It took a long time for me to dial the last number. 0 Beep. The phone rang. No one answered, as expected. I didn’t leave a message.
A minute later, the number calls me back. I pickup in my guarded voice, “Hey.”
“Hello? Did someone call this number?” Not the voice I was expecting.
I reply coldly into the phone, “I guess I called the wrong number.” Of course. Even my own phone number has changed. The past waits for no one.
I didn’t write the poem below, but I’ll exorcise it here:
The greatest irony of love
loving the right person at the wrong time
having the wrong person when the time is right
and finding out you love someone right after
that person walks out of your life
And sometimes, you think you’re already over a person
but when you see them smile at you
you’ll suddenly realize that you’re just pretending
to be over them just to ease the pain of knowing that
they will never be yours again
For some, they think that letting go is one way
of expressing how much they love that person
in my opinion, some are afraid to see the one they love
being held by someone else
Most relationships tend to fail not because
the absence of love. love is always present
it’s just that one was being loved too much and the
other was being loved too little
As we all know that the heart is the center of the body
but it beats on the left. maybe that’s the reason
why the heart is not always right
Most often we fall in love with the person we think we love
but to only discover that for them
we are just for passing time. while the one who truly
loves us remains either a friend or a stranger
So here’s a piece of advice
let go when you’re hurting too much
give up when love isn’t enough
and move on when things are not like before
For sure there is someone out there
who will love you even more
