다른거 (Opposites)
Description
-주니엘-
A sensible person such as yourself must have heard the phrase "opposites attract" in your first grade General Science (which I have, for the reference). You know, those two ends of a magnet? The north and south pole of a magnet will always attract; north to north and south to south will never attract. That's just the way life goes. You can't question it.
My friends say it's applicable to Homo sapiens too. You know, humans. Male. Female. They say it's applicable to dating-- like relationships. I'd tell them that it's funny. Real funnny. You know why? How could you get to like a person who has nothing in common with you? How could you be able to talk, if you didn't have anything to talk about, because you had absolutely nothing in common? Their theory, I believe, is completely impossible.
"Go for it." they'd constantly tell me. "Give it a try."
I never did give it a try...
Not until I met him...
I never knew my dorky, self-centered and conceited friends would actually be right.
Here I am, lying down on my beat up old bed, pondering on how all of this is possible. The mere thought of the possibility lingers in my head, the question "How is this possible?", zooming right through my mind, staying there, not ever leaving. Yes, indeed, how on Earth is this possible? How can someone like me, be so attracted to someone like him?
I don't get it. I'll never get it. I want to get it, but I just can't. Why can't I?

You know that phrase? That... "It's funny how someone can just suddenly pop into your life, and then you realise that you can't imagine life without them."? You've probably seen that phrase on tumblr, or those facebook like pages, or the stupid reshared or reblogged or retweeted photos, which I have. I never understood it. Only when I met her, I did.
She and I.. Well, it's safe to say that we are complete opposites. If anyone is going to argue with me, I shall hit you on the head and say that you must be delusional, because it is pretty obvious that we're nothing alike-- we have nothing in common. She's this.. this.. Warm-hearted ray of sunshine. Her mere presence would make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. She's this happy-go-lucky, fun loving person, who's always seen with that smile on her face. It wasn't one of those forced smiles that girls would make for the cameras, it was a true, natural smile. A smile that could brighten up any rainy day. A smile that would never really leave her face. You could still see that smile in her eyes, even if she wasn't directly smiling. It was a smile that never knew pain.
That's one of the main things that made us different.
I'm that emotional man whom you'd often see around the corner of the streets, hopelessly strumming at his guitar strings, trying to compose a short tune. I'm pale, and my lack of that bubbly emotion made me even paler than I really am. If you ever saw a smile on my face, I'd say you were hallucinating, because I hardly ever smile. I rarely smile. In fact, I don't smile at all. I did before, but never again.
That's what I thought, at least.
Every time she'd pass by me, I had this strong urge to follow. Like a predator, stalking its prey. Something about her-- I just couldn't point it out; I couldn't name it-- was mind blowingly different about her. That.. that feeling.
I'll say this once again. We are complete opposites.
But why was I just so drawn to her? So.. addicted to her?
Like she was my drug...
She is my drug.
And I just can't get enough of her.
Foreword
Nothing good lasts. At all. Not even good memories will last. They'll slowly fade away in your mind, leaving you hopelessly heartbroken and torn apart, trying to remember. People only remember the bad things. They've only learned the bad things, because the bad things linger in your brain longer, haunting you. That's true for me, at least. Majority of my life's horrible, that's why I've only learned the bad things...

Try to smile. Even after everything's hurt you. Show the world that you're strong, and that you'll take on any challenge that life throws at you. Even while you cry, smile. Erase the bad and pen down the good. Cherish the good, and have no regrets. Forget the bad memories, because you shouldn't let the past haunt you and affect your present and future. Life's too short to be frowning or crying about anything...
