One must never settle for anyone. One must never love half heartedly. One must never force his or herself to forget. And one must never play with his/her and other people’s feelings… Because no one deserves to be at the receiving end…
It hurt. It still does. If it was only about pride, it would have been easy to rationalize. You are one proud person after all. But pride is among the least of the reasons. You cared, you hoped, you thought it was only a matter of time. You thought you had prepared your mitigation strategy, formulated your contigency plan for that big risk. But it still it didn’t spare you from getting hurt.
Good thing you found out early. Good thing there was no denial. Thank God you are friends. It had been easier to accept, to understand. There was no anger, not much bitterness except for the fact that you had hoped that your feelings were considered too, that you had not been considered to fill in while the other had not yet been ready or had not been willing to.
Again, thank God for the friendship for you have the sincere wish that he be happy even if he is not with you.

Sino ba yung panget na yan??? =P
Seriously, couldn’t agree with you more, my friend. We need more individuals who won’t settle for something they don’t fully want, people who believe in stubborn, stupid, silly idealism.
Every dream-catcher starts out as a dreamer.
I’m not a big fan of spoilers, so I’ll just say that even though none of this is your fault, you know that you can learn from this– and leave it at that.
And yes, it hurts. It will continue to hurt. The hurt will get you at the oddest, most inappropriate times. Maybe you’ll see something, or smell something, and boom, there it is again. But you know what? You’ll still be there. The feeling will just fade into memory, and you’ll still be there.
(and hopefully, so will the friendship…)
