Just When I Forgot…
She suddenly pops up in my Facebook.
My ex. My first love.
An old friend of ours suggested I add her as a friend.
It’s been 8 years. Bittersweet memories instantly flashes through my mind.
We had a lot of good times together. She was a good friend. She taught me a lot about love and life. The day we broke up, I felt the world had crashed upon me.
But that was the past. I’ve moved on. So did she.
I’ve found a greater love, the love Allah intended me to find. I pray she had found hers too. I’m grateful for everything that she’s done for me, but being friends is no longer an option.
I pointed my mouse to ‘Ignore’.
And clicked.

Unrequited Love
People tend to overcomplicate things when it comes to the person they love or admire.
My friend had been in love with this girl for a couple of years already. But being his friend, I could sense that the feeling wasn’t mutual. The girl kept diverting and giving excuses when my friend professed his love for her. My friend went to the extent of taking out his savings to settle her debts, which accumulated to a few thousand ringgits just to prove he was serious. But she was unfazed.
It’s good having a never-give-up attitude in life. But there comes a time when you have to look at the situation, say enough is enough, and move on. If she doesn’t appreciate you after all this while, what’s the point of staying around? Bunga bukan sekuntum kan?….
This is what I told him and he agreed. He said he’s going to stop contacting her. But I’m not so sure.
Shakespeare once said, “If you love someone, you’ve got to let her go. If she comes back, she’s yours forever. If not, she never was.
The hardest part is to let go.
