Stop Mistaking Love for Infatuation

Yes, it may feel like his voice is enough to make every nerve in your body go crazy. It may make your heart beat so fast. It may feel like you are always feeling collywobbles everytime you see him pass by. It may make you feel forelsket.

It may even feel like he is your ideal man. It may make you want to spend forever with him. It may feel like you cannot last an hour without him.

Is that love? It probably is; but, it, also, probably isn't. Love is a commitment, not just a feeling.

To love is to be willing to hear his voice eventhough it changed from a sweet to a harsh one. To love is to continually give your heart eventhough its beat isn't that fast anymore whenever you see him. To love is to be willing to miss those butterflies that you felt in your stomach during your honeymoon years. To love is to think that love shouldn't feel like new everytime, rather it should feel like it is fortified everytime.

To love is to be willing to stay despite his flaws and shortcomings that made him not-so-ideal. To love is to understand that when 'forever' ends, there is always another day to correct your mistakes; and that 'forever and a day' shall be spent with him. To love is to feel like an hour without him is okay, a day without him is also okay, because you trust and care for him enough that you are willing to give him his personal space and time.

To love is to stay even when the kilig starts to fade. To love is to always be firm in the vows and promises that you made in the beginning, when everything else still seems to fall into the right place.

To love is to commit. Commitment shall last forever... (and a day). If it is short term, it is just an infatuation. Do not mistake love for it. There is a world of difference between them.
