I asked my boyfriend, "paano mo na-realize na mahal mo na talaga ako?"

And he answered, "nung sa lahat ng ginagawa ko, iniisip ko na kung paano makakaapekto yun sa 'yo." That's when I understood what others mean when they say: one of the purest forms of love is consideration.

We've been together for 7 years now and not once have I felt unloved or neglected. True to his words, lagi niya akong isinasaalang-alang sa mga bagay na ginagawa niya at sa mga desisyon niya. Kaya rin siguro hindi pa kami ever nagkaroon ng big fights.

I may have done something utterly good in this lifetime (or the last) for the universe to give me such a partner in life. He's my first boyfriend and I'd do everything in my power for him to be my last.
