To Love And To Be Loved
I met a boy today. The moment I saw him, I knew I would fall in love with him. His name is Jung Yunho. He is an urban boy with small face and a mole above his lips. He came here to visit his grandparents. That’s all I know, yet I still fall in love with him.
During his stay here, we talked for hours outside of the house. Time passed by so fast, you know how it feels like you go into time wrapping when you talk to someone that ‘click’ with you? Yes, I felt it, and I love time wrapping. One day we went and we watched a movie. We talked that night about the saying in the movie “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to love and to be loved.”. I always remember it in my mind.
That summer we spent every day together. When he left, he left with my necklace. But that isn’t all that he left with, he left with my heart. I was left with nothing of his, not even an answer when he would return. All he said was , “ I have your necklace I will have to return.”.
This boy is someone I thought I would never see ever again.
Even though he came back the next summer and we spent ever day together by the beach, once again though, he left with my necklace and I had something of his. I had his heart, and that is what was in my necklace, my locket had the heart of my own in it and he said he would keep it with him until he saw me next time.
The whole entire year I couldn’t wait until summer, I would receive an occasional letter from him. Every time I heard him speak I would fall deeply in love with him. The way he wrote made me just want to cuddle up with him. I love this man. There is no way you can ever make me forget that summer, every day we spent together. I don’t even care that he is in the same gender with me. I know it’s a sin, yet I can’t fight my heart.
oOo
The next summer he came back. He gave me back my locket and said he wouldn’t be coming back next summer. He was moving away, far away, and I tried not to cry out my eyes that day. I tried with all the might inside me, but I couldn’t I cried out my eyes that last day of summer he told me.
We were sitting on the beach, that is one day I will never forget. I told him to keep the locket, so he would never forget me. He said there is no way he would forget me, and he would keep me in his mind, and in his heart. That day he also gave me something of his. He gave me a new necklace, so I would never forget him, on the back it said that he loved me. And all I thought was ‘a boy like this, loves me… simple me’. And I kissed him so passionately, he was surprised, but then he went with it.
Then we just sat there for hours, me in his arms. I could feel his heart beat, the warmth of his body on mine. And I never wanted to leave, this place, this moment. Yet, I knew I had to, I knew he had to. That night I said good bye to my first and last love.
oOo
We continued to stay in touch over the years, yet I knew I would never find a love like this again. I had a few on and off boyfriends, but they were never in love with me and I was never in love with them. As years went on the same thing kept happening I couldn’t bring myself to fall in love with these men.
One year I received a letter from my summer love. It said he was coming to visit. But this visit would be more than just a simple summer trip. He was coming to visit, and to stay. The day we saw each other for the first time in many years, I couldn’t help myself but to hold back at first. Then I just had to hug him, I hugged him like I had never hugged anyone before.
The way his arms felt around me, made me feel like I was allowed to love again. That night we went to the beach, me in his arms just felt so right. We fell asleep there, right on the beach. When we woke up, he gave me my old locket, I accept it, then he told me to open it.
On one side it said “The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love and to be loved” and on the other side it had a picture of us. I was so surprised he remembered that summer night. When I turned my face to him, he kissed me so passionately, I felt so lost. I had no control over my body. My heart finally didn’t feel so heavy, I felt in love. I felt right, I felt like there was nothing that could ever make this day horrible.
Until I felt his left hand feel something cold touch my face, I could tell it wasn’t his hand. So I pulled my self away from his warm lips, and noticed the wedding ring on his finger. I had to pull myself away; I could barely bring myself to ask him if he was married. He answered with a simple no, and said that he was supposed to be married to her this month. He told his parents he didn’t love her, and that he loved me. Simple me.
He also mentioned that he ran away from his parents to come to me and love me. Yes, simple me.
I didn’t understand, he could have married this wonderful princess but instead he wanted to love and marry me. He told his parents that if they wanted to see him get married, he would have to watch him marry me. Not some princess or some other rich urban boy like him.
He wanted me, in a simple way, simple me. This country boy named Shim Changmin. I had no large mansion. I had a simple house. I wasn’t the most handsome one out of the villagers, I wasn’t the gorgeous one. Cho Kyuhyun was the gorgeous one, he could have had him. But no, he wanted me, he wanted this simple poor country boy. I had no clue why. Yet I loved him, I loved him with all that I had.
oOo
We spent many days there on that beach. The beach where we met, the beach where we fell in love. We even were engaged and married on this beach. Written on the sand was a simple message he wrote himself “The Greatest thing to learn is to Love and to be Loved.” When I saw that I nearly cried, I love this man, and I will never be able to give up what he gave up to love me.
