sooner or later
…everyone leaves.
I was a little sleepy when I checked my mail today. I swore I must’ve been still sleeping when I saw an annulment of sorts in my inbox.
From: Multiply <multiply@multiply.com>
Subject: Please confirm _____’s change to your relationship
_____ is requesting a change in the way your relationship is identified on Multiply - from Life Partner to Friend. Please visit your Home page to either accept or reject _____'s request. If you reject, then we will continue to recognize your relationship with _____ as Life Partner.
With a few mouse clicks, she was finally able to tell me everything she’s been holding back for months. Much as I would like to think that we would be partners for life, she needed to make some changes- note: not want to but had to. I can't blame her. She had every right to do this.
I’ve been moved to the Friends category (which is undoubtedly where I belong).
I guess I got what I deserved. “I’m sorry, I really tried.” I said six months ago*. I was sorry then. I’m still sorry now.
Sorry I wasn’t who you expected. Sorry I wasn't who I expected. Sorry we couldn’t get past certain things. Sorry I couldn’t even tell you to your face. Sorry. Sorry.
My hand slowly crept up the mouse. I closed my eyes, clicked the green button and let her go. Isn't it strange how technology has warped us all?

or maybe you let technology warped you?
ReplyDeleteperhaps.. i dunno. i guess it's just me. i used to think everyone was just as warped as me. hehe
ReplyDeletewoah. You need to make kwento tom. I'm confused.
ReplyDeleteyup, 'everyone leaves'. i'd love to hear more about this...
ReplyDeletewell, i hope you're okay.
btw, i adore 'it ends tonight'. a lot! ;)
@Apol yeah, i think you know about this one pero sige, i'll elaborate later.
ReplyDelete@Flinch well based on experience, (and tell me if i'm being too jaded) no one really stays forever. kahit friends mo, at some point magkakawalaan. i'm okay naman. i guess i was a little sad lang when i posted this. re: it ends tonight it's one of my favorite AAR songs. go AAR!
Hmmm, isa sa mga prinsipyo ko is wag mamilit ng ayaw. Kaya hinahayaan ko sila umalis (mawala) sa buhay ko ang mga ayaw na sa akin.
ReplyDeleteMahirap mamilit eh. =(
how sad. :c understandable but sad nonetheless.
ReplyDeletekung wala rin naman silang mapapala sa akin, why would i stop them, right? :c
sad because it's true.
naging mas madali kaya kung sa ganitong paraan ako binitawan ni NJ?
ReplyDeleteat bakit d natin napagusapan kanina toh?
haha busy tayo kanina eh. ayoko naman magpa-star diba?
ReplyDeletedigital na ngayon ang lahat. kahit pakikipag-break. haha
awwwwww...huhuhu
ReplyDeletei totally have no idea what this all means -- shrouded in multiply.com metaphors!
ReplyDelete@LOF for once, i have you stumped! haha it's nothing. just me being emo.
ReplyDelete@period *there there*
this is a nice post. bakit kasi you let her go? you never should have let her go. :) pero nasa sa'yo naman yan eh..
ReplyDeletewelcome to cb!
ReplyDeletewell, i had to let her go because we wanted different things. i wanted different things and i didn't think it would be fair to her. hehe it's a little complicated
you wanted different things.. why not try to reconcile? hehe..
ReplyDeletegood luck :)
err i think it's a little too late for that. hmm... let's just say we want different things now.
ReplyDeleteerr i want different things now.
ReplyDeleteits so ambiguous: i'm not sure if you're talking about a totally emotionally bankrupt female friend who didn't receive bail out money from you or your trophy girlfriend in a parallel non-gay Chinese universe. *baffled* lol.
ReplyDeletesorry. :c let's just say its remnants from a past life.. if i believed in past lives that is. i'll tell you when i see you. hehe
ReplyDeletewarp us? i thought we shaped the technology to do just that. of course i'm talking about just the Multiply site.
ReplyDeletei dunno.. i kinda felt warped. or maybe that was the creator's intention in the first place. i just miss the days when u could break up without the use of technology.
ReplyDeletegood move. brave nyl.
ReplyDeletethanks jubs! hehe i guess it was. may sense lang of regret.
ReplyDeletebetter to have doubt than to suppress it and become a fanatic
ReplyDeleteuh huh. suppression is bad for the heart. hehe
ReplyDeletehmmm nakakaintriga naman to...
ReplyDeletedi naman masyado. medyo komplikado lang kasi nahihirapan ako i-put to words. :D
ReplyDeletewell technology did change the way people connect or disconnect. anyway nuon wala pang cellphone so no one breaks up over text messages...or PM's.
ReplyDeletewell i think it's good that both of you got to know each other well enough to make a decision. not all has that opportunity, i.e.: ME.
anyway...
yeah. like how one of the jonas brothers broke up with taylor swift through text. haha technology has screwed us all up.
ReplyDeletei don't think we reached a decision. it was more like i decided and then she decided. strange talaga. parang wala ka nang no choice. haha
