A Lie, A Stranger

You were a lie.

At first, I wanted to believe that you still had that goodness inside of you. But, last Saturday, when I just needed someone to listen to me. I was desperate for someone who hasn't heard my drama yet. I took the risk of trying to share with you what was I was going through. Instead of asking me how I felt after sharing a bit with you about it, you told me to stop, "Just stop it, E. Stop."

Do you really think I was that desperate to use someone, who I know would always be there for me, to get you back? On hindsight, at least you're aware how much you've hurt me. But, really you think you're more important than her? Do you really think that the pain you've left me is more significant than the pain of seeing my own Mama's health deteriorating as days go by? That, she might give up anytime soon. No, T. I have loved you, and I still do. But, your reaction made me feel like I didn't know you, like you're a terribly different person.

You're now a stranger.
