To the new girl

Well, not "new". Kasi more than a year na rin naman kayo. Ilang buwan din naman tayong nag-sabay 'di ba?

I want you to know that I do not hate you. Believe it or not, you did me a favor for taking him away from me. I do not hate you because you made me realize that his love wasn't the one that I deserved. I do not hate you because you helped me foresee that my future is ruined if I kept on fighting for him. I am glad that you came into the picture because it made me see how beautiful it is when I paint my own path, a path opposite the one you built for yourselves. I do not hate you because I got to focus on myself better. I do not hate you because as painful as it was to give up on him, I have never felt more free. I do not hate you and I do not wish you ill despite all the pain you two have caused me. I do not hate you because now, I am given the chance to be loved right by the right person.

I do hope that you two are meant for each other. Sayang naman yung isang dekada kung 'di naman kayo magkakatuluyan, 'di ba?

And when you have your precious life all sparkling and happy? I want you to remember me. That it's my pain that caused your happiness.

Lastly, I forgive you even if you never asked for it.
