ThE LooK

I believe that the eyes are more powerful than any other organ of the body. By looking at the eyes of a person, one can immediately tell what that person feels. The eyes are the windows to our souls. But sometimes one cannot tell what that person feels because some people can hide their emotions.
Have you ever experienced being looked by someone and then it later bothered you? A look leaves a person with mystery. A look may mean something and it lasts longer than a kiss. That is what the poem "the look" is all about.
The poem talks about a girl who was haunted by a look of a lover. Two men kissed her but those kisses did not last. The look prevailed but the kisses were gone. A single look may mean a lot to a person. You can even say something by just looking. A look is very expressive. By just looking, you can already express your love to someone.
Do you believe in love at first sight? Me? No, I do not believe because how can you love a person you just saw. You need to know more of that person. Yes, you may have a good feeling towards that person but I tell you, it is not love. It can be infatuation or admiration but not love.
Many people passes in our lives. Sometimes you think that they're staying for good. There are times when we think that it is already love that we feel but you will soon find out that it's not. The heart knows if that love is the right one. When you love, use your head and your heart. Balance the two organs. Listen to both.
In my own experience, I had a lot of suitors and I'm not bragging. They all say that they love me but I do not easily believe them. They court me and ask me if when will I say yes. I am afraid to say yes to them because they might just use me for other purposes.They give me gifts and all those stuff toys but giving material things does not mean that they love me. They always say I love you to me even of they have not met me yet. On this day, they say they love me but on the next day they are with another girl. I had three boyfriends already but in all of those relationships, there was no love involved. There was I time when I thought that I was already in love but I soon found out that it was just infatuation. I had this childhood friend and he asked me if he can court me and I satd yes. When I went to Leyte, he said that he will not court me anymore because he do not want to disturb me in my studies. He said that he will just wait for the time that I will be ready. I was happy to hear him say those words. He was not thinking of himself and I can truly tell that it is love he feels. It all started with one look.
