It is such a sour moment to see you happy with someone else. It has been a year since I last saw you and I felt that I made the biggest mistake in my life. I should’ve told you how I feel for you. I should’ve told you how much I wanted you in my life. You knew that I liked you but you played numb. You know that I cared for you but all you did was ignore me. We became friends, but not as close as the other girls with you. You were a star and everyone liked to be with you. I tried to be close but with those girls following you, I had no chance.

At the last time before you left for good, I had a chance to be with you. It was my only chance to be alone with you so I had to find something to give to you. I pulled my pearl bracelet from my wrist and offered it to you as a remembrance. It was a cheap bracelet and it didn’t bring too much value. But I knew I had to give it to you right away so I took the chance, not knowing if you would like it or not. With a wide smile, you accepted it wholeheartedly. But it wasn’t a romantic gesture; it was more of a friendly gesture. A simple thank you came from your mouth, like a sweet song to my ears.

You have no idea how much trouble I had to go through just to take you to the airport with the others. It was a short goodbye for me and a long goodbye for the rest. At that time, I thought of pulling myself back from you, just to get used to the idea that we will never see each other again. You went inside and the last thing that I saw was the back of your head. I wished you’d turn around for one last time. I wished you’d wave at me goodbye. But you didn’t look back. You didn’t wave goodbye.

It was until today that I saw your profile. We’ve been friends in the web but we’ve never had email conversations or massages. Your pictures were always the same; just yourself, traveling all over the world. But then, the picture you posted today was different. You were not alone this time. Someone was with you. And when I read the caption “I am happy to be with her”, it just hit me. I was happy for you that you finally had someone important in your life. But then again, something inside me seems wrong. Could I still be in love with you after all these years? Bittersweet, eh?
