Still Missing You...

It has been a month since I last saw you. One month, and yet it feels like it has been a lot longer than that.  Okay lang sana if I'm in PH and you're in UAE,  Kaso mas mahirap pala yung hindi kayo nagkikita kahit magkalapit lang kayo.

You're in the US now. And the last time we talked was Tuesday last week. Nah, today. Kasi for the first time after you said goodbye, ako ang kumausap sayo na una.  Hindi ko na natiis. I need to know how you're doing, though I already know that you are a lot happier now.  You said you've been sick since last week and I got worried. I wanted to fly to you to take care of you. But of course I won't do that...not because I don't want to, but it's because it's not me you want to be there with you. 

Habang lumilipas ang mga araw, lalo ko nararamdaman na lumalayo ka sakin. Each time I would see the photos that you like on FB (stalker mode), I feel bad. Why? Kasi parang ikaw pa ang hurt, parang ikaw pa ang iniwan..parang ikaw pa ang dehado.  Why do you keep doing this to me?  Gusto ko magalit na ng tuluyan sayo, but I can't bring myself to doing it.  Each day, I still choose to understand you and forgive you, even if you are not sorry. I pray for you everyday. that you would find the peace of mind you are looking for.  But I think, you already have it...now that I am no longer in your life.  I'm guessing that perhaps by now, you just think of how you can break up with me totally.  Because you want me out of your life permanently.  I don't know what I will do if one day you'll talk to me and ask for the annulment.  Baka hindi ko kayanin.  But I will try.  Kasi mahal kita. I can't deny that fact. Mahal na mahal kita kaya kakayanin kong mawala ka basta maging masaya ka.  I guess that's the only think I can do for you now.

I won't deny that each night I still pray for you to come back to me.  And when that time comes, we will work hard together to stay together no matter what. Kaso at this point, nakikita ko na wala na pag-asa.  I feel that you just want me to get used to not having you around because you no longer have an intention of coming back.  

I wish this hurting would stop soon.  And I wish I could just let go of you once and for all.

Tsaka Na Lang...


I was reading thru my old blog and came across this post.  This was written last '07.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tsaka na lang…pag may oras ka na para sa akin at para hindi parang pilit ang pagbibigay mo ng oras sa akin.


tsaka na lang…pag alam mo kung ano ang pagkakaiba ko sa mga kaibigan, kabarkada at iba pang bagay na pinagkakaabalahan mo.

tsaka na lang…pag hindi mo na ako kayang saktan.

tsaka na lang…pag kaya mo ng tuparin mga pangako mo sa akin.

tsaka na lang…pag kaya mo na akong hindi ihuli sa iba mo bang pinagkakaabalahan.

tsaka na lang…pag kaya mo na akong gawing parte ng buhay mo.

tsaka na lang…pag alam mo ng hindi mo pala kayang mawala ako sa buhay mo.

tsaka na lang…pag kaya mo ng iparamdam sa akin na naaappreciate mo lahat ng binibigay at ginagawa ko para sa iyo at sa ating dalawa.

tsaka na lang…pag kaya mo ng ipagmalaki sa buong mundo na ako ang mahal mo.

tsaka na lang…pag lahat gagawin mo maging masaya lang ako at maramdaman kong importante ako sa iyo.

tsaka na lang…pag consistent ka na sa mga actions mo sa tuwing sasabihin mo sa aking aayusin natin lahat ito

tsaka na lang…pag talagang decided ka na na ako ang gusto mong makasama buong buhay mo.
kasi ngayon, pagod na ako.

masakit na mata ko kakaiyak.

masakit na din dibdib ko.

masakit na din ulo ko kasi nalilito ako sa pagkakaiba ng mga sinasabi mo at ginagawa mo.

masakit na din umasa, tapos sa bandang huli wala din palang mapapala.

masakit din kasi maniwala sa mga sinasabi mo ngayon, pero bukas iba na pala.

ang sakit-sakit na kasi.

kaya tsaka nalang…pag kaya ko na ding mawala ka para hindi na ganun kasakit.


at tsaka na lang…pag hindi na kita masyadong mahal.

It's only 3:44PM and it already feels like it's a long day. Too much stress here at work.  It's Wednesday today and it's the day when you would usually visit me here in AD. But of course, you won't be coming over anymore.  I wish you would as I need your arms to hold me tight and assure me that everything will be alright.  I miss you so much, Mahal.  I miss you everyday...

