This will be the last time that I will check if you are there. This will be the last time I'll be guessing what you are doing. This will be the last time that I'll try to figure out what happened between us.
Sometimes, there really are things that we cannot comprehend on our own. Sometimes, all it takes is to simply talk and discuss whatever it is that needs to be discussed.
I have been told several times that if our pride stops us from reaching out, we must learn how to be humble as humility really can do wonders. If anger clouds our judgment, we must teach ourselves how to be a bit more understanding and patient so that we can be the ones to ask for forgiveness. I am a slow learner. I know that I really have been doing my best but sometimes, we just hit bumps on the road that makes it really hard for us to do the right things.
We all have been wrong at one time. We all have done things that we've been ashamed of. We know this and we know that we are not always the victim. I myself have been guilty of so many wrongdoings and I have been really sorry for all those.
It's ironic and pretentious that today, I will not be the one doing the right thing. One day you will forgive me for not trying harder and one day we will just laugh at all these. One day I will be stronger - strong enough to overcome any obstacle that may come my way.
Unfortunately, today is not that day. Today, I will remain the selfish victim.
This will be the last time that I will show myself to you, waiting for something that I know will not happen.

Hey, this is serious. Please don't laugh. :)

"There's nothing about you that I would change."
Is this good or bad? Change is inevitable. People change whether we like it or not. It may be in terms of body weight, music preferences or hobbies. It may also be drastic - like changing your religion, your behavior, and even your goals in life. If we love someone just the way they are, would we stop them from changing? If it's the other way around, would you prevent yourself from changing or accepting change knowing that someone loves you "just the way you are"?
I remember a line in a movie that went like: "You've changed. You are no longer the person I fell in love with."
Who do you think went wrong? Is it the person who changed? Or is it the one who didn't cope up with the other person's change?
On a different perspective, I've also heard lines that went like: "Don't try to change me for that is not who I am. If you really want to change me, you are better off with someone else."
In my opinion, regardless of the perspective, change is really inevitable. We will change whether we like it or not. It only boils down to how fast we accept it.
The one thing I've learned is - it is really easy to change or accept change once we know that it is too late.
You will find it easy to change the way you feel about your parents once they are dead. You will find it easy to change for the person you love once they've given up on you. You will find it easy to change the way you feel about your job once you get fired. Trust me, I know.
