They broke up.
It's her doing though, it's her who broke up with him, but then like he is the air, she is drowning in this big ocean and can't find him around. She's an accomplished girl, and though she needs him now, she also needs a lot of other things, things she couldn't have if she had him. They were in love, but it wasn't just right.
And as if it were in one of her dreams, she finds an unread message. From him.
Him: how could you ? Couldn't we last at all?
She sighs and replies as coldly as ever.
Her: excuse me?
Him: move on-how could you?
Did you forget me?
Her: maybe.
Him: but I didn't. I see you in every face, think about you in every living second.
Him: and I am so freaking mad, I didn't fight for you.
Her: yes you didn't.
Him: but you let me go.
Her: and you let me let you go.
Him:I was foolish.
Her: no you weren't and I wasn't. Do we hurt? Yes. But was it the wrong thing to take different routes for now? No.
Her: ... thinking now, would it have gone on had we stayed together, with my plans and yours?
Him: maybe not...
The story, my friends, is that at some point, they were so in love they forgot who they are and what they fight for. Her plans on studying abroad, his on being a famous footballer, if they had gone on in the relationship, they would have let go of it all, or each of them would've fought to gain control of the other until the relationship itself dissolved. It was best to end it early, before they lost it all.
In this life, no one is the other's universe. No one can ever give up everything for the other, it's unfair. But while we are not the universe itself, we are one of the planets revolving around each other's lives, there are also other planets, like dreams and careers. Each planet is just as important as the other. Because every planet is important, we can never sacrifice one for other.
If she had stayed with him, they would've both sacrificed their dreams. They were the right people at the wrong time, and they both knew it. So she takes a deep breath and types: « maybe someday?»
maybe someday.
