The Break-Up

I was in love. I am still in love. Then this morning she broke the news that I've been dreading for the past month. Cool off daw muna kami.

I froze. I felt numb. Cold. I started to shiver. I felt like life, for a moment, was sucked out of me. I wanted to fight for us but she does not want to. I felt powerless.

I told her I had so much love to give but she does not want any of it. So I let her go.

I stayed true to my promise that if ever she wants out I won't beg for her to stay. I won't get mad. I won't curse which is totally out of character.

I wished her a good life and that she would meet someone who could give her the happiness she did not find in me.

I still feel like crap.

I got dumped.

Hmmm... 'di ba magkaiba naman ang break-up sa cool-off?

Oo nga, badtrip nga yung nangyari.

Ako ang ginagawa ko pag badtrip ako nag-be-busy-busyhan ako: anything from jogging, reading, going out. But I do everything alone; hirap kasi pag may kasama, baka sa kanya ko mabuhos sama ng loob ko, ehehe.

The Scud said...

Eloisa said...

it's never easy, you know. It'll pass too...(I can't offer any concrete advice yet, though)

Wallow in pain for a while and then move forward. I'm sure someone better will come along -- some unsolicited blurbs.

Raft3r said...

never ko naintindihan ang concept ng cool off
ano yon?
type ka pa rin nga
but she needs space
women...

Kevin said...

I don't get her. Cool off is like "cooling down" from a relationship. It's totally different from a break-up. However, an indefinite cool-off equates to a break-up, so why didn't she just called it a break-up after all?

Maybe it's just a euphemism for her not to "break" your heart. But it still did.

Anyway, just breathe in and out.

The Scud said...

raft3r > hehe. spaceman na nga ako ngayon. lost in space.

kevin > kaya nga kinukulit ko sya. something happened yesterday and it's finally over. i'll live. si scud ata ito. :D
