Why YOU?

Last night, I couldn't help thinking about him. He was my co-worker. We came from the same province so we talk in our own dialect. We really got close that we even comfortable of criticizing each other. I knew from the start that he is not a real man. Then one day, I just realized that I was starting to fall for him despite for what he is. And I think I love him. Not because he always makes me laugh or always there when I need him but because I accept for what he is. I confessed what I feel for him but he said it's impossible because I'm a girl. A real girl. Then he asked, 'Why me?' I answered him back, 'Why you? Honestly, I don't know. I just do'. Maybe that's just how love goes. When you love something or someone, you don't ask. You don't search for answers.

ahh... LOVE.. Love.. love... Love really moves in a very mysterious way, right? ^_^ Meeting him was fate, becoming his friend was a choice, but falling in love with him, you had no control over it. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel. So, for that, I congratulate you for being honest with him and most importantly, with yourself. I salute you for having a courage to tell him how you feel. Cheers! ^_^

Wow! Love is really tricky, isn't it? You just don't know who its gonna choose next time. =) Actually I know 2 couples like that. The guy IS gay. The 1st one, I've known them when I was a kid, everybody in our town knows he is gay, but he is married and have 3 kids. The 2nd, I met them in my first job. I know the guy is gay, so I was actually shocked when I heard that they are already together. It's been 7 years, and last I heard the girl is already pregnant. So it's really up to you, if you let yourself fall for a gay guy, I just hope that he will reciprocate your feelings. Good luck! =)

Most of us do have a pic about how our partner should look like. But if we have that partner he seldom fits into the pic we made of the so wanted partner. Then it shows that other things are more interesting as the list we made. This is what is real love about, and who knows the "being blind". Real love is about completely accepting the other person the way he/she is but also about feeling complete. There is not a list of facts as an answer on the question: why me? It is the way it is and that should be enough.

I don't understand what you mean by 'he is not a real man'. Could you be a little more descriptive? I don't understand what you're trying to ask. Is this an excerpt from a book?

He is a homosexual. This is not an excerpt from a book.
