actually, i don’t know everything (anything at all, really) about what happened... but i’m just trying to be over it and move on. i don’t know if it’ll fester but i don’t want it to linger for far too long. i have wallowed in self pity for a short time, because why not? i have to feel things to get over it. but i wanna just be over it now. i’ll let you know how it works out.
what i do know is i love you. that’s one thing i am sure of at this very moment. nothing else is clearer to me right now. if i didn’t, i wouldn’t still be here. believe me, i thought about it. and i’m not ready to give up.
on that note, i have also realized that it’s time to live my life without counting on what happens to us. maybe it’s not fair, you won’t understand why i say this because you haven’t lived my life. i will live it the way i have to, so that i’ll still have the chance to enjoy more. see, i do want things. and i wanted the things you said we could have. i still want them. but now, i know that i have to stop counting on them and live my life as if it’s never gonna happen. i still hope for it to happen, but i can’t keep pretending that it’ll happen sometime soon.
we both know we’ll get there only if we actually try and do something about it. it’s not gonna change much, but at least we tried. but if we just keep talking about it, but end up actually not doing anything at all, nothing will change. we’ll stay where we are.
and i’ve tried. and really, it’s not even about none of it actually happening. it’s more about how lost i felt after each failure. it’s about how confused i got each time, and felt more alone each time plans did not push through. it’s the not knowing.
so now, i know that i will always give it my all. and that’s my choice. that although shit can happen, if it’s something i want, i will always do my best. but now, i also know that if i know how hard i’ve worked on and for something, and something/someone else causes it to not work out, i’ll be all right with just knowing that i did my best.
but i’m sorry to say i don’t know about you. i can’t keep thinking about how what i say makes you feel, because really, whatever you do because of something i say, that’s on you. if i tell you how i really feel and it makes you less motivated, then maybe you didn’t have the right motivation after all. i know i’m negative, but really, i’m always hopeful. i just always have to make sure i prepare myself for the fall. and if i don’t fall hard, then all the better. it doesn’t make me completely negative. i am always hopeful. i just gotta make sure that if no one else is there to catch me when i fall, i can handle it on my own.
because it has happened so many times before. and now i know i can take much more.
and you are still a positive thing in my life. i still love you. even more, actually, because i’m choosing to keep looking forward to our future together. you make me happy. i smile when i think back to the time we first met. my heart leaps every time i tell you i love you. so, i’ll still be here, babe. i’ll just be living more in my reality, while i await ours.
i hope you don’t take it the wrong way when i act a little less enthusiastic about some things, it’s not that i’m not excited. i am, more than you know. and i hope you really mean the things you say. and i hope this time, you’ll try harder.
