Recently, a very good friend of mine sent me a heart whelming letter. It was a total shock because of his revelation! ”I'm not here to reminisce about the past and waste your time, cause as a fact we are all busy living our lives and working for a living.” While I was reading his long letter, it brought me back in time.
It was 11 years ago…
I met him in La Salle through a friend (the first girl friend I had there which sooner on became my best friend.) He was a very good friend of mine, infact I considered him as my bestfriend way back then considering that she is also his bestfriend. We’re both in the same class taking up the same major. He’s sweet, smart and good-looking. Girls were really going on his way because he’s kinda “hunk”. Should I consider myself lucky because out of many, he chose me? Yup, he courted me for so long… It was December of 1999 when he went to my place, he was drunk and totally out of control. He was telling me how much he loves me and all that! But, to cut it short, I dumped him. We never talked since then…
Until he had a girlfriend which happened to be our classmate too and my room mate. I could still remember every time he’s seeing me in our dormitory; she would say “How I wish I’m his girl!” Yeah! Twist of fate, huh?!! I have nothing against this girl because she’s also a good friend of mine. What’s the point of getting mad? I dumped him so he had all the rights in the world to be happy with someone else. What pissed me off was the fact we were friends yet I was the last person to know that she had a new girl. I couldn’t blame him because we really kept our distance apart even after college. Then I heard from my girlfriend, he broke up with the girl. Although, we didn’t have any communication even before he left for New Jersey…
I learned to forget and set aside my confusions and reservations. Our friendship matters to me the most.
Those lines really melted my heart.
After reading his letter, I found myself tapping the keyboard, sharing my thoughts in writing… Finally, I can take off the burden I’ve kept for so many years… He has to know and he has the right to know...
