Do you ever wonder why I keep myself so busy? I think you have gone through something like this in one way or another. I drown myself in schoolwork, extracurricular activities, feeding programs, tree-planting events, excursions, trainings and Journalistic workshops for the reason that I might as well forget about Luke Verhona in the process. So far, it’s not going well. Every time I pause for a breath of air, I could remember him. When we were together, I’d always tell him how similar he is to the wind. He would creep up towards me and I wouldn’t notice until he’d start to tickle me to death. He’d lull me to sleep with his voice. He’d hold me close like a protective layer yet gently like the breeze. And like the wind, swiftly he came into my life, swiftly he left as well. It felt awful. (remind me not to make analogies of my next boyfriends to things that are almost everywhere.)
Mom is quite worried about me doing so much stuff that after I eat, straight to bed I go. I barely ate either. It is not that the food is awful, (mind you, Mom is the best chef there is.) I just don’t feel like eating. Some nights I couldn’t sleep. Some nights I cry myself to sleep. And one night I woke up at 4 am because of a stupid nightmare…
“Fairytales, huh? You’re such a kid. And I don’t find myself marrying a kid.” Luke’s eyes were looking heavy with disgust. I was looking at him, hurt and frightened. “Go away, Al, leave me alone. I don’t want you in my life anymore.”
I woke up that morning all cold and crying. Never have I felt so alone.
