Journey to Love

Oh, my love is like a red, red rose;That's newly sprung in June;Oh my love is like the melody;That's sweetly played in tune......

When I read the poem for the first time, I was looking forward to love.But where is my love ? I began my journey to love. A famous person once said” Don’t worry! Mr Right is waiting for you at the corner.” Yes,I was that

famous person. I met my first love in the senior high school. He was a boy sitting at the corner of the classroom. And I was his deskmate. I liked the hot strip , a kind of snack sold at the school gate. On a sunny day, he gave me a whole bag of hot strip. He said he loved me, and he wanted to buy methe hot strip forever! I was moved to tears.Then he asked me to be his girlfriend,I agreed.This is Love!I found it !

However, in the first year of my college, on a sunny day, I received his call. He said he loved another girl in his school, because that girl helped him in an important exam. They were together after the exam.I only heard the broken-up in the last year of the college ,but it happened to me at the very beginning. When I hang up the call, I was walking in the campus. I thought a lot. I thought of the promises we made together, to go to college together, to work in the same city, to marry......Now they were just like the snack, lying in the dustbin.

No, this is not Love. I began my journey onlooking for true love,again. I began to chat on line.I wanted to know more people.I wanted meet my true love. ”Hello, Can we chat?”is my pet phrase.

As time went by, after hundreds of”Hello, can we chat?”,I met a boy.He would like to chat with me. We chatted a lot .We chatted like old friends.We chatted about everything. Although we lived in the different cities, we had a lot in common. Although he was three years younger than I, we never felt the difference. He liked delicious food, me too! I disliked maths, neither did he. And he liked beauty, just like me! During that time , the most important thing for me ,was missing him and chatting; for him, the same!

We both believed this was love, the true love. One sunny day, he said”Astrea, let’s have a video chat!I can’t stand one moment without you.I want to see you!I want to meet my girl in the reality!””Me too!”I said.Then I turned on my camera, and waited for his. One minute passed, two minutes passed, three minutespassed…….His camera never turned on.I asked him why. He didn’t answer. Then, finally, after a long time like a century,he left a message”I think study is the most important thing for me. I want to go to college. You deserve better.”

I was shocked! I didn’t know what’s the matter. I always thought the feeling between us was love.Looking in the camera, I saw a fat girl , at that moment I seemed to understand something.

Shakespeare said,” The course of true love never did run smooth.”All of you must want to know if I am still looking for the true love. Of course I do. I know puppy love is not love, love on the line is not love. I know myself through these encounter.

Then on a sunny day, I went to a club by chance. There were a lot of strange people. They gathered, but not to hold a party. They just made speeches, and others would applaud for them! What a strange club. They introduced themselves as toastmasters, and everyone was very friendly to each other. When they introduced the club to me, they said I would find my love there. Of course I didn’t believe at first. But I would like to try. As time went on, I began to love this strange place, I began to love these people. No one gave me snack, no one cared my appearance, But every one loved my speech, they gave me advice, they gave me encouragement, and they gave me a lot. Slowly I love here.

Yes , this time I believe I find my love, the true love. It is not puppy love in the middle school. It is not love without knowing. It is the love based on the common interest.

So, all the friends . Just look for your love. Believe me, your love is waiting for your at the corner, just like the red rose!

Thanks!
