Happily Never After
It all started with the thought of a Happy ending…
When I was just a little girl I dreamt of everything a little girl could ever dream. Dwell in a fairy tale land, meet my prince charming, be given 3 wishes by a fairy god mother, and the world’s most famous cliché: have a happy ending.
Unfortunately, when I grew up I realized that life’s not like that, it’s so much more than that. Especially when it comes to love.
And it all started with the thought of a happy ending.
One Saturday morning, while heading home with the sun heating fiercely, I met a guy, a very conventional type of guy, and yes, a stranger. There’s nothing unusual about him aside from the fact that he looks like the prominent boxer Manny Pacquiao, but the handsome version of him. He sat beside me on the jeepney without second thoughts because I’m quite bashful and ungentle if I don’t know the person. He smiled at me without hesitations, the kind of smile that’s so warm and welcoming like he knew me already. And so I smiled back. I barely looked at him in the eye, I don’t know why. But the second time he looked at me, and the first time I rested my eyes on him, I knew that he’s special. He talked to me like I already met him before where in fact I really don’t know him. He talked too much as if I’m his friend, but I’m a good listener and I believe that respect begets respect so I listened, sadly, all I gave him was a nod, affirmation and an “ah”. Time flew so fast I didn’t realize that I already reached my destination and so was he. We bade goodbye and he was so cute when he hesitantly ask for my number. Well I’m a kind and friendly person so I gave him my number. After a few minutes my phone beeped with the text message from him saying he was so pleased to meet me. I texted him back saying that I feel the same way too. And that was it, the beginning of “knowing each other”. He was funny, future oriented, decent, kind, smart, and God fearing. He even introduced me to his mom who’s very clever and kind just like him. We even share the same interest with books because I read a lot and so was his mom. My mom also likes him.
Time ate the days so fast that I hardly realized that I was falling in love. Yes, Cupid has really got me. I didn’t expect that what I felt will be reciprocated. The moment spent with him was the happiest moments of my life. Those moments that’s so hard to forget. The endless food tripping at Hepa Street in Legazpi, eating calamares (squid coated with flour) whicj is our favorite street food, the yummiest French fries there, eating lugaw at Akong’s, the best lugaw ever, singing at the videoke booth in the mall. Those moments were unforgettable.
Unluckily, like what I said lately, life is not always bliss and bliss and bliss. We also have our downs and lows but we were able to handle it and get through with it. I tried my hardest to understand, accept, and appreciate everything in him even sometimes it made me look stupid. But what can I do? I love him.
We always aim for that happy ending and sadly, we ran out of tune in the melody of love. Maybe it’s my fault. I easily get irritated, I’m immature, I always pick fights. And he? He was the most gentle, loving,understanding person in the world. But I let him go. No I didn’t let him go, he dropped me like a hot potato. I’ve just inflicted my own agony. It’s like an open wound that he kept on stabbing. And yes, the pain I’m feeling right now is insane.But no matter what happens, I will stay in love. I’m sorry.

So sad! You can still get him back if you want. If he loves you, he will forget the past and move on. Do whatever you can to get him back. It’s better to be in pain than regret for the rest of your life. take care.
i did.
