Then there's you

Info

I was broken when you found me. I was devastated and completely shattered. All my life I chose to be bitter, I chose to surround myself with people who see this world negatively because I never experienced this world's positive side.

Then there's you. You picked up my broken pieces and patch it together. I didn't know how you did it but you did. I never felt the thing they called 'Love' for I didn't believe in it. I might see you got tired because of me being hard headed, but I never saw you quit.

You showed me that this world wasn't just as I think it was. I decided to take the path I was so afraid to take, and it lead me to you. I realized how much I loved you when you started chasing hurricane.

I know you loved me, but just when I was about to tell you that I felt the same way, I couldn't find you. I was wondering where you were until an unknown number called me. Oh, it was your mom. She told me the thing that broke my whole being once again. You were in the hospital and I immediately went there.

But I was late. AlI I could hear was your family as they cried and the sound of the line that was flat. No. Not again. But as much as I didn't want to believe what I was seeing, it's pretty clear that you're gone. I lost you, I lost my sunshine.

My feet started to move and walked towards where you were lying as I felt something dripping on the sides of my cheeks down to my neck. I placed my hand in my mouth for I still couldn't believe it. I held your pale face and cried. 

Something inside me told me to say what I wanted to say. I told you I love you and I need you, hoping those words could wake you up. But you didn't as your eyes were tightly shut. Again. Someone broke my heart but knowing you weren't here anymore to comfort me hurts me even more. 

I thought that day would be the happiest but it turned out to be the opposite. I stayed in there for 48 hours thinking you'll open your eyes again and I'll be the first person you would see, but you didn't.

I wanted to hate the world again for what happened. But I promised to you that no matter what happens, I will never put the blame onto this world. And now you're gone, I still want to cherish and reminisce the things you taught me 'cause I realized that before you left me, you left me with a good lesson and very precious memories.

Maybe fate has different plans for us, we may not end the way we wanted it to end, but I am still thankful that someone as beautiful as you passed by in my life. Maybe in after life, we'll be finally be together.
