A story of old: “it only hurts when the more i pretend that we can never be more than friends”

Funny, it never crossed my mind nor in my wildest

dream that this line of a song would be of any

relevance to me... it seemed so inappropriate for

my personality and how i feel...
Alas, like a dagger, it pierces right through my

thick hide...
After so long, am i turning soft again?
that there maybe something or someone warm enough

to melt a heart etched in ice?
For so long, i have tried to imprison every bit of

anxiety, every parcel of obscurity that was

present a lifetime ago...
i tried to suppress what to me was a threat to my

eloquence and tranquility...
This assured uncertainty has left me clueless

before...
Then what of now??!!?
Through the years, i have gained confidence,

acquired experience and snatched maturity just so

as i could avoid such deceitful encounter.. i kept

myself busy; doing anything and everything so

"this" would never happen again...
And now because of a dream; because of some random

spontaneous subconscious manifestation, everything

i've done, everything I've become and everything

i've sacrificed will come to no existence...

For some time now, i was led to believe that

"Friendship is more important than anything else"
True, i was blinded by this notion but it worked

out for me...
I developed so many unspoken bonds, som many

righteous score and so many loyal friends...
(But at what cost?)

i am a man of risk... But you're something so

precious, so much fragile that you're a dare i

wouldn't risk to take...

Because of your past and my past, there may not

hold a future for us...
What we have now is something special...
Though its a bit shady and superficial, its,

nonetheless, a relationship i wouldn't trade for the

world..

You are and always be my angel...
This thing between will never fade
coz i think its better this way...
much better...
(HAH! "i think" for 4 years now that's what i kept

consistently doing... always made sure that my

head was clear and running...never ever have i let

those emotions or even my heart dictate my thoughts

and actions...)
Maybe that's why it grew cold...
So cold that it became frozen 'til its very

core...

I may sound so overly melodramatic.. but that's

just me...
Coz one thing i've learnd is that its really hard

to love when you got too much to hate...

Why must everything be so simple yet complicated..

so hard to understand yet easy to explain?

This would be the 1st and last of my upheaval...
this outburst will be just be a though 'coz by

the end of the day, everything would jsut sink

into an abyss of perplexity
it would just be another loss to a reality of

complications...

We both live different lives now...
Though we are still close, i now exist in a place

far different from yours...
while you go about your day oblivious to my

pain, i stagger aimlessly to wherever you

maybe...
But like i said this would be the last, this truth

will only end up like any sweet memoirs before,

buried in a castle of clouds and sand...
Keep in mind, we are still friends..
NO, i choose to be one coz i love you too much...
Though sometimes i feel it aint mutual, still just

to see you alright is more than enough (I think..)

Sadly, you can never know; better yet, you will

never know this revelation of mine...
coz by the time you do, (which is by the time the

clock of maturity hits and wakes you up and finally you

are able to grow up) i'll either be with someone else or

buried six feet under...

This has been too long and too exhausting...
it has been one controlled chaotic ride...But much

as much, im glad im on it...
Well, this is the end..
i now will put again a faceless mask...
a mask to hide those inconceivable flaws, a

barrier where i can escape from the reality of you

and juxtapose with those insecurities...
So take care my angel...
i'll see you around...
I love you sO... ( i guess you already know that..)
