True Love....

I can't believe it. I can't believe that I just cried in public after reading a book by Nicholas Sparks. The story touched me so deeply that until now, tears would escape my eyes time to time when I thought about the whole story. The love that I felt from the two characters in the story were so strong that I began to wonder to myself, would I ever be able to experience the same kind of love that the both of them shared? In case you were wondering, the book is titled 'The Notebook'.

Before reading this book, I had sort of firmly believed the notion that true love is just something all of us dreamed about and always hoping that someday it will happen to us. I guess I didn't believe in love. I'm not wrong to think that way and some of you might know why. At one time, I even lost all hope in love, knowing that the feelings felt during that time will only end in pain and suffering. But now, after reading the book, I have begun to see that true love CAN happen. That it will happen without me knowing it and the feeling would be so natural, much more so than the feeling of my own heartbeat thumping against my chest.

Although I know that it is just a story, somehow I felt that the book spoke of more than just a story. It taught me to treasure people whom I have come to love. Be it as friends, family members or that person whom I deeply cared for. The book taught me that love can withstand the test of time and that although people have changed, the love between them shall forever remain pure and innocent. Reading the books by Nicholas Sparks have certainly made me change my perspective on LOVE and I am forever grateful for that.

So for those of you who have yet to read it, I strongly encourage to go to the library and loan it out to read. Another book I might recommend to you is of the same author titled 'A walk to remember'.

How I wished I could ever experience the love that the characters of the book shared with each other. If I could ever experience, my life would be devoid of all other needs and wants except to stay by her side and loving her forever till we both part ways in death. Even in my last moments, I would like to die asleep in her embrace, whoever she might be. Sighs.
