, enjoying time with all our friends…
Am I still so naïve that I believe in this kind of relationship where one person completes the other and the days to be together are counted anxiously?
