i didn’t believe in love at 15, or 16, or 17,
didn’t believe that we were old enough
to really know what the word meant.
i was never into romantic comedies,
or romance of any kind, in fact,
calling anything love-related ‘sappy’.
but that was back when i was blind,
blinded by my eagerness to protect
myself from getting hurt, from falling in love.
baby, you proved me wrong.
thank you for proving me wrong again
and again and again whenever i doubted
myself, you, or what we have.
thank you for showing me what i’ve
been missing out the whole time
i was too busy laughing at others.
thank you for making me watch
the notebook for the first time this year
along with all the other nicholas sparks
movies i’d previously ignorantly dismissed.
thank you for being so perfect,
thank you for being you,
thank you for loving me.
well, we criticize and we criticize
until finally, we become one of them too.
right?
