Loving you was so easy. Never once had I ever thought of you laying your eyes on another woman's

Your heart was pure. Your intentions were good. You were honest.

The love you gave to me was the love I had wanted all along. You showed me how to love someone fully and I couldn't be more thankful enough.

We both are flawed, and so is love. You shine the light onto what's important - falling in love with the present moment, leaving the past behind, and not thinking of what might lie ahead in the future.

Your laugh and smile were like sunshine that brighten the gloomy days. Your bad bad jokes drove me crazy most of the time, but I missed them most. I played with so many what-ifs and should-haves on my mind, but I don't wanna dwell in the past too much cos it hurts.

I am a firm believer that someone was put in your life for a reason. And I'll have this time to heal and find myself back again, but if someone asked me, I'd rather feel this hurt than to never cross your path. I have learned a lot about love and myself throughout this journey.

Tears are proof that the love was real and the pain is the price I have to pay for loving you.

I thank the Universe for letting me cross your orbit, even if it's for a short period.

And one day you will come across someone and they look like love. they are everything you imagine love will be — warm, pure, and raw.

They will walk alongside you and it feels like a warm morning when the sun begins to rise. You feel like exploding from the joy and abundance of love showered to you. At that moment, you feel loved, deeply loved.

But there will come a time at the intersection when both of you have to make a choice. That's when you realize they are not yours to keep. You cannot keep someone from choosing the opposite path from yours. That's when you know love is painful as it is beautiful. And the silence has never been deafening ever since.

You know, love can be a lonely thing, she said to herself.

It hurts. And you may feel like love is just an endless cycle of failure
