The 19th love theory

Every time I hear someone say that they met the man who changed their whole perspective on love at the age of 19, I couldn’t relate.

It was because I was 17 when you waltz into my life; giving me that impression that you have the plans of staying with me until the end.

I was only 17 when I received and believed your promises of forever. I was so young that I naively trusted you when you told me that you love me.

It was so easy for me to fall for all your flowery words because I didn’t know any better. No one has told me yet that I will met you at 17, and not at 19 as what this theory is telling me.

I was only 17. I was controlled by my will to love you and to be loved by you. I was urged by my wild fantasy to give in. I desperately wanted to experience a fairytale love story with you that I throw all of my logic outside the window.

I could never relate to this 19th love theory for women. Because I was 17 when I offered my heart to you in a silver platter. I was 17 when I decided that by 70, I want to die by your side. I was 17 when my whole world turned upside down.

I was 17 when I allow myself to love without holding back; to extend the purest form of love I could ever gave to someone. I was 17 when I did all of it and I haven’t done it again to anyone ever since, not even when I turned 19.

I was young, but my love for you wasn’t.

This piece that I wrote at 22 can attest to it.
