Rejection

how greatly it is to tell someone that you miss them? that you love them? for me, hearing these words from someone would mean so much to me. ang sarap sarap kasing pakinggan. parang nagkakaraon ka ng reason na bumangon araw araw because you know that there is someone who loves you. who looks up to you. who will be there when you need them. who would care when somethings went wrong. who'll stand beside you and who will fight for you, not for any other reason but simply because they love you.

but i came to a realization that saying these words can sometimes be as hard as forcing yourself not to fall asleep when you have been sleepless for 72 hours straight, that no matter what you do, you can't stay awake. you have to give in to what your body demanded you to do. to rest. to fall asleep.

i finally understand why other people can't say these words because I, myself have experienced it. it all summed up to one word. REJECTION.

it is true. saying these words can bring happiness to someone. if and only if, someone has responded positively. and that's the reason why others would choose to stay quiet and say not a thing at all. because somehow they know their love is one sided.

loving doesn't hurt you. rejection does. :(
