"If you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second."
- Johnny Depp
Have you ever found yourself falling for someone when you are already in a committed relationship? Have you ever been in love with two people at the same time?
Falling in love has never been easy. Let us admit it, we fall in love with different people in different ways. And at times, you end up falling for two different people at the same time without you noticing it. Then you ask yourself, is it possible to fall in love with two different people at the same time? The answer is YES. Our heart beats in ways that we cannot even figure out ourselves. So, do not get shocked when you find yourself thinking about two people because you feel the same way towards them.
Let me share to you a story that has happened to a friend recently.
My friend has been in a relationship for two years. During the entire duration of the relationship, she has always been the one who seems to exert much effort in order for it to work. We always tell her to just give up and find someone else because the guy prioritizes other things more than her, but she keeps on telling us that a part of loving is hurting and no matter how much she cries every night because of the broken promises that her boyfriend makes, she will stay.
One night, while I was doing my assignments, she called me and it was the first time I heard her happy again after two years. I thought, maybe her boyfriend realized how lucky he is for having my friend. I was wrong. She called because she met someone new. The call lasted for an hour. She told me everything. How she met the guy, how they kept the constant communication, how sweet the other guy was every time they talked and lastly, how she fell in love with another.
Because of her, I figured out that a person can really fall for someone else even if he/she already has a significant other. In her case, the other guy made her realize that love is a two-way process. Although I am happy for her, I could not help but think of her boyfriend. What if he finds out? What will he feel? Yes, he may not have given her much importance and ignored her for the longest time, but isn't he still a part of her life? Doesn't he deserve to know?
One thing is for sure, you are the master of your own life. Follow your heart and do what it tells you. And remember, you cannot have two people in your life forever. The time will come wherein you have to choose. Will it be number 1 or number 2?
