Cupid’s Stupid Arrow

Love is a word, which is not supposed to be defined, but felt instead. It is often celebrated during Valentine’s Day which is this coming Wednesday. During this time of the year, people show and express their love to their partners in a sweet and romantic manner. It is often called the Love Day among lovers. For me, it is like magic. But unfortunately, not everyone is feeling the enchantment. How about those people who are ‘loveless’? ‘Broken-hearted’? How do they celebrate Valentoine’s Day?Many of my batchmates already have boyfriends and girlfriends. Some of them really show their feelings in public, but some are disciplined to know where and when to show them. It makes me think that maybe love indeed has magic or something because as what I observed among my batchmates who are already in the relationship, they are doing well in the academics. I can really see the spark in their eyes and the grace in their actions. Because of love, people care and experience being cared for.‘Love enters on tiptoe but bangs the door when it leaves’. Indeed, love comes without notice, unexpected. But when it leaves, it really leaves a great impact to the person who loved. I also see this kind of situation among my batchmates. Because they loved so much, they really get hurt when they break-up. ‘Sometimes we wish Cupid to be hit by his own arrow to make him feel how love hurts’. This line in a text message makes me really think how painful love really is. In loving, one must really not give all; he must leave something for himself.But I really do not see why people cry when the person they love leaves them. There are 73 billion people in this world and they say that they cry because the remaining 72 billion 9 hundred 99 million, 9 hundred 99 thousand 9 hundred 99 people cannot replace him or her. I really see it stupid, crying over just one! You have not yet met the remaining 72 billion people and maybe the one really meant for you is there! Another thing why a person must not cry over the loss of someone he loves is that he still has his parents, his relatives, the people who love him from the beginning! Another thing is that he still has his friends. I am quite certain that friends love you too as much as your boyfriend or girlfriend loves you!I have not yet been in a serious relationship. But I cannot say that I have not yet been in love. I am in love with the Lord, my parents and all the people that love me as well. But others say that the feeling is simply different when it comes to loving someone besides these people, someone who you treat special in your life. It is really brave of me writing something about these, about love! I wonder when would I be hit by Mr. Cupid’s stupid arrow…
