How do you really know if it’s true love? Is it with the way your heart flutters? Or is it with the way your storm calms when he’s around… even just by thinking about him; you feel calm. Honestly, I don’t know. I’ve never felt love in a very long time. All I felt was anxiety… always thinking when will it end? Or if someone comes… how long will it last? How will it end? It’s saddening, I know. But you can never really truly find true love in a sea full of rocks, because pearls are rare. Some people are lucky enough to find one. But most people find shiny white rocks thinking it’s a pearl. Some know it’s just a shiny rock but still take it to replace the pearl they once had but lost. Yes, maybe there is someone meant to all 7.8 billion people in the world. One day, one will find their soulmate… their happy ever after. But what if… your soulmate was one of the 65 million people who die per year? What if your only happiness is yourself? It’s fine, honestly. But what if you miss being loved? What if you miss falling in love? And what if in time, you won’t find happiness within yourself? That’s a lot of what if’s but deep down those are the what if’s we ignore or set aside. When we get old, that’s when we go back to these what if’s and feel the loneliness creeping in. Thinking maybe if we had just held on to that pearl we once had, will we feel lonely like this? Wondering, out of all the pearls we found in our lifetime, which was the one who we should have held on to.
