it takes a lot more than holding on.

It's not always rainbows and butterflies; it's compromise.
When I first knew Mish, I thought, 'Hey, he'd make a good friend'. After all, I just got out of a bad, bad relationship and was looking for nothing more than a good laugh with a new-found friend. The possibility of us being together NEVER crossed my mind, not even in a split second. He was just 'my GEMS classmate, who also happened to be my course senior'. No sparks, no fireworks. Just pure friendship.
Eventually, we got together (I shall skip the parts that fall in between because I might just bore you with my story and also because I'm really lazy to start on it now). Mish was (and still is) funny and I'm a sucker for guys who possess the ability to make me laugh. I guess you could say that's the first trait I look out for in a guy. I didn't intend to fall for him so soon, but things just fell into place quickly, but naturally. I found myself enjoying his company more than ever (thanks to GEMS class, which he was never absent for, just so he could sit beside me, talk to me and look at me. Hehe).
When he graduated (he is 2 years older) and entered NS, I was still in school, starting on my second year. We both became very doubtful about the relationship then, because we were afraid of failing. We were afraid that either of us would give up halfway, and that the void (due to lack of time with each other) would just keep getting deeper. Mish even predicted we'd last no longer than 6 months -_-
So, sorry baby. You were wrong! Hahahaha. Half a year for me to fall in love with you, a whole year and a half for you to trust that I'm not fooling around with you, 2 years for us to realise we want to be life partners and 3 years into keeping that dream alive. Let's continue to dream about our future and live in the present. I love you.
Sorry I couldn't get a newer picture. Haha.