I've been talking to some friends and they told me to just move on and forget about you. They said to turn my back on you should you decide to come back.  My mind says "Yes, I won't fall for it again" but my heart says otherwise.  Tanga na kung tanga pero mahal na mahal pa din kita.  I wish I could teach my heart to stop loving you.  Kasi ang sakit-sakit na.  And everyday is a struggle for me to go on without you. I dream about you every night and as soon as I wake up, I think about you.  I still check on my phone to see if you've sent me a good morning message like you used to...pero wala.  Nakalimutan mo na ba ako?  Can you please teach me how you do it? Buti ka pa nagagawa mo.

You were sending me messages last night and the way you messaged me, para mo lang akong kabarkada.  It hurts kasi walang I love you, or yung pagtawag mo sakin ng Mahal pero nakukuntento na ako kasi you still take time to send me a message. Sobrang madalang nga lang. I wonder how often you send her messages or how often you call her. I'm sure it's too often.  I wish you could still do the same for me, kasi ako naman ang asawa mo di ba.  But how come I feel like ako itong nakikiamot at nagmamakaawa sa pagmamahal mo?  Oh, hindi mo na nga pala ako mahal. Sorry, nakalimutan ko.

Sana bukas nakalimutan na din kita. Yung tipong if magmessage ka sakin sasagot ako ng "Who is this, please?" Or tipong kaya ko na dedmahin na lang at wag kang sagutin.  Sana bukas na yun. Sana ngayon na...sana matapos na.

And so I've heard that you're going to US to visit your family. You did tell me before that you want to clear your mind and I suggested that instead of going home to PH, go to US instead.  I even told you I'll pay for your ticket just so your family who misses you will get to spend time with you.  The last time I asked you if your trip is pushing thru, you said you're not sure so I never brought it up again.

Your sister confirmed that you'll be in the US on the 26th of January and that she'll be meeting you in California with her kids.  She asked you about your flight details but you declined to give it.  Why?  I'm pretty sure it's because you'll be taking a flight from that airline where your woman is working.  You told your sister you'd be in the US for 3 weeks, but I got word from your office mate that you filed for a 1-month leave.  Sigh.

I asked you yesterday if your trip is pushing thru and you said yes, but you didn't give me details and in as much as I wanted to ask more questions, I chose not to. Because I'm sure you won't give me any.  I'm sure you remember I'm going on a trip too, pero ni walang "Ingat ka" or "Enjoy ka." Why do I still expect these from you when obviously, you don't care about me anymore.  You dumped me and chose her.  You do know I don't have a family here and that I came here to be with you, but you don't seem to mind that I am alone. Technically we're still husband and wife and I am your responsibility. But no, you just don't care anymore.

I try hard to understand what you're going thru and why you are doing this to me but I'm sorry because I just couldn't.  All I know is that you are in love with someone else and instead of working out our problem, you decided to drop everything that has got to do with me and move on with her. You did say you want to clear your mind and heal yourself but obviously, you just want me out of your way.  

Whenever I would start with my Why's and How's I tell myself that you are happy now, and that is all that matters.  I might have not been able to make you that happy for you to let go of me just like that. Maybe that's why.

Today could've been the day...

 
I got my period yesterday.  And today could've been the start of it...the IVF treatment.
 
 
I've waited for this day. I know it's not a 100% sure thing but I have my hopes up that finally, we'll have a family of our own. I was scared but excited at the same time. But knowing that you'll be with me through this gives me the comfort that everything will be alright. 
 
 
Obviously, it's not gonna happen.  Because as I am typing this, you're probably at work but still thinking about the new love of your life. Or perhaps, you are again calling her after just talking to her like 15-20 minutes ago.  God, when I saw the actual phone call logs, I couldn't believe my eyes. You call her like every freakin' 15 minutes.  I wonder what you talk about. Maybe you've been telling her how much you miss her and how much you want to be with her.  When you should be telling that to me instead.
 
 
I remember you saying that should the treatment fail, it's a sign that it is indeed time for us to move on with our lives separately.  I was surprised to hear that from you. Imagine, should the IVF fail, I'd be devastated. And there you'd be, telling me that we need to part ways.  Seriously? You should've considered killing me instead.

One Month

It's been a month...a month since you told me that you are in love with someone else. And that you love her that much that's why you're considering leaving me.
 
The truth, which I've been trying to get from you for more than a month since I discovered you've been spending time with people without my knowledge, came to me like a bomb. I already had a feeling that you are liking someone else, but to be in love? Damn, you should've stabbed me with a knife right through my heart instead.  Because that's how I felt.  It was all too much.  Too much I was bawling like a mad woman.  Too much I wanted to die right there and then. Good thing we were just talking over the phone because had I seen your eyes telling me that, I could've killed myself. 
 
