I didn't plan on this ,
I always followed my heart ,
I always wanted to rush head first even after knowing I'll be hurt , because -
that's who I was -
someone who always harkened
to the call of the heart ;
I didn't plan on this -
I didn't .

I didn't know that my heart would wither and freeze and blacken
in the process .
I didn't know .

But now ,
what has happened ,
has already happened .
There is nothing that I can do .
Even though I want to ,
I just can't want to .

I am glad I stopped - feeling .
I am glad I cannot feel
love , hope , happiness , pain , joy .
Ability to feel just puts you in
so much of responsibility .
I didn't know
how , when , it happened ;
but it did .

Good that it did ,
because ,
I wonder what would have happened if I could still feel .
I could not have been able to absorb all that pain of being having
your lover breathe in the
other side of the world ;
for years and years ...
still loving , with the uncertainty to even meet again in the distant future .

He doesn't know
that I refuse to get close ,
to be attached more .
I pretend as if I'm unaware
of the walls I built again .

Good that I don't feel anymore .
Good that I'm stopping
my insides to be affected .
Because now ,
there will be no pain .

I know , to not feel , is ruthless .
But then , I don't want to go back to those days on cold floor
when I cried to death .
I'm too coward to feel .
