Sometimes you tell someone to stay out of your life completely, taking all the traces of their fingers with them, packing all their clothes in their suitcases, and never having to say the words good-bye to you. You always tell yourself that some people are not meant to stay in your life and that they just add up to the mixed up complications that's already piling and piling on your back. You make yourself comfortable to the idea that someone else is meant to be in your life and they will make every better than what the other one had offered and laid out on you..
But when someone knocks on your door or calls you on your telephone, you wish—almost begging and pleading and hoping—it's them. God, you wish it's him.

Someday, someone's going to walk in your life and make you understand why all other love affairs had to end. It's because this someone, this particular individual, this living creature, is your greatest perhaps, the one your lips have been praying for, the one whom all the stars and even the envious moon have given to you. He's your greatest tragedy and also your greatest first love. When you see him, finally, after the longest wait of your life, you'll see why.
iii.
There will always be a part of me that will love you forever, and a part of me that will always say good-bye to you, not because I'm contradicting what I said beforehand, but because I know that in the end, love is enough to make you stay.