What hurts the most is that you blame me for what happened. You told me you're still not over what I did 4 years ago.  And that within that 2.5 years of being finally together, you still can't let go of what I did and move on.  You said that had I not done it, you would've not resorted to liking someone else.  With that, I seriously wanted to run to the streets and be ran over by a car. 
 
You said you've been only with her for a few weeks.  So why say you love her more than me?  And how come I didn't feel like you were holding back in that 2.5 years we've been together?  Yes, we have problems. We have a lot, but nothing that can't be fixed if we just take time to talk about it...and I mean really talk. I've always been open about everything since I got here, but you've been always silent, trying to keep things to yourself and not saying anything until we get into an argument.  You'd say you're sorry, but only to shut me up. And so the same issue comes up again and again and again.
 
You said you need to clear your mind and that you asked until the end of the month.  You said you are confused and that you need time to think.  Now, it's been a month after that day and we're nowhere near being okay.
 
Despite it being so unfair because this reaction of yours should've come earlier, I decided to give you what you need: a time to heal and clear your mind. But obviously, you are still with her and it's crystal clear that you just wanted me out of your way.  Why can't you just be honest? Are you scared that you would hurt me? You already did and you are still hurting me, so why hold back with the truth? Your lies hurt me more.  You left me because I cheated on you and so you decided to choose another cheater who's also married with two kids?  Why!?  You are turning to somebody whom you hated.  And you are being worse, destroying two marriages, just because you are still hurt of what I did?
 
I wish I could you hate you so much.  I wish I could forget you and brush you off my life so easily just like what you're doing to me now.  I wish I can stop myself from feeling guilty of what I did in the past.  I wish I can bring back time and not do that mistake.  I wish I can just die right now so this terrible pain would end.  I wish that I would stop hurting.  I wish I could stop loving you.
 
Sobrang sakit, Mahal.  Ang sakit-sakit.  Those words telling me you love her more kept on haunting me.  Para siyang echo sa utak ko na paulit-ulit.  Nakakabaliw. We were together during the holidays pero parang ako pa ang sabit sa relasyon nyo, trying to hold back myself from hugging and kissing you.  You said you don't want to be intimate with me anymore because it's just going to be unfair with me. Unfair with me because you don't love me anymore and that you are in love with someone else.  Pero minsan you would say you are trying to keep distance from me and also from her so you would be able to clear your mind. But then again, kayo pa din until now and that no matter how many times you deny it, yun ang totoo. You just wanted me out, to be with her.
 
Why do you need to give up on us?  We've been thru a lot, and I know we can still go through this.  But you said it's a sign from the Lord that you need to move on.  That there have been a lot of signs from Him that we are better off apart.   But how come He would always bring us back together? 
 
I was going thru your old messages, our photos and some videos together.  I made you smile, made you laugh and surely I made you feel loved (though when I asked you if you feel that I have loved you all these years you just said, "sa akin na lang yon..") so why do this?  I know I made a mistake...and I was and I am still sorry about it but I thought we are moving on together.  I wished you have told me earlier about it, maybe I could've done things differently.  Maybe I could've helped you deal with the fact that you are starting to like someone else. Everything happened so fast.  After I learned about these people you are hanging out with last November, you were so sorry about it. Nilalambing mo pa ako and ramdam kong sorry ka and that you love me.  But 3 weeks after and there you were, saying you are letting go of me. 
 
I told you I would fight for you because I love you. But what you told me after made me wish I died instead... "Wag mo na ako ipaglaban, sha na ang mahal ko. Wala ka ng ipaglalaban, just let me go..." Ganun ka na na kagalit sakin para saktan ako ng saktan ng ganito?  Or you are just telling the truth. Totoo ba yun Mahal? 22 years and you just want to end it like that?  Ganun ba ako kadali itapon?
 
I miss you. I really, really miss you. Every day I try so hard to be okay, to face the world with a straight face but oftentimes, I would fail.  I'll be like in a middle of something and then I get flashes of memories of us and so I'll end up being tulala na lang. Worse, I cry.  I was at the gym doing Zumba the other day and then I remembered you and I just stopped, and started crying.  Ridiculous di ba, pero that's the truth.  I miss you so much I've been wanting to go home to Dubai to see you, hug you so tight and tell you that I will do everything maging maayos lang tayo. Pero takot ako makita siyang kasama mo, dahil alam ko she stays with you most of the time.  Takot ako dahil baka mamatay ako when I confirmed it's true.  And also, I already told you that I will do everything and will try harder just for this to work out even for one last time. I cried, I begged, I got down on my knees...but still, you asked me to let go of you instead.  You told me you had enough, and that you haven't moved on and that you are still hurt.  Tangina, why blame it all on me?  Why can't you just admit that you cheated this time because it was your choice. Why can't you stop saying that it was because I hurt you?  You've hurt me too a lot of times in the past remember? But I moved on.  Kahit nga may remembrance ka pa sa pagkakamali mo.  I accepted it, kasi mahal kita.  I am not saying you forget what I did. But since you told me you love me, why not choose to forgive me everyday?  Why give up now?  Why not earlier?  Why?
 
