How Can You Hate One You Used To Love?

How can you hate one you used to love?

 

How can you hate what you're used to loving? How can you hate the way you greatly love something before? The way speeches would come flowing out of your mouth, the way words would be swimming in pieces of paper, the way images would be painting itself on canvases... how could you easily despise that as if it never happened at all? As if they never mattered at all?

 

It would be easy to blame the whispers. Would be easy to indulge with the thought that it wasn't the continuous rain that caused the landslides, that made a tragedy out of the solid ground that became your foundation. It would be tempting to hide from the truth you once love to search for. Wouldn't be mildly surprised if that's what everyone would urge you and support you with. It would be right to go along with what you've grown up with, what you've learned to be passed down, what you've loved to continue loving.

 

But sometimes it all stops.

 

The light caress don't linger like the way it used to. The soft voice don't echo like you expected it to. What used to be sweet leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, almost gagging you with every reminder that you once took carelessly what was offered to you all too willingly. It makes the raging fire calm into a slow burning ember before dispearing. It makes the light turn into darkness.

 

How can you hate something you used to love?

 

How can anyone know? How can a person explain? How would I know?

 

I know nothing. Nothing at all. Yet it seems like the answer is a truth hidden in plain sight.

If one truly loved the person before, no matter what the person did, one can never hate that person. You will just be thankful for all the good memories the person shared with you in the past and pray for the best for both of ya.

They said "ppl come and go". It's true.

Someone will come into our life to let us know how does love feels like, that's a first love.

Someone will come next, to let us experience the bittersweet of love, that's the second love.

Then eventually, at times when we doesn't expect anything, when we won't even searching for someone, that special someone... the right one will come into your life, give no warning and just pull you back into being in love. The person won't just make your heart skips a beat but instead, the person will make you feel safe. The right one will make you feel blessed and content, that you want nothing more but to settle down with that person. That's your true last love.

My says in this might differ from everyone else. But i speak only the truth, based on how i experience it all in my life.

Well nonetheless, I believe we shouldn't hate someone we used to love. That's just nonsense to me.
