In Love, Never Say Never

As Marcus looked at me, I could see his expression darkening. “Do you know how it feels to struggle alone in the darkness?”

I pursed my lips. I wanted to apologize but the words were stuck in my throat.

“Scarlett, I used to love you. But now, I hate you as much as I loved you in the past.”

I couldn’t believe these words would come out of Marcus’ mouth. Stunned, I was lost in my thoughts for a long while.

When I was back in high school, I learned about the law of conservation of energy in physics. Later, I learned that in political materialism, it was also believed that conservation was everything.

Back when we were young and naive, we thought that everything we learned in school was purely about astronomical geography. Thinking it over then, I finally came to the realization that we had actually learned life lessons throughout those years without even noticing it.

There was no such thing as unconditional love in this world. It was impossible for love to exist without attached conditions. In fact, love was all about to give and take. The relationship between two people was designed to be an exchange process. If you enjoyed receiving all the love and affection from your partners without making any effort to return back, the uneasy feeling in your heart would never fade away.

I would probably never be able to face Marcus in my lifetime.

He’s right. He was the one who got me out of hell. So why didn’t I reach out my hand when he was in hell?

After he left, I stayed up all night sitting in the living room. I was in no position to judge Marcus. Every step he took was him trying to find peace in his heart.
