"

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

Reviewing My Relationship with Him

I realize the reason i cried was not because i genuinely love him. 

It’s because i was afraid of losing the guy who admired me that much.

I was afraid i could never find someone better than him.

In fact, i’ve never really cared about his feeling.

I only focused on my own well-being, not him.

So, i think our separation is the best thing that should happen to both of us.

I’m very thankful right now :)

One Word: Incompatibility

“Over time compatibility matters in a relationship. It is possible for some period of weeks or months to paper over poor compatibility. But eventually, life and reality must come calling. The fact that he is a spender and you’re a saver starts to matter. All the significant differences start to present themselves and often one or both partners will just emotionally throw up their hands and say, “I’m not into this relationship anymore.”

"We ran into lots of old friends. Friends from elementary school, junior high school, high school. Everyone had matured in their own way, and even as we stood face to face with them they seemed like people from dreams, sudden glimpses through the fences of our tangled memories. We smiled and waved, exchanged a few words, and then walked on in our separate directions."
