Admittedly,
My stomach still flutters everytime I see you,
My eyes instantly recognize the sight of you
And my heart still wants you.

But honestly, i think,
This heart will always beat faster when you’re around,
My eyes will always look for you in a crowd,
And the way i’ll think about you would never change.

But now,
My mind does not think so much of you,
My thoughts does not only consist of you anymore,
My heart does not long for you the same way it did before.

We didn’t deserve each other,
We both deserved better people.
No, it’s not your fault,
Neither it is mine.

Wrong timing, that’s it.
Our conditions were already preset,
We met each other in the beginning of your end,
The circumstances were already unchangeable.

Whatever came between us,
It was wonderful and meaningful.
And whatever came between us,
Wouldn’t really change anything now.

There wasn’t a time in our relationship when label existed,
We have always remained labelless.
Like leaving no marks of whatever we’ve had,
As if we’re each others’ secrets.

Admittedly,
It breaks my heart to let you go,
It pains me to see you walk away,
Because i honestly thought,
You were a long term plan.

Despite the short time that we’ve spent together,
You definitely left your mark on me.

I didn’t tell you this but,
You. I prayed for you everyday since i met you.
I prayed for you to be the one;
To be the person that i’d introduce to all.

You were perfect and beautiful.
You didn’t only have the intelligence,
You had the character and personality.
The only thing that downed you was you can’t commit.

You are not capable of committing.
You are not the type that could be tied down by love.
You didn’t want your career to be ruined by whatever will come between you and it.
You were futuristic, not idealistic.

I admire you for that.

Following your dreams require commitment;
You were strong enough to choose to commit to your dreams;
Your determination was beyond my reach.
You were admirable for choosing to let go to whatever was keeping you down.

Farewell to you, my..
What shall i call you?
My dearest stranger.

The reality of us was quite impossible and unachievable,
But i do hope you the brightest of the future.
Your endeavors are already great,
And i hope you will be able to make them your reality.

Farewell.
