Hoping this will never happen to me. Nisus

How cruel is the world?

A friend of mine relayed a sad love story. Of two best friends that might have been.

They were really good friends. To the point that they fell for each other. But having to take that extra step in your relationship with a friend consists of risks. Going one step further requires no turning back. Somehow it gets complicated like that. And so she tried to let go only finding out he had held on to someone else.

Time past and they remained good friends. Until one day, unexpected news. "She's pregnant." She told us how she froze in her steps, and how her legs weakened at the news. A reality check that she was never getting that extra step she had hoped for.

Out of responsibility, her best friend married the mother of his child. At their wedding day, the bathroom was her only place of solitude. There, she shed her tears of loss. She was made to witness the marriage of the man she loves with a woman she barely even knew and was made to be the godmother of a child that could have been hers.

Now i ask you, how cruel is the world?

On a lighter note, i can never be more proud of my friend Roel.

"For as the black knight left himself open, he had overcome his adversary. The white knight succumed to the darkness with her own sword."

- Live like there's no tomorrow. Love like it's your last.

hay nako. this reminds me of a previous experience - circa 1997-1998. i had a very close female friend. to say that we liked each other is an understatement. it was obvious that we had feelings for each other, but we were just too young to be together back then. we tried to build up our closeness, spending one year just getting to know each other better. yes, i must admit, we did look forward - implicitly, at least - to a future when we would be more than just friends. we thought we had it made, but things just couldn't work out. things got so screwed up between me and her, and we ended up hurting each other in the process. although i feel that i hurt her more, because i was the one who left her for another girl. maybe it was just because i felt that she was not willing to fight for what we had. or maybe it was because i felt she wasn't reciprocating me. well, we're friends now. in fact, we've become better friends after that whole incident. then again, she had to endure seeing for herself my being with another girl - coz i never really told her i was leaving her already.
