When I first heard of you being with her,
I didn't bother myself so much.
I didn't think much about it because
I knew it was never going to be me.
I told myself, "You don't have the right
to get hurt because there was never anything
between you."
Five months after that news, we were both in a party
hosted by a common friend and the universe, with
all its funny jokes, made it happen so that
I was sitting right in front of you,
with her next to you.
Looking at you both, it hurt me so much.
I told myself, "I'm lying to myself because
I knew there was something between us
before there was a him and her."
I couldn't look you in the eyes.
It was the saddest party I ever went to.

if you think of me,
i hope you remember
me as that friend who
was there for you all the time,
without asking anything in return,
partly because i know
you couldn't have given me
anything in return.
i would have to beg.
that's how you are.

if we walk together,
i will leave the hand
closest to you out
of my pocket in case
you want to hold it.
but i remember how you
told me you want to
feel up my thighs.
i will sit next to you instead
and place your hand on my thigh.
you make me tremble.

you never had me,
or rather,
i never had you.
but i was always yours.
since the beginning,
since the day you talked
to me at the seminar room.
i remember how you looked -
your eyes and the way you spoke -
even in that dimly-lit room
i saw you clearly.
i see you clearly.

memorizing the details of
that one afternoon -
cold room
warm hands
heartbeats in chaos -
this will haunt me for lifetimes.

Someday, I'm going to ask you about the truth. Why you drowned me along with you, why you never called me by the nickname you gave me anymore, why you made me believe it is me you will always return to.
Why can't I let you go?

It's you,
who came back for me after that time I got left behind on the subway.
It's you,
and that tiring walk up the snowy hill, and then feeling incredibly relieved when we reached the top.
It's you,
and that time you held my hand because I was scared of the ride.
It's you,
and the many things you told me about the Han river.
It's you,
and your curly hair under that green bonnet you always wore.
It's you,
who always looked out for me, and for everybody as well.
It's you I cannot forget.

I went out with you
alone again and we talked
about lots of things -
things which I hope you
talked about only with me.
I was sipping my green tea
latte and when I looked up
at you, I looked at you
differently.
I never admired
your eyes before, but now
I thought, "Heck, what a shame
if we couldn't be."

The rain,
the wind,
the sun.
You bring
them all
with you.

In a few years more,
I think a part of me
will always be the
17 year old girl whose
heart you broke in
many different ways.
