Our 2nd Anniversary
(Dedicated to my Boyfriend, though i know he wont read...)
How time flies.... It was 30th Oct 2004, when the clock just strikes 12, U held my hands in the cab on our way home... Today, we have been together for 730days, equivalent to 2years of highs n lows. We have gone through some rough times, but somehow, we still made it up eventually with a smile. The 1st year together was kinda rocky, coz we bearly knew each other and got into a relationship less than a month. Most of your friends are quite sceptical of our r/s and they felt that we wont make it through.
It must be the exam stess back then, which acts as catalysts that accelerates the chemical reactions inside us n brought us together. We were both freshies, trying to adapt to our uni lives, getting to know more ppl, n starting to enjoy life as an undergrad.... But somehow, the mugging period that we both shared turned out to be one of the happiest times that i enjoyed. I Hated mugging, but at that time, i was really looking forward to each mugging session, coz i get to see U....
N i guess those mugging sessions turned out to be quite fruitful, not in terms of my grades (haha!), but in terms of my life. I've got U, n i really get to experience wat "Falling Head over heels for you" meant. U really made me feel special, like I'm the only Gal in your world.... N You made me experience those emotions that i never felt before. I enjoyed waiting for ur sms, thinking abt U every second, laughing at the silliest things U said or even felt disappointed when U do not call.....Those were the days.... The days when i really felt that I'm In Love....
But as time goes by, things changed.... I got to know the Real U. Honeymoon period was over pretty fast, less than 2months of being tog. Then, lotsa issues n arguements began to surface. We had our differences, fights, cries, problems, cold wars and of coz, mentioning of Break-Ups to solve. You did mentioned abt Break-ups pretty often during the 1st six months of our r/s, but i preservered, gave in and compromised. U are quite a stubborn freak, but i hang on to the belief that things could work as long as we communicate and talk things out. It was a problematic six months.
After that, our r/s improved and we were both introduced to our families and friends. Your family and friends began to accept me, n my family got to know U. Quarrels n fights became lesser, and our r/s became stable. We managed to survive thr our 1st year! Haha....
Since then, we do not have so much issues to settle as we become very clear of each other's character and behaviours. Now, i really cant remember when was the last time we had a fight.... N i dunno whether is that a good or bad thing.
This r/s is So stable to a point that i find it - Boring. There are no longer surprises or sweet smses from U. Fewer great outings n fun dates... Things became very mundane and rountine. We r less dependent on each other and now, i think we even behave like an old couple. We'll meet once or twice a week juz to have dinners, sometime movies or simply stayed at ur house to spend time wif U(while u are playing ur online game) n etc....
To some, this simplicity might be a blessing. To me, i've no idea whether i can appreciate this kind of 'simplicity'. Maybe i shouldn't expect too much from a r/s and should count myself lucky as long as You did not fool ard behind my back... But somehow, i still feel that more can be done to brighten up our love life. Maybe more can be done on Ur part to make this r/s even more Special and Fun. However, i know that this will never happen, coz U r who u are, n I cant change the fact that U are not the S.N.A.G or romantic man that i hope to have. So i gotta accept for who U are.
This whole experience made me discover one thing abt myself - Either I have too much preserverance and endurance, or I'm juz totally not Strong enuff. Too much preserverance n endurance to stay in this r/s and continue to take ur shit (not often, but sometimes), or simply, too Weak to leave this r/s..... I seriously have no idea i belong to which catergory....
You r not a bad man, but i find that U are not mature enough. U are also not very sensitive to my feelings and needs, n tends to keep Your deepest emotions or thoughts to urself. You do not plan abt the future, n needless to say, U seldom express your Love or feelings to me. Our future seems very uncertain, coz we Never talk abt it and need not say, make any plans abt it.
I always have this thot - a thot tt even if I leave U one day, U might not feel lost or sad, and can carry wif life like normal immediately. Coz now, i do not know whether am I still that important to U anymore....
Like U siad, wat both of us need currently is Companionship, n maybe this is the only reason for Us being together until now. To be honest, i do feel bored abt the entire thing now and then. I know this is definitely not a healthy thot, but i juz cant help it. Now, I am uncertain of my feelings towards You. I know I still Love you, but i'm also not sure whether issit still Love like - i cant live w/o U kind, or just companionship - being comfortable wif U and do not want to risk gettin out of the comfort zone.....
I need answers to know whether i should continue with our current r/s, or should we take a break and move on with our lives - without each other. No-one can provide me the answers, but only Me n You.....
Let me know which path i should take, and whether in my future, will U be there to hold my hand and walk down the road with me?