I wish this hurt would end now.  I'd rather die than feel this pain every single day.
 
There's one thing I've been wanting to ask you: Are you happy now?  But I can't bring myself to doing it, because I might not be able to take it if you say Yes.

My Saddest Christmas...

I thought my saddest Christmas was last 2013 when I celebrated it here in the UAE and away from home, from my family.  Actually, I shouldn't be that all sad because I was with my husband.  And that alone should be enough. Besides, I think it was our first Christmas together after we got married 6 years ago.  

But anyway, that's when I thought my Christmas is the saddest.  But I was wrong.  Christmas this year is the saddest.  

You want to know why? It's because the guy I have loved for more than 22 years and have been married with for more than 6 years decided to let go and take his chance of being happier with someone else. Our relationship is far from being perfect, yes..and I do understand that he's probably tired of everything that has happened in the past. But when he asked me to join him here abroad, I thought we'll be in this together.  I thought he will fight for us, I thought he will be stronger for us. I didn't expect that he'll use the past instead to justify what he's doing right now.  And I didn't expect  that he'll give up on us just like that. 

"I love her more than I love you..." These words keep on echoing in my mind since the day he said it right to my face.  And since then, I've been trying so hard to keep a straight face and pretend that I am okay...but obviously, I am failing big time. I mean it's not everyday that you get to lose someone you've been loving for more than half of your life, right? It's not at all usual that despite everything you've been thru together, and the promises you made for each other, he'll just decide to drop everything that has got to do with you and be with someone else. So please bear with me if I've been falling apart these days.  I don't intend to...but I can't help it.

Last Christmas Eve, we spent it with friends and they themselves got to notice that there is something wrong.  They knew it's not our usual petty fight...they saw right with their own eyes how cold his treatment was with me.  He's always on his phone, probably texting her and reassuring her that she's now the one he wants to be with.  And that he's just finding the right time to let everybody know about it.   

Christmas Day was not any different. We went to hear mass and then he said he needs to go somewhere.  He did ask me to go with him but I just couldn't go as my eyes were all swollen again..and that I was again having a hard time breathing.  We were on our way to mass when I just started crying...asking myself why it has to be that way.  I couldn't stop and he did panic for a bit because I wasn't saying anything...I just kept on crying and sobbing and choking. 

When we arrived home, I heard him talking to his Mom about me ranting on Facebook.  He said I usually end up doing that whenever we have problems and it's not true so I had to butt in.  I told him yeah I ranted on Facebook lately and maybe some people get to notice that there's indeed something wrong but what about him going out with his girl in public?  And how about him bringing his girl to our flat whenever I'm away for work. Those are much worse, right? He sees I am hurt, but he doesn't care.  He keeps on saying it's too late for us.  

It hurts that he admitted he's in love with someone else...but what hurts the most is that I can not do anything about it anymore.  I know as long as you love someone, you must fight for him/her. But what if you're the only one fighting?  I miss him so much.  I've been staying with him for the holidays but despite sleeping on one bed, I can no longer feel his warmth.  He sometimes hug me, maybe because he knows he at least owes me that and just so I would stop from crying but I can no longer feel the love.  I want to kiss him, hug him, make love to him but I know I'll just end up getting hurt more because he will reject me.  I once told him he's being cold to me and to which he just said it's because he's trying to keep his distance from me. And that because it's not gonna be fair with me.  I couldn't understand why...maybe because if he makes love to me, I'd think he still loves me when in fact he's not? Or maybe he promised his new girl that he won't go breaking her heart by sleeping with me.  Me...who technically until now, is his wife. 

A few days to go and we'll be saying goodbye to 2015. I keep on praying that things will change before the new year ends, but as that day approaches, my hope just continue to die down. Nothing's changed...I just feel he's getting more and more distant.  I have a few more days to go and if he won't change his  mind,  then I guess it really is over.  I wish he would...I pray to God that he would.
