We started as friends, became lovers, then we ended up as enemies. Do you know how it feels being treated by the one you love as a stranger? Much worst, like an enemy? It is something that I haven’t expected to turn out. We were so inseparable, almost every day we were together, spending the day with each other, doing nothing but still happy. I’m so in love with her, her eyes, the way it sparkles every time that she’s happy. Her lips, so soft and pouty. I’ve been wanting to kiss that every day. Her laugh, it’s like music in my ears, I will never be tired of listening to it.

I don’t know why we end up so wrong. I never thought that one day she would see me as her greatest enemy. The love that we have is so contagious. It’s like a fire, it will light up your world but it will hurt you along the way. I know that I will burn, but I don’t know why I end up playing with it, even loving it at the same time. It hurts every time she sends me her dagger looks, it could kill me. It hurts even more when she thinks that all I want to do is to hurt her. I mean, how could I hurt the love of my life right? Until that day comes, I was so enraged that I forced her to tell me the truth. It turned out that she thought I was cheating on her. Maybe that’s why she’s treating me like this. I was so happy that I hugged her so tightly. I pampered her face with kisses until she told me to stop. I ask her if she still loves me, and she shutters. Telling me that she doesn't love me anymore, and it hurts so much. I feel my heart has been reaped out of my chest. I started my way out, letting the tears I’ve been holding for so long. I thought she still loves me, words that keep on replaying on my mind like a broken recorder.
