a little tribute and let's move on."Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or neither been
All this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where love takes me to
A part of me will always be with you"i got the above from clara's blog. most of which speaks for certain parts in me that i didnt know how to explain in words. i think sometimes words make things too simple. some thoughts and feelings can never be pieced in any words.
however for my version, i do not have difficulty finding ways to let you go, to move on - now. you might say it's cos of the happiness someone else has been providing me with, i wont deny. but there are certainly other reasons too. i know we both love each other and the years that we've spent together made it even harder to let go. but when this love always find a certain way to make us both hurt, we've to end it.
i'm sorry i didnt believe you when you said it's better we end it and move on a few months back. i'm sorry i was so stubborn and weak that i didnt allow you to go. and i'm sorry that when you decide to give us a chance again, i decide to let go.
for all the misunderstandings you might have of me, it really wasnt easy to come to this decision. i do cry for feeling the hurt i caused you and i do hate myself for doing so.
and i know, i chose to leave, all for my selfish reasons.
because of all the past experiences we share, i'm too afraid to carry on with you. each time we reach a certain happy phrase in the relationship, i start fearing when the pain is gonna drive in again. i'm scared of being at the top of the mountain and having to fall back down real hard, i'd rather not venture there again.
you might say we're both changing and accomodating to each other but how long are these changes going to last and can they last? i feel stupid cos i was the one who kept insisting that we can work on our huge differences and make us both work out when you did say it might not. and i feel even stupider now that i finally see i dont behold the strength in achieving what i believed in.
and i also dont like the feeling of not being able to be myself anymore. i've tried but it doesnt feel right not being able to do the things i'd normally do, like burping out loud in public, vending vulgarities from my mouth, clubbing as much as i want to, etc, just cos i'm in a relationship. i know they are things i should not be proud of but i dont think they're anything to be ashamed of either and i'm certainly not'shitting with my life' like you put it. it's just the way i see life and deal with it. i live it.
i want to thank you for the years we've spent together. for the changes you've tried to make for me. for the amount of effort you did put in. for the care and concern you've for me. and most importantly, for the love we both shared.
and i want you to know, it's not easy, never easy, for me to move on either. i still sit in buses, alone, listenining to my poddy and wonder if there'll ever be a day when i might break down all over again from regrets of making this decision. my heart does hurt whenever i come across the pictures of us in my lappy, my hp, my books, my whatever. and i still want to know if you're doing fine and wish that you'll do fine.
but i strongly want to believe that i will not go down the regrets lane again. i want to find happiness elsewhere. even if there's no one else to give me this happiness, i want to learn that i can give it to myself too. i want to be self-dependent on my own happiness, and i should. everyone should. and even if one day i were to feel the slightest sense of remorse, i want to be able to live with it. i want myself to learn to be strong enough to take it, be happy with the decision i've chosen for myself.
and if anything, i do sincerely hope that our promise to be friends for life even if things doesnt work out, will not be broken.
p.s. i took a long while contemplating if i should blog these out. and now that i finally decide i'm ready to make these feelings public, i've since moved on to another chapter in life.

Knowing Me Knowing YouNo more carefree laughterSilence ever after
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this time we're through
(This time we're through, this time we're through
This time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do
Mem'ries (mem'ries), good days (good days), bad days (bad days)
They'll be (they'll be), with me (with me) always (always)In these old familiar rooms children would play
Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say
