I have no right to demand anything from you. No
right to get hurt and no right to hope. In the
onset, we have made it clear. Emotions have no
place in this relationship, assuming that it can
even be called as such. Initially, I had no
qualms about that because I bore no illusions for
the future. How could I? When the circumstance
under which we met can never be considered as a
breeding ground for long lasting relationships,
more so, of honest and unconditional love. It was
justifiably a circumstance of two people, players
as society so judgingly call it, conveniently
brought together for reasons definitely other
than love. It is not in my place to complain. I
have brought this upon myself and I will not
succumb to the underlying truth that I may not be
as invulnerable as I like to believe I am. But
karma must be starting to take its toll on me.
What I promised never to feel is now gradually
tearing the life out of me. And I am just
pathetically beginning to realize that I am no
more immune to love than I am to pain.
The first time I felt the waves of reality hit
me, I desperately retreated in the shadows of
denial. I was sure that whatever it was I was
feeling was just a fabrication of my supposedly
non-existent mushy and emotional persona. I
consistently, but unsuccessfully, fought the
initial symptoms of that paradoxical state of
being in love. I refused to capitulate to the one
thing I have long ago ceased to believe in. But
what I shouldn't have forgotten is the fact that
however much determined I will myself to be, my
resolve will forever be puny to that of fate. And
my helplessness is slowly killing me.
I hate the thought of losing this inner battle
with my emotions but denial is now proving to be
a useless refuge for sudden realizations and for
bitter truths. Truths that remind me so of my
weakness and my ineptitude to control my
feelings.
Right now I'm starting to accept the idea that
this pain I am feeling could possibly be more of
my undoing than yours. You didn't ask me to fall
for you. Incidentally, we both agreed on doing
otherwise. Only, my heart decided to betray me
now, and with you, of all people.
I have never asked for love from anyone in my
life. I have never taken any steps for anyone to
love me. It was always given freely and I never
once thought someone would deny me that
privilege, more so, that I would even care if it
were. I guess I will never be able to fathom
completely what you have done to me. I will never
be able to readily understand how one slip of a
man can change what I have chosen NOT to believe
in.
So here I am desperately wanting and yet
determined to somehow fight an obviously losing
battle. I am trying not to take my situation
against you. In the onset, you have made it
clear. Emotions have no place between us.
I have no right to complain. No right to get hurt
and no right to hope. I have no right to ask
anything from you....
And God help me, I won't.
