I found it hard to breathe after I closed the gate for him. I couldn’t believe the way I let all the chances pass by. I couldn’t believe he just said yes. It was surprising to see his eyes sparkle – where did his eyes get that glare; it was already twilight?
What a complete dumb I was. How could I be so stupid? Did I just arrange for a date between my best friend and the person I have come to like so much? Did I just tell her that he composed the best love song I’ve ever heard? Did I ask her to try to get to know him so she’d find out for herself how talented and admirable he is? Did I just suggest that he initiates the correspondence between them? Did he just say yes, he would invite her for a date? Didn’t he laugh so hard while has was telling me he wouldn’t bring me along?
My best friend’s testimonial was really accurate. She said I liked watching my favorite chocolates on display at a store but would never think of buying them. I need not consume the things that I want just to enjoy them, or maybe I consume them in ways that may ensure their preservation, so that others may also avail of the opportunity that I take advantage of. But he is in no way similar to a chocolate bar – he’s not sweet, he’s not presentable, he’s the same inside-out – no wrappers to conceal the goodness within. But I like him more than Lindt goodies. And he knows what he wants in life. And I treat her as if she was my own sister. And she knows somehow that he’s the type that I crave for…
And what do I know? That it was best to hold back before I fall? That I am not his type, so why would I bother? That my best friend deserves someone better than her childhood sweetheart? That I know what’s best for me and for the people I love?
Next week I will get to see them together for a date. Would she consult me about the suitable scent to wear, since she calls me the perfume expert? Would he ask me again about her interests? Would they ever know of the sacrifice I have been and will always be willing to commit to see them happy?
What do they know?

 | perfect timing nito ah.
sakit no? na wala ka namang magagawa kase it would be pointless na ipilit mo sarili mo. sabi nga ng friend ko, "hayaan mo na, at least sila mutual, ikaw, one way lang." talk about ouch.

sadness... by kahani_18
Sunday, November 19, 2006 @ 06:13:27 AM
| ang lungkot naman. but you did a great thing by being not selfish...you were selfless in giving up the guy you're starting to like just so you're best friend could have someone better...parang pang-OFW ang drama =)
nice artik. =)

salamat... by ms_byrne
Monday, November 20, 2006 @ 03:41:35 PM
| Hi sa lahat ng nagbigay ng comments...
Hindi ko sigurado kung na-edit ito, kase alam nyo 2 years ago ko na ito naisubmit dito sa peyups. Sobrang raw ang kopya na to kung ano yung naisip ko sinulat ko lang diretso dito kaya siguro pansin nyong hindi maganda ang flow, even the choice of words.
Anyway, hindi sila nag-click together. Yung guy na sinasabi ko super close na kami ngayon, he never found out na i had feelings for him in the beginning of our friendship. And i suppose he never will... kase baka ibitin nya ako patiwarik!
Yung girl naman close talaga kami, kahit ngayon.
We all went out sa gig namin last night, the three of us. And the guy was with her girlfriend, 1 and a half years na siguro silang mag-on.
Salamat uli!

| great love is really measured in depths of great sacrifices..where there is love there is happiness, but happiness is a constituent of great sacrifice. =)

| Joey, ok lang yan. Pabigyan mo na si Dawson. Kung gusto niya maka date si Jen eh di hayaan mo.
Makakahanap ka rin ng iba. Soon.

Re: may i relate ako... by okaeri

| if i had read this two weeks ago, masasabi ko na we're on the same boat. pero sa ngayon, hindi na. i've taken the chance to let my own feelings out. e mahal ko yung tao. sobra. alam ko nakasakit ako (heck, i saw my friend cry kasi nagselos sya), pero kasi, nagsawa na ko sa pagiging martir.
minsan, kailangan din nating intindihin ang sarili natin. selfish kung selfish, pero masaya ako.
as i've written in my journal, i've done my share of sacrifices (for my friend). i gave them their chance. now it's my turn, and i hope she does the same for me.

nice one. it does hurt but hey, that's life. sometimes people get thing complicated by placing too much hype on their emotions. things could be much simpler if we'd just accept it the way it should be.

| i dont get why you feel obliged to put yourself in the middle of it.
let them like each other by themselves, without your help. if its meant to be, then they're meant to be together.
stop torturing yourself. they don't need your help.
and you dont need to hurt yourself.

the hardest part of loving someone is when your love is not being reciprocated. tapos gagawin ka pang tulay! you'll just end up hurting yourself even more..

| reminds me of when i kept asking my friend to go out with the guy that i have a crush on 'coz i think they look good together. good thing my friend is smart and went with her gut instinct, which is not to date the guy. now she's saying that she thinks the guy likes me 'coz he's been showering me with attention. (i wish! hehehe!) :)
