PENNY
Weeks later...
WHEN is the right time to let go?
Before, I managed to let go of the things that were hurting me. I thought that I was already strong enough to save myself from getting hurt.
But now, I realized that Iʼm not as strong as I think I am.
Because as long as I love, I will always get hurt.
The pain is inevitable. No matter how hard you try to let go of it, it will always resurface to bring you down to your knees.
To love is to suffer in pain, because with love comes pain. It's something you can consider as all or nothing.
But if you ask me, the worst part of it is when you give all the love you can give, until thereʼs nothing left for you to give anymore other than pain.
And unfortunately, that kind of fate tragically befell on us, and itʼs all my fault.
I loved him too much, to the point that I kept holding onto him so tight.
I loved him too much, to the point that I forced him to fight even when weʼre already tired.
I loved him too much, to the point that I failed to give myself even a tiny bit of love that I keep giving to others.
I loved him too much, and I ended up losing myself all over again.
Baka nga... Baka nga tama siya. Baka nga dapat hindi ko na lang siya minahal kung magiging ganito ako ka-selfish nang dahil sa pagmamahal na 'yon.
But still, I regret nothing — except that I let this love consume what was left of the respect I have for him and myself.
I ruined our story that wasnʼt even written in the first place.
I ruined what we had.
I ruined us.

"HEY there, Bitchshiewap." I smiled, placing down the red rose that I bought onto the metal plaque.
Weeks have already passed ever since Jago flew to Italy to start over and live a new life. Nakakalungkot na umalis siya, pero iniisip na lang namin na itʼs for his own good. After all, heʼs doing his best to get his life back together, and all we could do was give him our full support. Tsaka, nagkakausap naman kami through social media, pero minsan lang din dahil gusto namin siyang mag-focus sa bago niyang buhay sa ibang bansa.
