LifeTime
It was late at night. After I stepped down from your car, I ran while crossing the street heading to my dwelling. I did not know if you've observed my action and the intenseness of my emotion. It was the hardest goodbye I've ever made, disentangling the interlocking fingers, I pretended and made sure to you that I was feeling alright. We had dinner together, we've laughed, we've talked and made ourselves most expressive with frankness in it. I did not want our last night together to be difficult on our part, I've made my letting go in a graceful way. I did not want to spoil the night leaving us with a heavy heart even if I knew that I would not have the chance to be with you again. I am wondering how you've felt at that time, anxious to go home? Did you heard the heavy pounding of my heart, telling the exact feeling that I had? I was searching for your last glance. Up to now, the nearness of you is so vivid in my mind. After locking the door in my room, I went to bed straight and tears were rolling down on my cheeks, it is acceptable to cry sometimes.
Ours was an imperfect relationship but it was founded with great friendship that could have been make it perfect. I would always feel our connection in all of our conversations. I hope that was how you felt too because we've found ourselves talking for hours once either of us would start to say hello. We could share about or day, ideas, pains, complains, uncertainties and frailties and at the end, we were comforting each other. Ah, I miss our friendship and I miss you. Up to now, I would find myself whispering your name, wishing you were here for me once again. You've taught so much to me from time management to life's serious matter as acceptance. I won't forget that you once told me, " If there is no way in life but you want to be happy, you must accept the reality." And this is what I am doing now, learning acceptance and trying to draw it near to myself, accepting that we are not meant to be and whatever we had was only temporary. Well, life is. I understand now that accepting your frustrations in life is never easy at all, I felt your struggle. I come to understand also why we had each other. You never know how much I've wanted you but I do not want you think that I could not stand to my words and promises. If we were matured, we have to be more this time.
I do not know if you would have the chance to read my story which you have a very big part of. It is the perfect scenario an hour before I turned away from you. As of this writing, you always popped up into my mind, every minute of the day just like before. I should have been abhoring you inorder for me to forget you but there is no reason for it. In my heart, i would rather embrace every thought of you as it is the only way of being so near to you again. In my mind, it is impossible, all I have to do is to close my eyes and think of you. I wish all the best in you, I want you to be happy. When you feel like that way, you would remember me. I hope that you've captured a memory of me too in your heart. Thank you for the chance. Thank you for the ring which I never take apart of myself since you've placed it on my finger. I will never forget you. I will always understand you.
