Lovely Ruins

It was January when I wished to have an adventure Like climbing a mountain; just being one with nature But you seemed disinterested. You didn't make plans with me. You simply said, "Don't worry. Someday. Maybe." On Feb fourteenth, I made some chocolate parfait Hoping we can enjoy the love-is-in-the-air day. But you wrote me, "There are some things you have to let go." And I thought to myself, yes some things, but not you. No. On March, there was a pile of school stuff to work on. Everyone was so busy to even sing me a birthday song. As I entered the room, you just smiled and said "Hi." And that left me thinking you forgot that today is my...sigh End of sem, 'twas posted. Yes, we passed the exam! With tears of joy, I gave thanks for a job well done. I so wanted to celebrate that joyous moment with you. But you weren't there. Worse, there was no one to talk to. It sounds heart-breaking to know how cold you treated me. But wait, there's more- I'm not yet done telling this story. There were things that didn't turn out as I wanted it to be. What happened next sums up how you ruined it perfectly. You didn't plan that trip with me 'cause you wanted a surprise. One day in January, you brought me to nature's paradise. Hours of climbing up the mountains, alas we have arrived. And that 'someday' you told me then, is a dead word given life. I flipped that letter on valentines, and read what's written next. "...except lollipops. Everybody loves it", that's the following text. You said I should let go of the things that made me bitter. And that you'd never leave me, come worse, or even better. On my birthday, I managed to say "Hello" but nothing more. Then I saw your doodle greeting posted on my backdoor. "Happy birthday dear", it says. That made my day brighter. Turns out you've worked overtime on that since two nights prior! You went home that night when the exam results were posted. I wasn't in the mood to talk. I'd rather sleep on my bed. Then you placed on the table, this fruit you brought from the city. So that's why you were missing! You bought a delish gift for me! Looking back, I can't complain on how sad I felt initially 'Cause when I felt so down, you never failed to uplift me. And if being with you means my every plan will not happen, Then I'd bravely take that risk and live along these lovely ruins.

And yes, I'd love to be beautifully ruined by you.
