A Five Peso Worth Of Love.

This is the chronology of a person's solicitation of someone else's love; or what you have known in Values Class, the Boy-Girl Relationship.

Someone will get someone else's number.
"Hi."
(You can add history of how you've met, where you got the number, etc, and all the trying-to-connect-and-sound-familiar-with-the-girl-communication)

Someone will start conversing via text messaging.
"Unlitxt20"
(You know that somebody's serious about this conversation)

Then she answers...
"Hello."
(Trying so hard not to make it look easy)

Talk about interests, how you been the whole day, etc.
"Ay, ako rin..."
(Of course, who doesn't want "compatibility")

Impress me more.
And impress me some more.
As the conversation ends with goodnights and sweet dreams.

Not till you're already in a point of virtual hugging and pa-tweetums kiss.

Then you'd meet, personally, on a daily basis, be it in the school, in the neighborhood or someplace else.
You'll start with group and as days pass there's just the two of you.

He'll text her how happy he was for that day.
She'll blog it.
And then the whole world knows it.

"Kayo na?", friends would ask.
She'll smile.
And man, he's serious to get her.
But why?

Days, weeks, months have passed.
There were celebrations.
And a lot of sweet nothings.
And a lot of sacrifices(?). -Sacrifices, huh?

There were I love you's and I miss you's.
And "the promises".

All the time she would believe him.
She would treasure "important messages". Looks like her phone is made for his messages, eh?
Tell the world about it. Show some couple pictures on the internet!
Hey, see us kissing and hugging and petting, WE ARE ON BED.
(I wonder what happens after that picture was taken on the bed)
But let not my parents know about it. Privacy Settings


He would spend money, time, effort for her.
His parents' money, I mean.
Would borrow daddy's car.
Would borrow his parent's house. (Hmm...)
"Sa bahay na lang tayo, wala sila mommy."
Out of towns are such a holiday, for the travelers and the ones who are left at home.

You get the point -SEX
A box of condom, how much is it worth?
She wouldn't mind. It's safe anyway.
It's all he could offer. They've been together for a long time anyway. It's time.
And it's trending.

Conflicts arousing along with sex drive.
Lust in exchange of love.
Impurities. Immoralities.
They call it love.

That's her worth.
That's his "love".

They didn't know that there is no greater love than the love that laid down His life for His friends.
She didn't know.
And he doesn't want to avail that kind of love.

It's gonna be a long wait.
They couldn't wait.
Didn't know delayed gratification.
Never heard of it.
Or they just don't want to hear it.

That's the rate of the "love" that people have nowadays. They publish photos, posts, and whatnot about their "love" and not being honest with what is really happening.

She is very special to him. But deep inside her she is broken.
He looked at her and for a moment, realized that she's not what he wanted yet.
He just damaged someone else's future wife.
And bought her with a five-peso worth of love.
