Our Love Story 他不是无所不能的超人， 却能在她失落神伤时给予她温暖； 她不是十全十美的姑娘， 却在朝夕相处中让对方互相成长； 十五岁时他们相恋， 十八岁时一同考入大学， 去了同一座城市。 恋爱是艰苦的，不能期待它像美梦一样出来?，但爱情却又有一千个动人的心弦而又各不相同的音符，他们谱曲，配乐，填词，努力演奏出美妙的爱的协奏曲。   Said by George Gordon Byron It is the third year we have stayed together. Hand in hand, we struggle through the hard time in our lives. Heart to heart, we share and create happiness. Eyes to eyes, we gather more bravery and strength to make our future brighter. Now I am looking back to the past years, going over easy hours and tough moments that has gone by, and sorting out the off-beat feelings that might be detrimental to our our relationship.  We met in our fifteen years when we were attending senior high school. He sat just in front of me in the classroom, so we soon become friends. Then, in the second year of our school life, we were closer to each other. The disintegration of my family tore me into pieces. Tired and helpless, I was questioning myself the meaning of life again and again every second I was alone. It’s he who wiped off my tears and picked up my hope for life again. The sense of safety he gave me has since rooted deeply in my heart. Since then he has been my “fresh meat.” But I do forget how we stuck together. As he put, I was the one who took the initiative(主动权）. How embarrassing it is for me! But I am rather pleased the initiative has tied us together.  Love bestows（赠予） me with a committed and sacrificial spirit. Love leads me to unchanging devotion to his needs. Love haunted me with the burning desire to make him smarter, happier and stronger. During the days in senior high school, he was excellent at math and physics, while I did better in Chinese and biology. Therefore, with the hope of helping him have a better command of fundamental knowledge, I jotted down（摘抄） almost all the important points the teachers mentioned in class, though he didn’t know it. I don’t mind whether he would appreciate it, I just want to improve him. It’s the way I love him and prove I deserve his love. In return, he cracked math puzzles for me. It seemed that he enjoyed working out a difficult question and then throw me the answer. If I couldn’t make out the steps, he would explain them proudly. At that moment, I was always staring at him furtively（暗中的）, unseen by others. However, during the stressful and flat period, he was the one who encouraged me and cheered me up all the time.  However, things were not always going smoothly, especially when we went to university. He and I were admitted to different universities in the same city. Though they are rather close, we did not communicate face to face a lot, even didn’t chat much online, because we were holding the belief that it’s a good way to avoid putting off each other and improve learning efficiency. Sounds reasonable, isn’t it? It gave us more time and spaces to develop ourselves. It ensured we were able to better prepare for our responsibilities to each other in the future. However, the belief, which should have inspired me, tortured me instead. When it was raining, there are always girls jumping into their boyfriends arms, while I, cold and wet, had nothing to rely on. To be honest, I was jealous of those girls. Loneliness, instead of him, stayed in my company. Crankily（胡思乱想的） and endlessly, a chain of questions were surging through my brains, ‘ “Does he love you?”, ”Do you really need him?”, “Do you deserve his love?” ,‘ etc. Maybe he felt innocent, unconscious of me being upset. Though I did not doubt his love for me, I thought it necessary to do something. Then comes the day I had a serious talk with him face to face, declaring I need more attention and care. And it has worked!    One trouble cut in when we were at Beijing Railway Station, having lunch while waiting for our train home. A young man dressed neatly approached us and begged for a meal. We said no, then the young man left. A few days later, my sweetheart told me he was being upset, because he was thinking if the young man at the railway station came at us, he was not able to protect me. He felt guilty for not being strong enough. It’s true that he is not physically sturdy, but that in no case means he is not unreliable. He is not perfect, infallible, and omnipotent（无所不能的）, nor is anyone else. He is sometimes scared and frustrated by the feeling of not being strong and competent, but he is my hero to begin with and end with.  Now, he is seated beside me, reading a book. His company is all my heart is after. Problems can emerge in the relationship of a couple again and again. It’s hard to avoid such minor nuisances. What we can do is to communicate with each other patiently and rationally and come to understand that males and females have different emotional and social requirements. Hopefully, my experience could help you better understand what girls are thinking about when they fall in love.  Authored By Wendy of CRE  Wish you a Happy St. Valentine’s Day! |
