Truth Doesn't Change The Way You Lie

"I thought you love me... but why can't you look at me in the eyes?" Nagmamakaawang sabi niya habang patuloy na dumadaloy ang ulan sa kaniyang mukha pati na rin ang luhang umaagos sa kaniyang mata.

"I thought you trust me too." I said in the calmest tone I could ever muster.

"I trust you! I trust you more than anyone, Daniel. Why don't you believe me?!"

I never admire rain as it symbolizes sadness but right now, I started to look at it as if it is the beautiful thing I could ever seen. As my tears fell down my cheeks, I started smiling like an idiot.

I breathe deeply before I speak again. "How can I believe someone... someone I love can lie to me?"

"I didn't lie!" She shouted. When a tear fell from her eyes again, I look again somewhere. Somewhere I can't see her like this. It stabbed me on my heart knowing that she's hurting like this.

"You lied to me. The moment you tell me everything, that's the only moment I knew about everything, everything about you." Seryosong sabi ko. I can't just shout out her like she was nobody. Even though she did something crazy behind my back, I respect her so much. So much that she starting to hide everything from me.

"Because I don't want to carry all the burdens. That's only one lie! Isang beses lang 'yon, Daniel. Paano mo ako nagawang iwanan dahil sa iisang kasinungalingan."

Ang sakit naman.

I look at her like she's nobody, fear is evident in her eyes. I took steps towards her so she could see
how I lost my temper at her. Not this time that I already knew everything.

I stopped in front of her where I could see clearly her face. "I didn't leave you. I'm always here, watching you from afar. But remember that the truth doesn't change the way you lie. It will never remove the pain I'm feeling right now."

Then I took a step away and turned my back as she shout my name. As the rain pouring hard, two hearts are shattered into pieces. They are mourning for the love they can't ever have.
