Fireflies.

I remembered there was this movie I saw..they said that fireflies would search for their partner no matter how long it takes..never settling for just any firefly, but for the ONE. And if the firefly couldn't find it's partner in time, it's light would slowly fade away and it will just die alone..

Sounds sad and dramatic isn't it?

Somehow, I find it quite applicable to humans as well. Everyone of us, searches for that one person who would complete us. That one person who would love us truly 'till the day we die. That one person who would make the world seem right when you're going through a storm. That one person who is willing to be with you through thick or thin..

It's funny how it works. There are billions of people in this world but all you need is just ONE.
So how do you know if he or she is the one for you?

Is it when you think about him/her all the time?
Is it when you meet him/her, they'd give you butterflies in your stomach?
Is it when you talk to him/her, they seem so understanding and nice?
Is it when you're with him/her, you'd feel so happy all the time?

I learnt that those are just the feelings of infatuation, like, adoration, lust,puppy love,etc..but it's definitely not true love.

When you truly love someone, you would see beyond the flaws.
You would forgive them even though they're being unreasonable.
You would be willing to sacrifice for that person.
You would be there beside him/her through it all.
You would argue over certain things, but it would all work out somehow.

Basically, the best explanation is found in the Bible itself.

Love is patient, Love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is no self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13 : 4-7

No matter what.. I will always believe in true love. :)
