Glass Pieces

Dear Failo,

Now i know that it is wrong for me to love a broken man like you. There will always be a missing piece that I can't fill in because I'm different from the one you truly loved. I'm not enough to patch your heart together and to heal it completely. All this time i searched for an answer on why... Why do i have to feel this way if I'm the one here beside you? Loving you and feeling your presence each day....

And now that I'm enlightened, i should have been aware from the start that a broken piece can't heal it's own kind. That as you look at someone from a far as you love someone new, that will also be the feeling of that certain someone you're keeping but only in a different situation.

As i leave you with this letter, i want you to be free from the burden of making me feel loved. I want to also take this as an opportunity to thank you for staying. Letting me feel the warmth of your love and passion.

Always here to support you,
Ceil.

Millions of emotions hit me as i read her last words for me before letting me go. I never asked for this...

I'm not caged by her to make me wish for freedom. It was the other way around...

Our relationship is comforting, full of passion and freeing...

Freeing....

We enjoyed each others company so much it almost seems like we're already married. Others may find us the "ideal" relationship but for sure we're not that perfect. We are well aware of that.

What we are right now is the proof that their concept of ideal relationship is imperfect. Things that are real and too perfect is nothing but mere fantasies.

Natauhan lang ako ng may kumatok sa pinto ng kuwarto ko. Nanatili akong nakaupo sa sahig at nakasandal sa dingding ng kwarto ko. Nakayuko ang ulo at nakapatong ang dalawang braso sa binti. Wala parin akong lakas... Gulat parin ako sa mga nagyari.

"Nak, dinner's ready. Can you eat now?" Boses iyon ni Mama.

Hirap man ay pinilit ko paring magsalita. Para narin hindi sila mag-alala ng husto sakin. Ayaw ko na silang idamay sa mga pagkakamali ko bilang tao. Matanda na ko para dito.

"Kaya ko na, Ma. Bababa na ko. Maghihilamos lang muna ko."

She hummed. Halatang nananatya sya kung okay ba talaga ako. She always find a way to make me answer her questions even if i don't want to. That might work to me but i will make sure to not fall for that now.

I stood up and walked towards the bathroom to wash my face and to brush my teeth.

I took a quick glance at my self in the mirror after i washed my face.

I chuckled sarcastically. "I really did cried a lot, huh?"
