Waiting for someone to teach me to love and be loved

Winnifred 2022-03-21 09:02:52

I started watching "If Only" at two o'clock last night, a warm and slightly sad movie. I couldn't bear to sleep at three in the morning, and I woke up this morning to watch the ending.

The question is, what would you do if such an "if" really existed?

Would you exchange your life with your lover if you knew the unchangeable outcome of that day? To face the fear of death?

When we know our destiny, maybe we can work hard to save it, try to change, and at least give each other a perfect last day. However, we have no such opportunity after all. So, whether habitually will be replaced by indifference and hurt.

At the end of the film, in the heavy rain, Ian said to Samatha: Thank you for being the person who taught me to love. And to be loved.

Yes, thank you for teaching me to love and be loved.

Maybe, people really grow up overnight. But definitely not on your 18th or 20th birthday. It's an emotional experience, a person.

I look forward to a love that can make me grow. I don't know how long to wait? Maybe, I can never wait, I will always be a child who does not understand love.

If Only quotes

  • Ian Wyndham: Close your eyes. Happy graduation.

    Samantha Andrews: Oh my God.

    Ian Wyndham: Some of the charms are old and some are new. That's a musical note, a violin. This one is a flower, what is no sense of matter at all, except it was exquisite much like yourself. Let's see... the train that we took today. And... that's the Eiffel Tower that you've always wanted to see. And... this frying pan, cause you are the only person that I know that can actually do the flipping thing. And... this one's a heart... my heart... it's yours now.

  • Ian Wyndham: I guess what I'm trying to say is... I want to soldier on. I really do. Okay?

    Samantha Andrews: No.

    Ian Wyndham: No what?

    Samantha Andrews: I don't... want to soldier on.

    Samantha Andrews: Ian, if I were to stay in London now, it would be for you. For us. And I would do that in a heartbeat if I knew we were really special.

    Ian Wyndham: We are.

    Samantha Andrews: Really? You never tell me how you feel or talk about yourself. You don't want to meet my family. You forgot my graduation. We run into my favorite student and you act as if he has something contagious.

    Samantha Andrews: Ian, I know you have the best intentions, but I feel like I'm a really high second priority to you. That hurts. And the worst part is I'm starting to get used to it.

    Ian Wyndham: I don't understand.

    Samantha Andrews: I know. That's what kills me.

    Samantha Andrews: If there had just been one day Ian, one day where nothing else matters but us.

    Ian Wyndham: I adore you.

    Samantha Andrews: I don't want to be adored, I want to be loved.

    Samantha Andrews: I can't do this anymore.
