Prompt 2: Only Love Can Hurt Like This - Paloma Faith

Say I wouldn't care if you walked away

But every time you're there, I'm beggin' you to stay

And when you come close (when you come close), I just tremble

And every time, every time you go

It's like a knife that cuts right to my soul

Is it working? How do I put you off till you get tired of me and leave? You’ve promised that the journey is going to be “worthwhile”, even though you know the path that we’re going to take is one full of hurdles, opposition from both sides, sadness and anger. How do I get you to see that you deserve so much more than what I can offer you? How do I convince you that I’m not enough for you? That you need someone who is much more similar to you in terms of wants, needs and long-term plans.

You’ll thank me later, once you find someone who makes you want to be a better person. Someone who makes you feel more in life. Someone who is your equal. Someone whom your parents will accept and love for who she is. Someone who is able to share your joys and sadness, your ups and downs. Someone who is able to love you for who you are, no questions or changes asked. Someone who didn’t have restrictions or would only cause you to worry in the long run. Someone who wouldn’t need you to change to suit their family’s requirements. Someone who isn’t me.

To me, you’re like the star, which I pray won't lose its shine and brightness. You’re meant for greatness, I believe you do. You’re meant for happiness. You’re meant to go far. I would love to be a part of that journey with you. But, I just don’t think I’m the right one to be next to you when you do achieve that. So… I’m gonna keep trying to make sure you reach your goals, without me.

Of course, it’ll hurt for the both of us. But love, you’ll be better off without me. I love you too much to bring you down with me. So, do me a favour. Live your best life… for the both of us. It’ll be hard for me to let go of the memories we share and how far we have come… but I’ll survive. I’ll always be your cheerleader, to cheer you on from the sidelines.

I love you, even though it hurts.

Prompt 1: Break My Heart - Dua Lipa

I would've stayed at home

'Cause I was doin' better alone

But when you said, "Hello"

I know that was the end of it all

I should've stayed at home

'Cause now there ain't no letting you go

Am I falling in love

With the one that could break my heart?

I’ve always thought of myself as a driven, independent woman who would not fall easily to a man’s advances. “But you always said you were a hopeless romantic.” Well, both spheres aren’t mutually exclusive. You can say… behind every driven, independent woman conceals a girl who’s a closet romantic. Someone who dreams of her own version of happily ever after.

Everyone’s definition of romance and happily ever after is always tweaked differently. Apart from the usual romance stereotypes like memorable dates, constant displays of affection or the grand engagement-and-wedding plot, I do hear some yearning for the “unspoken meanings”, “soulmate telepathy” or the “undeniable chemistry buzzing in the atmosphere”. What’s my definition of romance or a happily-ever-after you might ask?

Well, my kind of romance is akin to the lake or the river. Why not the ocean? While the typical romance is supposed to be all-consuming and passionate like the waves in the ocean, I do believe that it could be damaging as well to have a love like that. While I do dream of a love that brings me on a roller coaster ride to experience the picturesque highs and lows which books and movies depict, I do prefer a slow-burn kind of romance. A romance that builds gradually, allowing time to spin its web gracefully over the two, intertwining their lives and fate into a love story.

Like the river, my vision of a happily-ever-after could be envisioned as a constant stream of care, fun, understanding and effort to keep the romance alive… in a simplistic way. From impromptu dates or a weekend getaway, to the inside jokes and shared songs, showing that one has never left the other’s mind. Love also has its challenges and hurdles. I’m aware of that. Hence, why the elements of mutual understanding and effort come into play.

The question is, why do I feel afraid of falling deeper in love with you?

Am I afraid to love you? You’re easy to fall in love with. I’m utterly in love with every part of you, even the parts which you think are unlovable. You might think you’re damaged or hard to love. To me, you’re someone I would love to keep hidden from the hurt in the world.

Do I not trust you? I do trust you. I trust that you would never hurt me intentionally. I trust that you would make decisions in our best interests. I trust that you will not be the same as the ones who have put me through hell constantly.

So what am I afraid of you may ask? I’m afraid of the future. I enjoy having our love protected in our little bubble of secrecy, where we indulge in simple thrills to keep that little bit of romance alive. But, what about the future? The external factors that are kept at bay, waiting to pounce at any weakness posed? The uncertainty of the future is what scares me. The number of “what ifs” in my mind. The number of “how tos” floating around to make sure that the love we have doesn’t fade or get snatched away.

