__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A TATTOO, a permanent picture or design on the skin: a permanent picture, design, or other marking made on the skin by pricking it and staining it with an inedible dye. as crazy as it sounds.. why does this simple definition of the word tattoo, was able to put an impact on me?

the feeling of sudden gloom came to me, when I randomly searched for the definition with no apparent reason. random googling, I know, I was bored. but, it left me to realize a thing.

I, like everybody else in this world, fell in love once. He was such a nice guy. My best friend to be exact. But, to my demise, I ended up getting hurt. I thought, there might be a possibility that, this is it, he's the one. He'll be the one to tale care of me, to love me, and will never hurt me, and to never leave me in the dark, crying my eyes out in pain. but, that last part, exactly happened.

at first, I took it lightly. since I was just testing my self if I was actually ready for a relationship. but, man! that plan completely went to dust.. because, I ended up falling in love with him. the first relationship, the first love, the first everything, and it was forever embedded in my heart.

like a tattoo, my love for him will forever be the same. like a tattoo stained on my heart, it is permanent and it is a feeling that cannot be erased. though the pain is pricking my stained heart. although the pain is unbearable. one thing is for sure, the love that I have for him, will always be there.

will he ever come back?

after what he did?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sunwoo and I were out. we just finished our classes so we decided to take a walk at the near park by our university and dorm. and I noticed he was being unusually quiet. which was very suspicious, at the same time I was worried. he hasn't spoke in ten minutes not even a simple mumble.

what was wrong? I thought.

"Nahi, we need to talk." those were the first words he said after the past ten minutes we've been walking down the park. it was a simple day, sunny and bright. the sky was a bright blue, the sun was shining brightly. the atmosphere surrounding us was happy and carefree. but, guessing from what he said, this looks like a serious manner.

I looked at him and smiled, "what about?" I asked.

"something." he said and pulled me towards a bench and sat me down. I tilted my head and waited for him to speak, "so? what is it about?" I asked.

"it's about us, Nahi."

"us? what about us?" I asked, furrowing my brows.

"I think we need to break up."

my eyes widened at what he said, why? everything was okay. did I do something wrong? was I not enough? was he going abroad or something? or am I too much too handle? why?

hundreds of questions started spiraling my mind and it made my heart clench. tear were forming in my eyes, the pain was starting, the sadness was starting to come to me, is this was heartbreak feels like?

"why?" I looked up at him and asked. "what's wrong? what ever it is, tell me and I'll fix it." I added, "just.. don't leave me.." quietly saying the last part.

he sighed and kneeled in front of me, holding my hands, "Nahi.. I'm sorry.." he says. "it's just that, I don't love you anymore."

I don't love you anymore.

I don't love you any more.

I don't love you anymore.

five simple words that hurt a hell lot.

"I'm sorry." those were the last words he said before standing up and walking away.

when I came back home from the park where Sunwoo broke up with me and left me. my body directly collapsed to the floor. everything I was holding in, my tears, my pain, that I have been holding in for the public to not see in that park, it all came out.

so this is heartbreak.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I wiped my tears as I once again remember the thought. what pains me the most, even if I have gone through pain and sorrow with him just simply breaking up with me, like a tattoo, the pain and the love I had for him was permanent, just like the ink that was stained on my left wrist. I stared at the tattoo. it was beautiful, but it was also miserable. no matter how hard I try.. it was like a tattoo.. not erasable.

so this is heartbreak.
