Expect the unexpected, they said. It's like the sky fell on me when he said those dreaded words, "If you still want me, please forgive me, the crown of love has fallen from me." He left me speechless, so speechless. I took a deep breath and walked out the restaurant, tried hard to hold back my tears. I didn't want him to see me wearing emotions on my sleeve.
I took a different route back home. I chose to walk instead of taking a cab. It was a long journey indeed yet I was too torn to feel fatigue. Reminiscing what we both have been through all these years, through thick and thin, i kept questioning why did he choose to give up that night?
Nothing hurts more than realizing that he was everything to me but i am just another typical girl from college to him. I came to notice his changes a few weeks back. He's nothing like he used to be now. No more late night calls, random text messages, we barely even go for dates anymore. My mistake was still holding on to him after he had let me go. Relationship without trust is like a cellphone with no service. What do you do with a cellphone with no service? You play games.
I doubted enough. So one day after class, I met him and i said "I wish we could just sit and talk and figure out how we feel about each other." He looked at me with his James Dean glossy eyes and replied, "Alright love, 8pm tonight, David's Dinner."
I really thought we could fix things out. I was wrong. You never wanted that way. What more could i say? People change, our days go wrong, shit happens, but life goes on. I'll take this as a life experience. I learn not to take things for granted, I learn not to believe sweet talks and promises, and I learn not to give up. When the going gets rough, and you feel like you may fall, just look on the bright side because it might be stormy now, but it can't rain forever :)
