The Notebook (2004)

I just rewatched The Notebook and cried my eyes out. My chest is hurting from so much heart pain.

This is the love I want.

The moment when Noah asked Allie, what do you want? Stop thinking about what everyone else, what do YOU want? I thought, this is what I want.

All my life, I have been searching for the one true love. A person, who will always be there for me as I will always be there for him. Through thick and thin, in any conditions. I always thought, as long as I have this one person who loves me unconditionally and I vice versa, I am safe. As long as we are with each other, we are home. It doesn’t matter where or what condition we live in, together is home.

I have decided to just let things be. I can’t chase after him anymore.

It has taken me away from myself and I want to find myself again.

I’m sorry if I need to love myself first. It is ok if he moves on with his life. It will be painful but I won’t be bitter. Because like Noah said, which I completely agree, we did love each other. There was no question. And I want to only look back in our relationship and see happy memories. He was a great love that I will cherish for the rest of my life. 

Timing is everything and unfortunately, our fate has only brought us together for a lesson, not a lifetime.
