16th of May 1992. Not really a date that I can so easily forget. I say this because up till today it still means something to me, and though we may not be lovers anymore, it’s still the birthday of an important person and friend.
These days, there is no communication between us. There is no real reason to anyway, as we’re two people moving along their own paths in life at this point. Even then, there’s something I would not like to forget, and that simply is kindness, in particular kindness towards her.
People make mistakes. They do things that they realise on hind sight, may not have been the smartest things to do, or the nicest even. I will easily admit that; I have not been very kind to her ever since things took the turn. I have placed myself and my well being as well as recovery over hers, and while I believe that it’s kind of mandatory, I also believe that it’s not really something that you do while taking a notch at another’s. It’s late at night so forgive me if I lack coherency. What I mean by this is that while it may have been the right move for me to move on from things quickly and pick myself up, I did it at the expense of her feelings, and I believe I have wronged her in that sense.
I have just wished her happy birthday on facebook. I believe that it’s really the least that I can do at this point, as even though we’re not together anymore, I do want her to understand that where I have made my mistakes in the way I have treated her after, I still respect her, and I wish only happiness and kindness for her.
So with that, I think I’ll finally head off to bed. I just had to get it off my chest I guess ahahaha. Oh well. Lastly said, I am sorry for all the pain, anguish and heartbreak that I have caused you. I can’t say that I didn’t mean to do it, because back then, with my heart filled with spite and anger, and plenty of confusion… I thought of many things to say and do. I know that they’re not right, so I make ammends for the things that I’ve done, slowly, bit by bit, part by part. I just hope that I’m forgiven for the foolish acts that I’ve done is all.
Above all else, happy birthday Tze Ni. Have a good one and enjoy your time as a student. I’m sorry that things had to end this way, as back then I really would have loved to see you all the way through to the end, even through your graduation. This is nothing but dreams of the past at this stage, so I do not quell on it.
Even if we do not talk, even if we do not speak, even then, I will still believe in being kind to you.
Happy Birthday. You’re a big girl now, Congrats.
Hamster off and out.
