Religiously listening to Beyonce's Halo like you told me to.
And now I'm stuck, pretty much at a loss for words, because there is so much on my mind but nothing is coherent. I love you. I am angry. First words that surface. Angry that you could have kept such a grave matter from me for so long. Loving you so much more for trying to protect me from the truth. For having been so incredibly brave and shouldering that painful, painful load on your own. All for what? To make me Happy. To allow me the joy of being carefree on my birthday. Which sucked anyway because you couldn't be there with me. Sucks even more now that I know how much you were suffering then.
I never liked your blog. You always typed with glaring grammatical mistakes/spelling errors and besides, it's just plain wrong for a guy to own a blog. Last night I sat down and read your posts, all the way back to August last year when I first met you. The English was atrocious, but the message was clear. You love me, you want me to be happy, end of story. It was suprisingly foreign, that feeling I had re-reading your entries. Maybe because we exchanged I love yous so often the phrase diluted itself over time. Maybe because you always showed so much concern for me I tend to dismiss that care as incessant. I never appreciated the 'Sorry baby it's my fault', the 'hello baby I love you' or the stern, 'can you please stop watching tv go and study now' texts. Never as much as I do now. You'll never know what you've got till it's gone.
As much as you hate the fact that this affects me so badly that I'm incapable of concentrating on my studies and daily chores without bursting into tears at the gross injustice of it all, I guess this won't end for some time. I'm just hoping that in the mean time of said some time, nothing, absolutely no news comes forth. Because no news is good news, right? Or so I choose to naively believe. I need to stop that train of thought.
Why do terrible things only happen to good people? Loads of monstrous, revolting kinds out there. Rapists, arsonists, human traffickers, family abusers, beasts that bring nothing but misery to people. And nothing happens to them. Plenty of them get off scot-free and continue to live their lives the same way they used to, inflicting pain onto others without being plagued by worldly troubles. Like illnesses. Or the problems of loved ones. They were blissfully granted the ability to be immune to the sufferings of the people around them. But you are unlike them. You, my darling, are an angel. Never unkind, never mean, always selfless, always giving. And yet there is nothing anyone can do about the unfairness you are subjected to.
Today you refused to take my hand. When I tugged on your fingers you balled them up into an even tighter fist. You decided to choose that moment to read the day's papers, setting up that dastardly barrier between us so you wouldn't have to look at me. You ignored me the whole time I was sitting in front of you till I started crying. Then you tossed a napkin at me without so much as a glance. Even in all your pain you still made space for me in your heart. I don't know what warped logic you came up with in that mind of yours, but baby, we're not kids anymore. Treating me like crap isn't going to make me feel any less for you, especially not right now. I just wish you'd stop pushing me away when I show any bit of concern.
I want to be selfish one last time, and ask you to hang on, as agonizing as it is for you. Please don't leave me.
Everywhere I'm looking now I'm surrounded by your embrace Baby I can see your halo You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more It's written all over your face Baby I can feel your halo Pray it won't fade away
I love you, and you'll refuse to say it now but you don't have to. I know you love me too. |
