For You

Friday, October 28th, 2005

We used to laugh and had so much fun together. Now, you said you were stressful being with
me.

I prayed for you each night before I went to sleep. And now, you said I neglected your needs and
feelings.

I walked under the hot sun to buy things for you. You said I had never appreciated you and I’m
hopeless.

I used to tell everyone how lucky I was to have you and to
share my thought with you. You broke my
trust and told everyone behind my back about my weaknesses.

I tried to understand you, to be with you when you needed me
most. But you pushed me away and later
you said I was a lousy person to be with.

You used to tell me about your loved ones. I listened and remembered. I used to tell you about my loved ones. You rolled your eyes.

You told me your secrets.  I treasured and kept it.  I told you mine and now you are telling
everyone about it.

I was sleeping when you woke me up in the middle of the
afternoon. You used to say, “I’m really
sorry for waking you up.” Now, you said,
“Wake up, lazy! I HATE it when you are
sleeping every time I called you.”

You asked me to do you a favour. I tried but I forgot to do a small part. You got so angry and scolded me in the
public. I said I was sorry. You did not hear or care. Later, I heard you called me ‘a bitch’ behind
my back. And it was just a piece of
paper.

While with you, I am being myself, showing my true self to
you. You kept saying that I should
change this and that and never appreciated my true self. I saw you sometimes casting a shameful look
at me and an admiring look at the popular ones.

I was hurt but I hold on, thinking that maybe it WAS my
fault and I should change to be a better person. And you were still not satisfied.

Years passed by. I
cried for you. I cried because the hurt
caused by you. And I realized that it’s
time for me to let you go. By letting
you go, I am free. In the past, there
were many times when I did not want to allow us to drift apart but now I am
changed. You had changed too. You are no longer the one I knew before. Firmly this time, I am LETTING GO.

And here, my final prayers to you, GOD BLESS YOU. Goodbye.
