If you have to love, don’t.

"If you have to love, don’t.

Especially if the one you’re going to love doesn’t love you back. Unrequited love must not fill a space in your existence. Unrequited love sucks, hurts and kills. Don’t read between the lines of sweet text messages he sent to you. Don’t dwell on the memories that you had with him, because most definitely, he is not dwelling on them, either.

Don’t fall for him. To fall in love with him will be an awful blow to your vulnerable emotions. Because surprise, surprise, he doesn’t reciprocate the feelings. He is just sweet, remember? Assuming that someone loves you is the most stupid reason for propelling oneself to love.

So don’t assume. And if it happens that you really don’t, but you have the urge to love the guy anyway, because whoa, the guy is a catch, try your hardest to control the feeling. Better stop now than endure a thousandfold pain later.

Love is the sweetest thing, I know. It’s the greatest feeling. That is, if the one you love loves you back. There can’t be anything better than that. But if the situation is wherein you’re falling for someone who just considers you as a friend,that’s a different story.

As much as possible, evade from those heart-wrenching situations. Love is hard to control, but try anyway. Give your best shot at falling out of love. You’re lucky if you detect the absurdity and the pain of unrequited love right away, because it spares you from going through a lot of hell. All you have to do is simply occupy yourself with other things. Have fun with your life.

You will fall soon, and this time, you will not get hurt, because he will reciprocate the feeling. It will not be now, but it will come in due time. Love is all about sacrifice, giving one’s self freely, with no strings attached, you say. Hell, I know that. I know love is supposed to work that way. Love is really supposed to hurt, but that’s what makes love "love".

But, this is my stand. And I know you respect that. Love has pained me so much to actually believe that it is better to have not loved at all."
