If I loved You Once I'll Love You Forever

“Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it empowers us to develop courage; to trust that courage and build bridges with it; to trust those bridges and cross over them so we can attempt to reach each other.” - Maya Angelou

If I loved You Once I'll Love You Forever

Love is an interesting concept. We use it to express our admiration for things like our favorite foods, material items, our pets, our friends, and our lovers. “Love” has endless meanings and endless interpretations and it can take in a variety of different forms.

I believe love between people is everlasting. If I have loved you before, I love you now, and I will love you forever. I don’t believe it was ever love in the first place if you can just decide one day that you no longer love someone. That’s not what love is. You may have thought that it was love but it was probably just lust or an infatuation of someone.

Throughout my whole life, I have always cherished every single relationship I have made. Whether it be platonic friendships or romantic relationships. I would not have started to build a relationship with you if I had not loved you in some prior way.

Regretfully, I have lost relationships with many people whom I've once loved. My ex best friend is no longer in my life. My first love has moved on. My past loves are just that. But not to me. All of these expired relationships mean more to me. Obviously, I wouldn't have had you as my best friend if I didn't love. I wouldn't have dated you if I didn't love you in some way. I wouldn't have invested in our relationship if I didn't love you. My previous love for you has just transformed into a new love. From romantic love to friendship love. From friendship love to neighborly love. I will always have some level of love for you because I will always care about you.

I will always be that person you can always rely on. I will always be that person you can run to for help. I will always be that person that will always be there for you if you need me. If you need a friend, I am there. I will never understand how people can just completely cut off and ignore the people they've once loved. That doesn't even make any sense. How can anyone be so cold-hearted? You've spent a portion of you life engaging with these people and making memories with them. It shouldn't be so easy to just cut them out of your life. Did you really ever care for them in the first place? Were these people just a way for you to waste your time?

Maybe I'm just a clingy person. Maybe I'm just over attached. Or maybe I'm just a good person with a big heart and a lot of love to give. Whatever it may be, I will never forgot those that I used to love. I will never forget those that used to make my days just by seeing them. You all know who you are, I will always love you.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
