Chance

The chance to meet someone with the same birthday as you is slim. The chance to pass a test without studying is also slim. But we always encounter chance.

The moment I met you, I knew I had to take a chance to introduce myself to make the thought of 'us' something real. We took all the chances we can get just like the chance you took when you left me.

When you left, I was sad. We were given the chance to meet, to be together, to grow together, and to love. We were also given the chance to get hurt; it hurt you to leave and it hurt me to see you leave. But I understand, because you're tired and wanted nothing to do with me anymore.

However, I realized that you leaving gave me a chance to make myself whole again. It also gave me a chance to learn from my mistakes and a chance to love again.
