The Love that can Never be Fulfilled

Once I was a simple guy who is content to what I have in my life.

There are times I wish that I can meet the one that can give me happiness.

And then one day while was working, my friend come by and talk with me for a bit. Behind him is a very cute girl.

When I saw her, I was a bit attracted to her. I ask my friend "Who is that girl?"

My friend replied that she is his classmate this year. Oh okay, I said and I continued in my work.

And that day, the beautiful image of that girl is always in my mind. I can't forget her sweet smile and her angelic face.

How I wish I can see her again!

And then one day while roaming around the town, I see her again.

At first, I have doubts if I will approach her or not, but then I decided to approach and talk to her.

How happy I was when she talk with we cheerfully!
And then we talk and talk.

I feel like I was in heaven when I'm with her.

How I wish that time will never end. I want it to last longer and happier. And then one day, I realized I was fallen for her.

I don't know but somehow I feel happy and sad.

There are times that I feel so weak, I can't eat well...I can't sleep well...I can't work well!

There are times I notice I'm smiling at myself. Other people who saw this think I am crazy, but I don't care.

Because all that I'm feeling right now is more different that others.

And then one day I decided to tell her my feelings for her. I gathered all my courage and guts as I approach her.

I approach her and greeted her as usual and talk to her for a bit. And then I came with my point.

I confess my feelings for her and wait for her response. Sweat came out of my face while looking at her.

She was silent for a bit and then told that she was committed to other. Then she left me there bursting in tears.

...My whole world shattered.
