Peace = Love

For 3 years and 5 months of being together, I’ve realized that love really conquers all. It might sound cheesy, but it’s the truth. Being in a relationship that was tested enough by faith and time, I can say that love really brings out the peace not only to the two of us individually but also to the relationship as well.

It’s not easy to just wake up one day realizing that your partner is way too far that the only thing you can do is think of him and cry for the next two hours. But I guess, based on my experience itself, absence makes the heart go fonder. I mean, so what if were not together, so what if we can’t see each other often? As long as we both know within ourselves that we still feel the same, that we still trust each other, that we still love each other, we can conquer the situation.

Of course, there were times when I almost gave up on him, on our relationship. There were so many questions, fear and doubt that I thought I couldn’t handle that time. It’s like I felt that we can’t survive that kind of relationship. But again, love really did its purpose: to guide, protect and save a relationship.

So now, we are still together. I will not say that our relationship is perfect, because it’s not. There are still some issues and problems arising from time to time, but the good thing is, at the end of the day, we’re able to talk and settle these circumstances, out of respect and love for each other. That’s why I believe that a good relationship is not founded on who the person you are with but to what that person is. That a relationship is not just a relationship but it’s a commitment by two individuals bounded by one purpose: to love one another so as to fulfill the peace that it will bring.
