About Us

by David Toh   May 14, 2005


I got together with this very special girl.
Someone who brought joy and happiness, into my world.

We started going out, and at the beginning, everything went fine. But I had a problem, for love I couldn't define.

And after some time, she tried to tell me that she was unhappy. But all I did was argue back, for I was blind, and I couldn't see things clearly.

It happened so often that every time when she would want to tell me about her pain, she would think twice, and later refrain.

I always wanted things to go my way, not listening to what she has to say. And being the sweet girl she is, she would later always obey.

I couldn't see that it had been some time since I took her for granted. I couldn't see, that the simple things like love and care, was all she ever wanted.

I thought that everything was going well,
not knowing that my world, has already fell.

And I thought that we would always be together, forever.

But after 1 and a half years, everything went terribly wrong,
my world got struck, like it got hit by a great big storm.
For the sadness in her heart, she could no longer pretend.
No longer could she hold it inside, it had to come to an end.

At the beginning of the year, she started studying very hard,
as her college exams came near.

I was feeling sad and down, because it's been like a month already, since I've last seen her around.

So I tried to act smart by telling her that we should take a break, not knowing by doing so, I had just put our relationship at stake.

I thought she was going to say "NO!!"
And we would end up spending more time together.
But it backfired on me, and she was like "whatever".

I was really upset at that time and I felt like I was going to cry. Foolishly, I said take care of yourself, and I said goodbye. Being the proud person I am, kept me holding on to these lies.

I thought that she would later regret and call me,
so I kept on waiting for her call.
But after 2 days of waiting,
my phone didn't ring at all.

Worried, I picked up the phone to call her,
and I asked if she could take me back.
But she said "It has all ended."
"You should have appreciated what you had."

I cried on the phone for hours,
explaining that my feelings for her is real.
But no matter how hard I tried, her heart has turned to stone, and towards me, she can no longer feel.

My whole world turned upside down, in an instant second.
How did it happen so fast? I still don't understand.

I tried my best again and again after that,
to try to win her heart.
But somehow I always seem to fail,
to get a chance on a brand new start.

And one day came, when she finally told me off,
"If you really love me, then learn to let me go."
But how? Till now I really don't know.

It's been a long time now,
and I'm still feeling so sad and lonely.
I guess I'll just live a lie,
believing one day she'll come back to hold me.

Don't be late, to give your best to the person you love and care. Because that special person, may not always be there.

    good dude
    thier isnt anything someone can tell someone else about love.
    you can love someone like you're life, and still lose them.
    the only advice is, do is to love the way you know.
    sorry about you're girlfriend, but just know that people in this place are going through the same.
    like me.
    be strong man, and i know how hard that is.
    things will be fine, and im saying that to myself as im saying that to go.
    keep it up