“Well, just sit back and enjoy the ride” you say. “The journey matters more than the destination, as long as I’m with you” I would love to believe that so much. But hurt is an experience I dread having, especially when it comes to you. Yes, it’s a part of life. I just don’t want to prove them right. I don't want to witness the day when toxicity triumphs over the love we have. Yes, our love is somewhat… unique, especially in a society like ours. One that transcends culture, religion and social class (in some ways). It might seem normal to some, but a disdain to others.

There are challenges that we will encounter. Choices we would be forced to pick. The cards we are dealt with are…not right at the moment. So, when will it be the right time? Only time will tell. Perceptions, decisions, and paths can be changed right? Well, let’s hope it will be for the best.

Till then, I’ll certainly enjoy the journey and to write our little love story with you.

[12:00am] I didn't expect myself to fall deeply in love with you. You happened to arrive at the wrong time, when I was still hopelessly in love with the one who wouldn't even spare me a single glance.

However, long after I got over him and decided to focus on myself, the thoughts of your little quirks, from your little smirks and adorably ugly laughs to your attentiveness towards my needs, has me falling into the deep end for you.

A right person at the wrong time, you are never an option. You are someone I need and if you give me the chance, I will gladly spend my life showing you what a treasure you are.

[2:00am] I swear... I can't help it. How do you spin words that makes my heart beat eratically every time you text me? I'm still reeling from that one line you just sent; "I'll come over to your place no matter what."

[2:00am] Why do girls fall for the villains in books? Because, despite being morally grey or evil, we know that once villains lay their eyes on something, their object of affection, they would do everything to own it. Once you're theirs, you would be sure that you will be treasured and protected, as villains will burn and destroy everything in their path to make sure you're safe.

As the pop theory goes, a hero will sacrifice you to save the world, but the villain will go through the ends of the world, burning everything in their path to save you.

To that special someone:

Fate always works in mysterious ways. Two strangers, who never had any relations all their lives, were paired up to create a special bond. A bond that can't be broken, no matter how far apart they are. A bond forged and strengthened through shared laughter, tears, secrets, dreams and love.

It was both a mystery and a miracle that we were brought together. You shared my happiness, my woes, my hopes, and my fears. You taught me self-love and confidence. You are my cheerleader, listening ear, and partner-in-crime. I will never ever find someone exactly like you.

Here's to our past, present and future. Thank you for being by my side all this time. Love you.

[2:00pm] I've promised my heart that I won't let anyone hurt her ever again. Then you came along, the ultimate heartbreaker, vowing to steal it with your unwavering attention and sweet words. She whispered to me, "Maybe he's different. Should we let him in?"

[12:00am] What is something that will remind you instantly of your crush, lover, an old flame or even an ex you can't get rid of from your mind?

It could be a song filled with memories of you and them driving on an empty expressway without a destination in mind. Or it could be a warm cup of hot chocolate with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, a weird combination your past lover enjoyed and shared with you during the nights they stayed over.

For me... it's the scent of lemons, algebra exercises, the song 'Animal' by Trey Songz, lame pick-up lines, a specific cologne smell (musk and bergamot), ThirTEENTerrors (Netflix), and the nickname 'Bubs'

A/N: The things I've listed can be found as a piece of memory I have with each of my crushes/ex. Do let me know what things remind you of your lovers.

A letter to my past love: Jayce

Dear Jayce (not his real name),

We met after the rollercoaster of events that I had happening to me in secondary 2; bullying, rejection and exams. We literally met on our school trip to Beijing. I did not expect to even become friends with you since you kept to yourself and your best mate. Apparently, all of that changed on the 5th day of our Beijing trip when you started talking to me after we found out we will be classmates in secondary 3. We became fast friends, especially with how easy-going and protective you were.

In school, we still stayed close, even staying back in the library to do Math homework together. You were a calming presence in my life, always trying to get me to see the good in people, even though they were beating me down heavily. It is indeed because of you that I’ve become more optimistic now in adulthood, as compared to how I was...8 years ago.

I would say it was quite unfortunate that we drifted apart from being close friends to distant friends due to our busy schedules and the difference in subject combinations. Well, the truth is, things got a little awkward when I found out that another classmate of ours was crushing hard on you and she was hell-bent on making me look like a bad guy after witnessing you handing me a letter instead of her.

If you can remember that day clearly, it was one of the school days where we had to write a letter to a person of our choice, giving them heartfelt advice or gratitude for having them in our lives. She was sitting right beside me when you handed me that letter at my desk. I watched her bright eyes darkened when you passed by her desk to stand in front of mine as you placed that piece of pink paper in my hands. I couldn’t forget how she glared at me after you went back to your desk. She swore to make my life a living hell through alienation.

