To The Man I Loved At The Wrong Time
I guess itâs true, that someone will just come into your life and change it constantly. Years ago, I met you. And I didnât expect things to happen like it did. I didnât expect that youâll be the one whoâs going to change my life, in so many ways. But weâre both at a young age, and I do not know that time if being committed should be a thing. But after sometime, we stopped thinking, we stopped worrying and we let ourselves fall, we let ourselves be too attached with one another. And doubts became less too for we felt nothing but true happiness, there seem to be butterflies all the time. And suddenly we started to become more more intimate and close to each other, we started to crave each oneâs touch and attention, we started kissing, hugging, and even cuddling. Our focus and our world seem to divert and revolve with one another.Â
We started to be very serious on what we have, we started talking about our future like weâre sure of it, like weâre sure of what will happen. You picture your future with me, and I did the same thing. We speak like weâre certain on what will happen on the future and that weâre sure that it will be the two of us, together in the end. But its not the reality of life. We are not certain on what will happen in the future and we cannot control it. For there would be a lot of circumstances that weâll have to face.Â
And it happened to us. After two years of being together, a lot of things happened, and a lot of things had changed in both of us. Suddenly the butterflies seem to flew away, and our fairytale-like story seem to be on the last chapter. We broke up and we went on our separate ways. During that time, I was truly in despair, feeling so empty and so lost. It was really baffling for me, the reason why you have to leave me. It took me months before I was able to accept the reality that we are not as what weâre used to, and that all our future plans are plans that we have to fulfill on our own.Â
Its been more than a year after the break up, and you are in a new relationship now. And I can see how happy or maybe happier you are with her now. While I am on my own too, but not with anyone else. Because if thereâs something I learned, it is to wait for the right time and the right age. Because being mature is truly a key for a relationship to last.
Sometimes, I wish that youâd meet me when Iâm in the right age, when I am in the right age and when I can handle serious problems unlike then. But I guess thatâs just how it goes. You may meet someone who would change your life, but that someone may leave you. Maybe with or without a valid reason.Â
There would be times that I feel like I regret everything. I regret giving my all and giving too much. But then I realized, there is nothing to regret about. What we had was an over view of what can happen in the future. Maybe there will be more heartaches, more crack in love and more mess. I may be a princess on the next fairytale or I may be an emotinal wreck, but I know its all part of the process.Â
Now is the time to let go of all that hatred, torment and distress. You can be better with or even without him. You control your own life and you have your own chapter to fulfill. You shouldnât let anyone be source of your happiness. Because, you yourself is the key to it and you, yourself is enough.Â
