How do you know you are in love? It is possible to actually be in love with just one person and to spend for the rest of you lives together with him?
You know that you are in love with him whenever you wake up, his face was the first to pop out from your mind.
You know that you are crazy for him when, he walked passed you and as you tried to catch his sweet smell, suddenly your heart stopped beating for a brief moment.
You know you have fallen for him when one day he sent you home and just before you went inside, you turned on your back just to get a glimpse of him. And at that same particular point, he was actually turned back and looked straight into your eyes.
You know you are in love with him whenever you wanted to see a new-released movie, the only one that first pops into your mind is him. Everytime you see him, your cheek would go numb afterwards, for having too much laugh upon hearing his useless jokes. Your face turned red whenever your friend started to match you with him and how your heart system nearly crashed whenever you see him with someone else eventhough it was her sister.
When all things get accounted for, for once you’d think you could gamble your life with him in spite of his imperfections.
You know your friends were getting tired of your excessive story about him. But you are so in love that you couldn’t care less. Your concerned friends have been telling you about his history, but you pushed've it aside and convinced he wouldn't hurt your heart at all. A bit. Never at all.
You believed him, in spite of all that. You believed him so long he won’t be caught red-handed. Yes, you believed him to that extent because you are soo in love with him.
At times, it has made your friends being left out. Most of the time, you kept your distant and by spending your time talking on the phone or texting him instead of enjoying the time with the rest of your friends, much to their dismay. Your friend were unhappy, since they did not get to see you that much, but they tried to understand that. And they did. They undertood that their friend is in love.
They are all truly happy for you. You have never been the same before this. You have never been known as someone who can commit to one person. You, too, have envisioned how wonderful it would be just to have the same future with him.
But it didn't turned out that way.
In fact, he has left you with all the bitterness inside. When you thought he could not hurt you, he was actually the one who has left you with a large scar on your heart. And it was like someone has shoot point-blank at you with a realisation that all these while, he was actually did not fell for you the same as you have fell for him. But yet he did not confront you, and you had to discover on your own through someone else.
It was hurtful, I know. Your friend too, has never expected it to happen to you. With all the wedding date set-in, they have thought you will be truly happy ever after.
Questions with pity started to pour in;
"How could he do that to you?", "How could he fake his feeling all these times to you?", "How can he be so selfish when all you did was giving all the love and the trust that you had to him and only him?" I am that friend, the one that he went to when it all of his self has fell apart because of her. Because of her selfish act.
I am that friend who had witnessed his transformation from someone who has never bothered to return a call from a girl who has crush on him into someone who has been putting a lot of efforts just to be with that stupid girl.
Having known him for all these years, I knew that despite of his calmness when he confided me with the story, he was actually at his ends because of her. I could see in his eyes almost in tears, filled with sorrowness, having his heart being crushed simply like that upon her revelation.
It seemed that he has wasted his time envision something that actually did not belong to him in the first place. She has never loved him.
I'm sorry dear. I should have been a better friend than this. You have always stood by me, be the only source of my strength when I felt no one really stood by me with what has happened with me recently at my school. You always believing in me, because you are a true friend that one could ever ask for.
You could have diss me like others would and could simply say that it was none of your freaking business, but you didn't. In fact you have encouraged me with your strong words every day until you are sure that I would not fall apart.
I should have been a better friend that I could have. I could have told you that she of no good. But I didn't because I didn't want to break your heart. I hate it when all I could do is to say I'm sorry when I could have done something for my dear friend. It breaks my heart to see you nearly cry because of her. And for that, I'd cry for you, too, Ed.
