2.) I'm Trying

''Im Trying''
By: ChericaezneroL

He left me with just those words. The way he told me how much he wanted me to have a good life made me feel so down and helpless. Why does he need to leave? It doesn't matter how happy or worst the scenario I would have when I'm with him, what matters most is he's still there for me. He's still there because he's the only one I've got.

But now it's all wipen out, the best thing that could still happen is now turned upside down. I know I tried to cope up. I'ts been years now, but his words are still fresh in my memory. Like a flower still blooms in its own flesh. Like the rivers flow purely without any barriers. ''You would be way better if I'll leave, you could find your happiness more than you ever felt when we're together. I know you're strong. Its just that, i'ts not working out. Im sorry,'' he said.

But why is it that it's like he's wrong? That he's wrong that he told me that I can be happier. He's wrong because he left me. Maybe the reality is he really didnt care. Maybe he was just tired of me. Well, maybe he just really gave up on me. Yes, he gave up on me.

And now it's slowly sinking in to my system that he's now gone. I tried to move on. I tried. Well maybe not.. Because I am.. I am trying.
