Never Again

Aug. 17. .Rainy.

It was never one sided.

From the moment we got together, both of us felt it. Even when things ended, the feeling lingered. We didn't need to see each other. It still traced behind both of us. But we didn't tell. And in June, when we started to talk again, it grew again. And we confessed.

Don't tell me that I am being inconsiderate. Don't tell me that I didn't initiate anything. The moment we talked again in June was my move. You didn't 'send emails' to me. I sent them. You responded. Again, my initiation. Every phone call was my work. Ever since you returned, I called you over and over. Everyday. I texted. And you? Late responses. Never picked up. You ended things. Not me. I've tried to keep things continuous, flowing.

Summer was hard. I was so happy but so dramatically hurt inside. I wanted to push everyone away. But I kept you knowing that you were a priority. That no matter how upset I was about my personal ordeals, you still mattered. I was willing to spend all my extra time with you. Give it all. Even after a brutal day at work, I still call you until you answer. Yes, I did tell you truths that may have hurt you. But you wanted to be my closest. You wanted to know what ached. I never gave you promises that we'll get back together. And you told me you understood. And just saying my lack of interest in relationships already sends you 'disappointed'. You're not my mom. I don't need to 'impress' you. I have nothing to be ashamed about. Everything I have done these past months have been all I could possibly give to you. I did it from my heart. No shallow purposes. I have no idea why you say you're disappointed in me. Frankly, I find that funny. I've promised a long time ago to myself that I will never cry about anyone. Not a tear. Not for you. I'm tired of crying. Tired of filling my heart with uncontrolled emotions. And if someone that I told so much to doesn't even understand me, then I have no regrets. Oh, wait. Maybe one. Wasting my breath in the first place. It's not my problem anymore. I know that my real friends are the ones that will understand me.

You say that friends are meant to have occasional 'fits'. Sorry. But the friends that I have and love are people that don't pick unreasonable fights with me. They don't accuse me of things that are completely false. How can I invite you to my birthday? Uh, I don't know...maybe because I had no birthday party. No birthday whatsoever. I told you why. My grandpa died and I can't celebrate it. I thought we're friends. You don't remember what I said and you just pointed fingers at me. And I did ask you if you wanted to eat lunch with me. DON'T say that I didn't ask you out. You rejected ME. And a simple 'goodbye' left unanswered on MSN made you 'disappointed'? My computer shut off before I could respond. If you truly understood our friendship, you would know that a small missed 'goodbye' was nothing in comparison.

I may have changed. But I still use all my efforts towards my friends and give them my best.

I don't mind that you don't like me at all anymore. If you think that I'm such a cruel person then good for you for getting rid of me. But the reasons are so stupid that I can't even understand any of them at all. I'm sorry but I can't be friends with someone that expects more than I can possibly offer. Before you accuse ME of being inconsiderate, think about yourself. Almost all the points you picked out against me is actually about you. The act of even sending that email to me is inconsiderate. Friends don't negotiate about these serious things like that. You didn't give me a notice. You just said whatever you wanted to say and then just replied shortly with an half-ass paragraph. You know how much you meant to me. You were always the guy in between it all. Half friend, half boyfriend. I never hid that from you. But I'm done thinking about you. If you still stand firmly on what you believe after this, I have nothing to say to you. I never will.

You promised that you won't hurt me like before.

Loneliness

Aug. 10. .Sunny.

Sometimes things sting. Even when they aren't supposed to.

I miss the feeling of being in loving arms, the touch of my lips with his. His warmth shared with mine. The feeling of being wanted, being thought about constantly. Like I mattered the most. The perfect one, and flawlessly his to keep. However, at the end of the day, I sleep alone now. I think for one person: myself. I can be submerged into freedom. I can stretch my fingers towards my goals, focused and defined. But as I see the eyes of people around me in love...I begin to think about what I used to have, used to feel. And now.

Most of the times...
I'm determined. My eyes are focused on my objectives. I don't see anyone around me. I don't care. I don't feel pain. The Power of Invincibility. Nothing can possibly scratch me, pinch me. Realism is what I practice. Facts over opinion. Acting as though everything is a challenge, attempting to work against me. I look forward, dream forward.

Other times...
Loneliness seeps into my heart. Coldness raises the bumps on my skin. I want to find someone to lean on. Because things can get too cold for me. Too lonely. And I would struggle to keep my eyes from watering. And my eyesight fades and smudges. My heart beings to long and yearn for that unconditional love, those magical hugs, those unbelievable kisses. But that is all imaginary. All too simplistic to grasp.

I understand that there will always be those moments. But they can only remain temporarily. Because I need to be strong. I need to fight for what matters. By myself. I know I can't settle with someone that isn't exact. Isn't my perfect fit. My hand has to be able to intertwine with his effortlessly, naturally. Morals and beliefs mirrored. Lips perfectly fitted. And I'll wait for that special intersection in our lives. In the mean time, I'll keep myself busy, legs moving, mind spinning.
