Who will you choose?

Earlier I went out with my best friend in the office, we went to Ayala to buy some stuff for the company outing tomorrow. We decided before we go around we'll have to put some food into our stomach…we were both starving!

While we wait for our food at Oh George!, we talked about her lovelife over a cup of carrot soup (which is by the way, delicious!). She has been in a relationship with his 7year boyfriend and last year I remember she said she feels he's not yet the man she's going to marry. At first I thought she just wanted to teach the guy how to be alone and not be dependent on her so much as it's as if his life is revolving around her. He doesn't go out that much with his friends and it's really her girlfriend that became his life. A month ago she told me she broke up with him already and the guy doesn't want it. I couldn't blame her. She doesn't feel anything anymore towards the guy and it was when his mom died that she confirmed she no longer lover her but feels pity only. As we went on with our discussion, a question popped into our minds which is a very familiar question "who will you choose, the one who love you or the one you love?" Then we both stopped and thought thru it and smiled by saying…it's complicated.  The guy is planning to go come over here next month and I thought what if he asks her to marry him. My friend said "Jen, wag naman sana. I don't know."

Yeah, if you are given a choice today, are you going to stay with the one who loves you or the one you love? My answer right now is the one who loves me. This is because I want to make sure that I will end up with someone who will take care of me because he loves me. It is better to think that I know I am safe, that I am the only one for him. But in the future, my answer might change. Who knows?
