10 ways to show her you love(d) her

here's another artik from my "baul" files. cant remember when i wrote this but it's a pretty funny read. made me remember a lot of things. haha!

"when a person is able to talk about something
more openly now than before,
it's a sign that he/she is over it..."

oOo

1. Because you have not seen her for quite some time, ask her to watch a movie with you in the middle of your very busy schedule. Certainly, she will not hesitate. Surprise her by reserving 2 very good movie seats ahead of time. While on your way to pick her up, she'll text you that she can't come, that she changed her mind. Never tell her you planned a surprise for her, she might feel guilty and hurt. Tell her that it's okay and you understand her. Tell her that there will always be a next time. You will end up watching the movie with your two siblings--giving them the 2 good seats you reserved and then buying a last minute shitty seat for yourself.

2. Give her a compilation of all your articles about her--from the moment you met her until the night before you'll meet her for another random surprise. Tell all the good things about her, about your feelings for her. Make her feel better by saying how much you love her and how much you treasure every single second that you spend with her. That mini book is your first "book". Give her your only copy and tell her to keep it. It's hers now.

3. Help her in her thesis. You don't understand what their thesis is all about. You are not good in understanding all those chemicals and substances but don't let her down. Go out of your comfort zone and research on those chemicals and substances so you can help her at the very least. In times when you really are helpless, just stay with her all night long. Call her once in a while, text her... Check if she's doing fine and offer any help you can. Just don't leave her alone.

4. Walk with her in the flooded streets of Espana just so you can avoid the traffic, and bring her home just before her "curfew". She will not like it. She will get irritated and will end up snobbing you. If she tells you she won't talk to you, she really won't. Just be patient. Tell her it won't happen again because you'll buy a car in the future and never let her beautiful feet touch the dirty waters of Espana ever again.

5. Tell her you love her, and mean it. She knows that you are not "directly expressive" so it will make her feel good to hear you tell her "I love you" in the most unexpected hours of the day. Remember that there is no right timing. Just say so if you feel like saying it. She'll appreciate that.

6. Think about her. Always. You may not always be with her all the time because you two are living two different lives, but that won't stop you from thinking about her. You travel a lot and go from one place to another, and when you do, text her and tell her that you're having fun but you could have been much happier if she was with you at the moment. And again, mean it.

7. Because you know how much she loves butterflies, bring her to a butterfly garden. You have no idea where hell butterfly gardens are located in the country so you spend some time in the office surfing the net, searching where butterfly gardens are. Pick her one afternoon and ask her parents if you could bring her somewhere for a surprise. (You take her to the butterfly garden only to find out that it has been temporarily closed. Don't worry, it's the thought that counts.)

8. For no reason, ask her out whenever she's free. And though it is never your character to put your "career" next to anything else, you don't mind retracting that if it's for her. If her free time goes against your planner, cancel ALL your pre-scheduled agenda for the day. Tell them you need to do something more important. Do these, all for one reason: you just want to spend some time with her. Time is the best gift a busy person can give to someone special.

9. Accept everything about her--her past, her present. Accept her for who she was and for who she is now. Accept her mistakes, her flaws, her everything--including the fact that she just can't love you back.

10. And lastly, in times when you are in pain after all the things that happened, never ever blame her. Just love her, just love her.
