Sorry

I made a mess of us. How could I say love when all I do is hurt you?

An unforgivable mistake it was I had to admit. And I could never blame you. Until now I could see your tear drown face. I could sense the pain, the anger, the misery. All I could do was look at you. There was nothing to say. Defend myself I never tried to do; that would make you more miserable.

I surrender my case. I pleaded guilty. Sentence me to a life of suffering without you.

The night was still young when you saw me. You caught me building walls between us. Stupid, it was stupid of me not to consider you, not to think of the consequences of my actions.

Yet it already happened. There was nothing I could do anymore.

I'm sorry.

That's all I could muster. The strength to express myself has evaded me. My thoughts were filled with anxious ideas, with guilt recollections and with pleading reckonings. Guess this is what guilt could do...imprisoned you with your own ghost. That's how I am now. That's how I am feeling at the moment.

Forgiveness I beg you but I would also understand if you would deny me that. I hurt you and there's nothing that could mend the broken pieces of your heart. You have loved me so much. You have sacrificed a lot just to make that love real, just to make me feel how much you mean. And despite all, I hurt you. It was a pain like no other.

And you don't deserve that.

Again, I am sorry.

I know that you are trying to move on without me. You learned your lesson. Though I would try to win you back, it would make things more difficult for both of us. You have lost that love. You have lost that trust in me. You have lost confidence in us.

From then on, I would refrain from seeing you. I would avoid looking at you. And if ever a need arises to have a talk with you, then I would do it with all the civility I could.

I would do this not because I do not love you anymore, but to make things easier for you, for me, for both of us.

Love you, I still do so much. Yet it would be difficult for you to believe that anymore. You deserve to be happy, to be loved.

Ahhh, this never would be easy. I was the one who made it happened. I was the one who betrayed that love. I was the one who hurt you.

This is my sentence. I deserve this.

I'm sorry, tay.

Swimming

We went for a night swimming. My friends and I enjoyed the cool breeze of the starry night in Alroa (that's the name of the resort). Well, I did not exactly go for a dip but as I said I enjoyed the night and the thought that I was out of home. I rarely get out of the house since vacation started. I just don't know but I was actually afraid of leaving home after that 'incident' that happened a week ago. It frightens me til now. Having survived that, I believe it was kinda life changing. It made me change the way I look at my life now. It feels weird but I really enjoy being at home, with my mom and being alone with myself. But I had to admit that it is suffocating at times. I need to get out to breathe some fresh air and enjoy a refreshingly new environment. I believe that everyone of us, once in our life, well, maybe more, experiences that kind of imprisonment. We feel we are being burdened by our loneliness, that it is okay to be alone. But hey, one day, we will wake u...

Ash Wednesday

Today Lenten season begins. Together with the Filipino participants, I am going to attend Mass for the traditional ash-marking in the forehead. Since I am in a far away land, it is an opportunity for me to look back and reflect on how my life has been. I know I have a blessed life. I have been given so much. And I am thankful for all that come my way. There were good memories. There were sad memories even painful ones. But even the littlest detail of my life has been a lesson learned. When I picture the people who are always there for me in my mind, I just can't help but ask, have I been there for them ?In the process, there were those who came and left their marks behind yet there were those who came and left scars in my heart. Nevertheless, somewhere in my life, I have been me. I was touched. I was hurt. And nothing compares the pain of loneliness, of emptiness, of being ignored. As the season unfolds, let it be my resolve to look back and let go of the heavy burdens in my load. ...

Been Some Time

It took me some time to make another entry. Not that I am busy. I do not even admit that to myself. Not that I do not have the time. I have all the time I need. Not that I do not have anything to write about. So many things have happened in between. Just can't explain the lull. Maybe I am just too lazy to put my thoughts down. Anyway nobody cares or bothers. But I told myself what the heck. This gives me the impetus to go on living and live I will. There are pains. I felt pains. I am still having them now. I think the pain will stay. Whatever causes the pains, that I could not understand. Sometimes it is self-inflicted. I deserve it. For not knowing how to handle life, I deserve all the pains. That is gross. It's unfair. I thought I was doing myself justice. But why do I have to punish myself for being what I am? I have my limitations, my strengths, my weakness. I am well aware of them. I could not help it when I would not be accepted as I am. I just let be. As I ponder on the ...
