it was the first time...

these past days were full of sleepless nights. guilt keeps eating up my mind as time goes by. all i do is just think of you and what i have done the other day.

and i was wondering if you felt the same way too.

my mother seemed to have noticed the bags growing under my eyes, so she spoke with me at breakfast today. she told me i shouldn't be spending my days moping in my room and start doing what my heart desires to.

so i followed her advice, and my feet led me to your front door.

and finally for once in many weeks, i felt that the gods were on my side.

the moment you stepped out of your house, i was once again stunned by your beauty. it felt like i was led back to the moment when i first saw you.

you gave me time to talk, even though you looked like you had somewhere to go to since you were dressed up so beautifully, just like how you did on our first date.

i grabbed the opportunity to apologize and hoped to sort things out with you, even though you kept a stern face.

i was hoping that you'd say everything was just a misunderstanding and you'll give me another chance, but when i asked if we can start all over, you told me you couldn't do it anymore and you were already sick of me.

then you spoke of three words that shattered me into pieces.

it was the first time you broke my heart.
