Why Did You Choose Me?


We were lying in bed, reading quietly. We probably looked like one of those boring old couples in a family-oriented film.Very un-hot.

"Why did you choose me?" my husband asked out of the blue.

"Ha? Whatever do you mean?" I answered, not really comprehending the context of the question. And yes, I hate that I can't get rid of that annoying 'Ha?' whenever I get surprised with a pop quiz.

"Well I'm not really the usual type you go for, and yet here we are."

Usual type? He must be referring to the likes of Won Bin, Takeshi Kaneshiro and other celebrities that I swoon over. But who doesn't, right?

"Besides, I'm not the affectionate type that clingy people like you look for," he continued as he chuckled. Clingy? He just had to slip that in.

"You could have chosen someone else. One who probably deserves you better," he finished.

I didn't know where he was headed with this. I wanted to say he's got it the other way around, but I'm usually not good at picking the right things to say. And he may think he is not a Won Bin, when for me, Won Bin could never be who he is to me.

I kept quiet and thought about what he just said. Do we really choose the ones we love? We may screen those we let into our lives, but do we have the same liberty with who we let into our hearts?

I took his hand, and my head found its usual spot on the crook of his shoulder. And beyond the silence, with my head and heart cradled where they have always fit perfectly, he understood everything that I wanted to say.

That last paragraph cut right through. I, too often find my words to be disarming. It's these little moments that define us. Cheers to you and your love! :)

being loved and in love can never be defined. as to who we love and who loves us can never be questioned. we always have our "wish to be bf/gf" but we always fall into someone out of that and no definition...

yeah! cheers to you and your love! :-)

Ako kras ko si Wu Chun. :)

Masarap mag-usap kapag tingin, sulyap, haplos at akap lang ang gagawin mo.

I can stay all day long in bed, staring at each other, in a cold room, holding hands, cuddling like you just don't wanna let go...

for somebody good with words when written, i'm a bit shocked why you became speechless.. but actions do speak better when expressed. Nice one, Sean! ^_^
