April 22nd.

8:56 pm

Just as I thought you were getting better,

you actually weren't.

Tonight, I saw a lot of scars...

But they're on your wrist.

I tried to be strong,

I tried not to break down,

but the moment I saw your suffering,

I couldn't help the tears that streamed down my face.

"It's not your fault."

You reassured me with a soft voice.

Heeseung,

you're the one who's hurting,

you're the one who's in pain,

So why are you still putting me first?

Come on, Hee,

tell me it's my fault,

tell me I've been a bad lover,

tell me I've been self centred.

Because that's the truth,

I always loved receiving affection from you,

I loved it too much that I forgot that you're in need of them too.

For all this time we spent together,

I probably made you feel uncomfortable,

I probably made you feel muted,

I probably made you feel suffocated,

and I know that sometimes, I also made you feel unloved.

Since day 1, I knew I really didn't deserve you.

But yet again, in the heat of the moment,

I found myself laying down next to you, with your head on my chest and my fingers combing your soft hair.

Like déjà vu,

my eyes was once again staring off to the isolated moon,

with a train of overlapping questions in my mind;

Am I really the cause of your dilemma?

Are you just worried that I'm going to get hurt by the truth?

What if deep inside, you want to leave me?

What if you've already fallen out of love?
