Love Is Just Greed

The relatable medium to a breakup with love

You could still think the world of someone for months or even years later hoping for rejoice when that hope is imaginary and nonexistent. Then, you begin to question yourself, "is love real or a concept made by humans to manipulate them for greed and corruption?" or "is love a vacation from the real world, eventually ending in a mismatch?" You sit there waiting for the train to return when it doesn't. It's almost like the feeling of pay day except working without a salary. Working, staring time down to clock out, except never getting to.

You read them your novel of cognitive metaphors, thinking they'd catch on. You'd repeatedly open your heart for this person, hoping they internally feel the same way back, but don't. No injury can plague the bodies of humans like praying to come back home and hold the key again. As time continues, the body deters to the dark side of this black and white world.

No one else understood beauty as such.

They saw the glimmer that glamorizes the golden body. They experienced the softest, most sensitive secrets that secrete somber silence to others. They were there for love, now a fragmented, frail fallacy to the argument.They tell you to write your emotions but it still doesn't conceal the pain, pain is forever, love is temporary. The scary thought of this is they could think of you as a musical note, whereas you think of them as a symphony, an orchestra, maybe even more powerful than one of Beethoven’s masterpieces.

You can be a blob of paint, whereas they're your in-depth painting, articulated with emotion in each stroke. You can be a stone, whereas they are your perfectly carved sculpture, showing the truth behind your thought of love. You think of them as blood, necessary to fulfill life processes. No other liquid can be replaced for blood, they're the only ones that satisfy the requirements on consciousness.

The blind can never process the truth, it'd kill them on the spot. Having the only person that made you feel like the jokers in a deck of card, the Miss Universe winner, the prized possession that you'd never lose, have their ideas be dead cold by the recent ones of new and fresh rather than old and decomposed. Hell would feel like heaven compared to being raggedy and used all up. Home will not be open today, nor will it ever.

Love is like a song, you listen to it a million times, get sick of it, and move on to the next latest hit. You feel hopeless, in an obsolete universe full of feelings you want to dispose of, but can't. It's like a stain on a white shirt, no matter how much you bleach it, the stain will still reside there. You can do anything to it, but that stain will appear and be noticed every time you wear that shirt. We're all pointless people living in a world not of ours. Our dream world awaits. Life will never be satisfied after your first. When will we meet again, maybe once my hell ends as I simmer into infinity?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
