`today,
when i saw your name appearing in my inbox,
i felt,
afraid.
i didn't dare to read it,
or even take a glance at it.
i just left it there, unread.
`when i was on the bus,
i started to think about everything,
everything that's been happening,
and,
i read the message.
`you asked when i wanted those vcds back,
it felt as though you were asking me,
when would i want the love back,
all the care that you once showed,
and all the friendship that we shared,
when would i want them back?
`i replied,
'you can have them,
no one watches them anyway.'
`i guess, i just want you to keep those memories,
the friendship which led to love that we shared,
i know,
i can't expect anything in return,
neither can i hope for everything to be back like last time,
but i,
i don't know what i'm feeling either,
i just,
can't let go.
i rather leave everything with you,
because i still hope someday,
if it ever comes,
every feeling will be regained.
so just leave them there with you okae?
at least they'll remind you of something about us.
`how would you react if you were to know,
i still love and care for you,
and that i can't fulfil that promise?
`i wonder how it feels,
to have that someone thinking of you everyday,
missing you everyday,
asking others how have you been in every conversation,
praying for you to be safe and fine every night before she sleeps,
wishing she could be your guardian angel,
to protect you from all the hurt,
and to make sure you're always happy,
she has her mind drift into thoughts of you with every pause in life.
`and at the same time while she's doing all these,
she's afraid you would find out,
afraid that she'll be a problem again,
afraid that she'll make things difficult for you again.
afraid that she'll barge into your wonderful life,
where you have your best friends and the one you love.
`so she refuses to react to you,
she refuses to show her care,
she refuses to show how much she yearns to say hi,
she refuses to just let you see,
how much she loves and misses you.
`one day,
if you really do get to know,
don't feel bad,
don't care for me just because you feel you owe it to me,
don't feel that you've done me wrong,
don't, just don't
make yourself do what you don't want to do.
`its my fault i can't let go,
i got myself into all these hurt,
so i should blame no one but me,
myself.
`i can't deny the fact that i'm sad,
but,
i just have to bear with it don't i?
it has already been long enough,
enough for the hurt to fade away,
but i clung on,
because i didn't want to stop loving you,
i still want to be with you.
`i can see you're happy now,
well, its always what i've been asking for,
i just really hope you know what you're doing,
and my dear,
i'll cont'd to pray for you not to be hurt, to be sad.
i love you.
`now that i am facing everything,
admitting to everything,
that i still love you,
that i still care,
that i still long to be with you,
i'll have to start all over again,
to try my hardest to let go,
and to forget.
i've been telling myself this right from the day you left.
but i still can't.
i am just so willing to go on crying,
go on getting hurt,
because i really really love you.
but it'll never be requited,
the truth just keeps stabbing me,
right through my heart.
that innocent smile which captivates
