>> [Wednesday] 9/4/2002 :: 8:19 PM -- NEWMSG [Dedicated to everyone I've found in me to love, but who never found it in them to even so much as like me.] I cry for the times you were almost mine. I cry for memories I've left behind. I cry for the pain, the loss, the old and new. I cry for those times I thought I had you. Have you ever loved only to let it go? Have you ever hated someone and yet loved her so? Have you ever missed someone so bad it made you cry? Have you ever been left alone without knowing why? When you're tired and weary running after the one you love, stop for a while, for I, too, am tired and weary running after you... How do I say goodbye to the one I never had? Why do tears fall for someone who was never mine? Why is it that I miss someone I was never with? And I'll ask why do I love someone whose love was never mine? You promised to take care of me, but you hurt me. You promised to bring me joy but you brought me tears. You promised me your love but you gave me pain. Me? I promised you nothing but I gave you my everything. There are over 4 billion people in this planet, so why do I keep on missing you? Maybe because the other 3,999,999 aren't enough to replace a single you. Sometimes I wish I was a kid again... skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts. I really cared for someone more than I ever expected. I even tried to love her despite all the odds. But will I still keep on loving her even as she whispers someone else's name? It's so fucking hard to show everyone that I'm doing just fine without you when deep down inside, I'm not, and that I have to smile when I can barely hold back my tears because as far as I can see, you're pretty damn fine without me... Loving someone means you only want the best for her, even if it means swallowing the sad reality that the best just isn't you... I'm looking for reasons why you had to leave me. I'm finding ways to heal a broken heart. I'm recalling memories when you were still mine, but I can't find any, maybe because you were never really mine... In my dreams you gave me your heart, in my dreams we were never apart. In my dreams you held me close, in my dreams you loved me most. If in my dreams we'd always be together, I might as well be dreaming forever... Love can cause both the greatest joy and the deepest pain. Ironic it may seem... for the only person you want to be with for the rest of your life doesn't even want to spend a single day with you... What do you do when the one you love belongs to someone else? You wait. What do you do if you waited but he still can't love you back? You cry. What if tears run dry and he's still not yours? Accept the truth and say goodbye. When you love someone, you have to fight for it. That is why I was willing to fight for you to make you realize how much I love you. But when I see the look in your eyes when he's around, I know I already lost before the fight began... I was willing to give you everything I had. I was willing to love you completely. I was willing to fight for you. But still, I had to let you go, 'cause even though I was willing to do everything for you... you weren't. I want to say I love you, I want to say I care, I want to hold you in my arms and just you there. I want to make you happy, I want to make you smile, but will he ever lend you to me just for a while? Although the love that I have seeks a pointless end, it is still love nonetheless... ------- ``The game was over. The game had just begun.'' -- To Kill The Potemkin, Mark Joseph ...
