How Far...?

just wondering...
how far would you go for the people you love?

when i was a lil younger, as a rebellious teenager,
ive done my fair share of stupid things for the boys whom, now that i think about it, dont really deserve them.
but at that point of time,
i cldnt care less.

up till i was 19,
i was still doing stupid things like waiting for a certain someone to knock off so that we can go home together even though i have alr finished my work. (i dont think even the bestfriend knows this :p)
he has got night classes every mon, wed, and fri.
those would be the nights where i wouldnt be home for dinner, because he needs company.
and when i said "go home together", it was actually just 3 train stops.
but for that 6 mins, i was happy.
sometimes, i'd even alight at outram, and make a detour, or go the longer way, just so we can talk longer.
again, at that point, i cldnt care less.
i thought it was all well worth it.
and even though things didnt turn out the way we wanted it to be, it was still worth it.
because i was happy, seeing him happy.

some people wld weigh the benefits, to see if what they are doing is worth it.
but while im calm in most situations, i am unfortunately not when faced with such situations.
ive recieved my fair share of "are you sure it is worth it?" questions being thrown at me,
and again, at that moment, i cldnt care less.
all it takes is a smile, a word of thanks, and i'd think that it's all worth it.

and it's not just about the smelly boys,
i think it's the same for friends.
prolly 8 out of 10 times when i get a call from jo for some random icecream/meal at the very last minute, i'd go. no matter how busy i am.
im crazy about my friends like that.
sad to say that however, im not doing as much for my family ): because im usually on the recieving end of their love, being the youngest and all. i try to, but i know somehow it will never measure up.

come to think of it,
i must have inherited this trait from my mum.
because she's just like that.
a call from me or my bro, no matter how urgent, and she'd be there for us.
same goes for my relatives, grandparents, her friends...
that is how far she'll go for the people she loves.

what about all of you?
