If all of you have already fallen in love and think that being rejected or brokenhearted is the most heartbreaking one? Well, all you are wrong. I'm saying this cause I've been experienced the most heartbreaking one. I already fell in love when it's already too late.

It happened 3 years ago

(flashback)

I was a high school heartthrob before, a  good boy, etc. until she approaches me. She confesses to me that she has a crush on me, wait, no, she loves me but I rejected her. Still, she pushes herself in me. She said that she will make me fall in love with her. She is the only one I know that who is pushing too much herself to someone and the one who does all the things that a man should do like giving chocolates, love letters, etc.

I'm already getting piss at her attitude and all her doings. I keep pushing her away from me and I even call help to my friends to make her stop. She's always beside me, in the classroom, recess, library, researching, until going home. She never leaves by my side. There's one more thing she always says to me when I always ask her a question...

"When are you going to leave me alone?"

"I'll never leave you ever, Jacob Salvador. Remember that"

That night, I can't fall asleep. The words she said are just echoing in my head. The next night, I choose to get drunk in a bar, flirt with the girls, do a one-night stand, etc. On the other day, after that night, the gossips about me became a bad boy spread to the whole school. She even heard about it. That's the reason why she goes away from me. She hates bad boys. 

I never saw her approaching me again. I feel happy already but I continue my doings. Until one time, I missed her. I don't know why but I missed her doings. When I close my eyes, I can see her face. I even see her in my dreams. Many weeks pass by, the feelings are getting heavier until it hits me, I already love her.

One time, I want to face her already and say that she already won, she had already made me fall in love. But I heard someone that she is already taken, which means she has already a boyfriend. Everyone said that he is her crying shoulder when she was crying every day because of me.

I hated myself that time, I should be her crying shoulder. If I don't make her cry that time I already fell for her and I should be her boyfriend now. But as everybody said, REALITY DO HURT. I do love her but this is for me and her. I need to set her free already. I don't own her now. I'm letting her go already.

(end of flashback)

This day is their wedding. She even invited me to attend their wedding, I said to her that I will surely love to attend their wedding. But actually, I won't attend. I'm leaving the Philippines. I'm going to Canada for a good and a new beginning. I delivered the wedding invitation to her inside of it is a letter. I even delivered to them my best gift.

"I already had you but I choose to let you go, Tiffany. This is the goodbye from now on"

The End

Jacob's Letter to Tiffany:

Dear Tiffany,

              I know this is unbelievable but believe me you already win, you make me fall in love. I want to confess to you already but I choose to be silent after I heard that you have already a boyfriend and now that both of you are now getting married I'm glad and very thankful you approach me for the first time again. I know I lied that I will come but trust me I do want to come but it's breaking me apart seeing the girl I already let go of 3 years ago is now getting married to someone else. It's crazy, right? 'Cause I still love you, Tiff. You said to me that you will never leave my side ever, remember that? I thought you won't do leave but when I change my appeal why did you leave? And with that, I found the answer that you don't love me. If you love me you wouldn't leave by my side. So I let you go. I'm not the kind of boy who broke the relationship of others.

             By the way, I can't get to your wedding day. I'm already going to leave. I will go to Canada for a good and new beginning. If you know what I mean, yes I will be staying there forever. I send you both a gift of sorry and greetings as a newlywed. I hope he takes care of you. If he broke you, I will go home as fast as I could and punch him as I did to myself when I hurt you. Thank you for everything Tiffany. This is the last. I LOVE YOU & GOODBYE.

Truthfully Yours,

Jacob Salvador