I know I couldn’t blame you for what had happened since that girl and I had a bitter history since secondary 1. After all, she was one of the culprits behind the bullying episode. I know I should have worked hard to keep our friendship going since you did a lot to keep me emotionally stable. I guess being 15 meant the level of immaturity was still there when I jokingly told you that I had a crush on someone else even though there may be an inkling that you would have liked me back.

Well, the only thing I have of you now is the pink letter that is still in my wallet. The other thing would be how you smelled like; lemons. Fresh, citrus lemons. It has brought comfort to my senses whenever you’re near me and it is still my favourite scent now.

I can only hope you’re doing well now in university. Here’s hoping we cross paths again.

Love,

Mochi

Dear John (not his real name),

How do I begin... In a way, you were my first deep crush. Well, we did first meet in secondary school, at a young age of 13. We started off as seatmates, awkwardly getting to know one another in a whole new environment. Don’t you remember, we got on like a house on fire! Competing with each other in common tests, we made bets on who was the highest in Math (mind you we got the same score and swapped a dollar). Jesting and spurring each other on, we were each other’s cheerleaders.

I knew I was attracted when you borrowed my textbook since you didn’t bring yours, and ended up highlighting the important points for me even though that book was mine. You could have borrowed it from your buddy behind you and yet you pulled my seat to your desk as we shared a book. That crush was a new feeling to me. Unexpected butterflies fluttering in me when you decided to swap worksheets to compare answers, giggles bursting between our sealed lips as we created inside jokes about our English teacher, and even warmed cheeks as you continuously pulled my seat closer to yours when we were going through papers.

Why did I like you? Hmmm, your competitive nature, your soft moments, your laugh, your wit and how our birth dates matched our index numbers. 13 and 24 right?

We were quite close, don’t you think? Chatting on Facebook Messenger every single day and night, comparing answers, and even just sharing about our daily lives during the weekend. That one special memory (literally 10 years ago) is still etched in my heart when you were having high fever during Chinese New Year and I was at the beach, looking at the sunset. We were in the midst of talking about how you were still expecting visitors even though you were feverish and I texted you that I may need to stop texting you as my phone battery was running flat. You immediately texted ‘don’t leave me’. I stayed online to keep you company the whole evening.

I remembered being annoyingly persistent in asking who your crush was. I mean we were literally ‘early teens’, crushes were a huge thing in secondary school. You either dodged or threw the question back to me. There were multiple occasions where our mutual friends joined in on the fun just to rile you up. The one thing I regretted was being blind or oblivious to the little signs you did show.

I literally looked through our past conversations just to read our mindless chats about school, crushes, friends butting in and I came across this one particular text where you just sent ‘U’. It was after a few texts of talking about algebra and the earlier conversation before that was me asking who was your crush one last time. Not sure whether I’m reading too much into it.

Then that fateful day came. Your supposed life saviour, my bully, humiliated me for having a crush on you. He relished in the fact that he was the one who was given the honours to say that you… didn’t like me back. You didn’t have the balls to even meet my pleading eyes when I was humiliated in front of the whole class.

And after that day, you treated me like scum. Like I was unworthy of even being your friend. With that memory, you gave me my first heartbreak. To think that I was so stupid to even apologise for whatever that happen just to get you to talk to me again. The best thing yet, I still harboured feelings for you till we graduated in 2014.

To tell you the truth, I still do search your social media pages just to see how you were doing. To reminisce about the good times and what could have been if things were different. With this, I bid goodbye to my first crush, first love and first heartbreak.

Once yours,

Mochi

Hi loves,

Looks like we're going deep with my love letters to all of my crushes in my life. There will be eight love letters posted.

Just a warning though, there may be some angst in these letters. Do comment whether I was dumb or oblivious yea? Comments, messages and asks are always welcome. I do feel lonely.

Lots of love,

Mochi

Hi loves,

I'm planning to fill my term break with writing... I have several ideas:

1) A special rendition of 'To All The Boys I Before' where I write love letters of the crushes I've had throughout my life

2) A giveaway of custom-made love letters for my followers - I will answer your requests and come up with love letters for your loved ones or crushes

3) Just continue with quotes (2-3 times a day)

I've created a poll . Do share your ideas of what you guys want to see on this blog as well! This will be a pinned post!

Hugs and Kisses,

Admin Mochi
