My Gift of Goodbye

I USED TO keep on holding on and clinging on to things, thinking they're mine. However, I also knew how to let go... but I rarely use this gift... for I USED TO believe that when I let things and people go out in my life... I can never ever have them back.

Ikaw- unti-unti ka nang lumalabas sa pinto ng buhay ko. Akala mo hindi ko napansin? Nagkakamali ka! I see you in the corner of my eye na patagong umaalis, gusto mo na pala ako iwanan, pero hindi mo magawang magpaalam... kaya ayan ka.... nag-eeskapo--- pero nakikita kita. At masakit makita na, pasimple kang umaalis sa buhay ko. Sana pala hindi nalang kita nilingon habang lihim kang tumatakas. Masakit. Kung alam mo lang. Sana nagpaalam ka nalang ng maayos sa'kin. Sa ganong paraan hindi ako labis na masasaktan. Madali kasi akong kausap... sobrang dali... kung sinabi mo lang sa'kin ng maayos... walang samaan ng loob. At welcome pa kitang palalayain kung pagkakabihag mong maituturing ang pagtigil mo sa buhay ko..... maging masaya ka lang.

Perhaps your part in my story is over... and I really can't make you stay... HOnestly, I wanted to extend our story but there are things in life which are better off when they remain what they ought to be.

Closed curtains na tayo- ika nga. Nakakapanghinayang kasi hindi nagsimula ngunit nagwakas ang pag-ibig na akala ko'y may pag-asa. Nakakatawa isipin, na there was a time, I even begged you to stay... dapat pala hindi ko nalng ginawa yon... and just let things happen.
Sa totoo lang, dinagdagan mo ang trauma ko na pumasok sa relationship... pero ipinapangako ko sa sarili ko na patuloy akong magmamahal.

Our story had a wonderful beginning and a sorrowful ending. Pero salamat dahil at least maaga pa lang... nakilala na kita at nagpakilala ka. You're a lesson for me.
I'm using my gift of goodbye.... I let you go, *******. No strings attached! I know you are not my end.

Just want you to know that I had also an awesome journey with you. Yet, we've reached the point. I'm now taking the other road towards my real destination.
God bless and Goodbye!
