Recently one of my friends called me up to tell me about his crush on this certain girl in my class. Long story short, he tells me an epic fairytale he thinks he feels and that he's in a dilemma cause there are other girls waiting for him. I'm not gonna comment anything on that cause for me is there's feelings for girl A then there's no need to stress anymore. The next day he's telling me that he needs to speak to me urgently. I met him and he didn't get to put his point across cause i just asked him one question and posed a simple "past problem" to him and he got worried about it and totally forgot. I did, however manage to ask him this one question. "What does she mean to you?" his answer was simple, "everything." What are the boundaries where everything lies? Cause i realise that whenever i'm asked the same question and even before i'm with that girl i find myself guilty of using that line as well only to realise she's not my everything. I think i can find old couples who can't even tell me that their spouse for 50 years is their everything. I mean sure, when they say it they mean everything in the most romantic sense of, "she's the drive in my life when there's nothing to live for" or "she's the air i breathe" but i found that if you really loved someone and even if words couldn't describe how you felt about them and i'm talking about love not infatuation, wouldn't the question and answer segment of "How much do I mean to you?" and the answer of "Everything" be something more? I mean love is ultimately the most powerful emotion a human can feel. Its the difference between happiness and sorrow, hope and despair, sunshine and rain. If i was ever asked that question, personally, i don't think i'd be able to answer it, at least not with words, they wouldn't be justified and i guess neither would the question because they shouldn't have to worry about it in the first place. Oh and in case you're wondering, he sent me another sms telling me that he decided that the girl was a distraction to his studies and that he's not gonna follow up with his "love" for her. I rest my case.
