Random thoughts on love.

I've recently noticed that in falling in love, you'd tend to look for yourself in the other person, i.e. similarities in attitude, common interests, etc. I may not fully understand why we do that, maybe it's because we're finding more reasons to love that person more. But I'm sure about one thing: Once the similarities are found, and realize that maybe you don't have that much in common, but still you choose to stay and accept that and love that along with the similarities that made you fall in love with that person, that's when you truly love.

You were more than just a foot note.

Faces

It's a quarter to three and I'm still not sleepy. Everything around me is still.

Quiet. Peace. Tranquility.

More time to think, to reflect.

It's been a while since I did something like this. To just sit still and think while there's soft music playing in the background.

So many faces are flashing in my mind right now. Faces and memories attached to those faces.

There are some faces who were once an important part of my life, but like so many things before them, have come and left, but leaving an indelible mark on my mind and heart just the same.

There are some faces who I have seen just once in my entire lifetime and have sometimes wondered the what-ifs. What if I smiled at her? Would we become friends?

There are faces who are still very an important part of my life. Familiar faces who give me a warm, safe feeling. The faces who have never failed to be there and make me smile.

And then I see my own face. What do I see? I see confusion, sadness, a plethora of emotions.

I still strive to see myself through His eyes.
