I know that the pain I'm feeling right now
is nothing compared to what
you've been through.
I wanted to take all the pain
that is still streaming through your veins
so you don't have to remember her
everytime you feel the pain she left you.
I don't care if my existence
means nothing to you
But what's important to me
is to be with you through your ups and downs.
It sounds stupid, I know.
I do feel tired whenever you talk about her
because I can feel every emotions
she makes you feel.
Honestly, I'm jealous of her.
I envy her to the point that
I wish you'll move on quickly;
so we don't have to talk about her anymore.
Praying that the last chapter you had with her is slowly closing;
That if ever someday, her message will pop up,
you'll ignore it because
you're doing your best to forget her.
You will let her feel
that there's no reason to come back
simply because you're done.
That you'll be proud to say,
"I've moved on. Thank you for the memories. I wish you happiness."
Until then,
I'll choose to stay
I'll stick to my word.
I'll prove to you that I'm not like her.
I'm just here, you know that.
Even if I lose myself in the process of being with you.
