Description
Fictional? Ha! I used to be the cynic that you are now. Soulmates didn't exist. Love at first sight didn't exist. Hell, the whole concept of love didn't exist. It didn't exist for me, or anyone for that matter. I believed that for 20 years. Fictional? Sure it is! For now. You're gonna find that the anti-cynic in you is going to peak out and eat the cynic that shows on the outside.I was there. Yes, I was. I was moping for years, curing love and everything associated with it. "Fuck it", I said. But in reality, looking past the cynicism and peeling away the sarcasm, there was the real me. The romantic. The one who wants to be loved. The one who wants to be in love. The one who wants to believe in love.
Logically, I wasn't only a cynic. I was a cynic in love. But the only way to completely eat the cynic, I had to admit it first.
Fictional? It was until he came along. There was something about him that...I fell in love with immediately. And...most importantly, he was interested. Are you serious? Me? The cynic? With him? So surreal--I still can't believe it.
Fictional? It might be. Now. But take a look back at me. I was you, young one. Take a deep breath and keep going. You'll find that true love is not as fictional as it looks now. It may take a year, 10 years, even longer...the fairy tale is only a soap opera until the very end. Nothing happens until the end. When is the end? Who knows?
Fictional? Only as fictional as you perceive it.

I've fallen my fair share. I've experienced the hurt, but also the ecstasy in love. I'm an optimistic person not because of the ecstasy but because of the pain endured so easily, with time and... love.

Deep down, beyond my bitterness, I believe in all the giddyness of love. It's the romantic in me.
