Oh wow! The title may seems a little controversial. Well, I'm not specifically talking about myself since currently I am way far from the falling in love stage. I don't even plan on falling in love for these few years to come (but who knows kan?).
I had failed in love once before, and there are so many lessons I've learned from the failure. I may seem to be maturer than how I look, but honestly I am an amateur in love-ship. I can advise people on how to handle their love problems but me myself had done the same mistakes over and over again that it finally brought down the efforts in my past relationship.
Have I ever had any regret from the loss? Of course I had. I always thought "If only I could turn back the time to where we were 2 years before 'that' happened.' 'If only I could reset my mind and my memory for knowing and loving him' and 'If only we didn't even meet;. But the regret brought me nothing. It took months for me to regain my strength and to be calm over that matter. Alhamdulillah, me and the 'man' are still friends (best-friend) until today. We agreed not to hate each other and put everything behind us. Let Allah decides everything. We tried and we failed. But there's nothing impossible to happen.
Sometimes, I do ask myself. 'What if he find another love before I find one myself?' It makes me want to stop befriending him, and just walk away from his life; turn everything to ZERO. But my heart keep saying 'How long can I hide or run?'. What if one day, after years of running and hiding..we are fated to meet under the most awkward moment. Maybe he'll be my bro-in-law (who knows kan?). Maybe I'll be marrying his best friend.
Thus, I decided to be strong and be prepared for anything to come in the future. If we are meant to be together, Alhamdulillah! Since we already knew each other for years. But if we are meant for someone other, also Alhamdulillah! Because we still have the ability to love and to be loved.
But one thing for sure, I will not be a love hunter anymore. I'll wait for the moment to come.
I have heard this phrases somewhere:
"When we admire someone, do not tell him/her. It may lessen the feeling we have. But tell Allah The Greatest because He Knows who is the right one for us. Love secretly but honestly, if the love is True, it will bring us closer to Him. But if the love is nothing but lust and lie, it will drift us away from remembering Him."
Oh, did I just talk about love? Pfffftt~
