The Romantic Fool

"Don't you know that you're just a toy that I like to play with to amuse me when I'm bored?"


Those words were uttered by me and I know that it's damn bitchy. I do feel sorry now but at that time, I was just a demon on the loose out to play on the field and hit as many as I can.

But he won. This guy, this romantic fool. He made me believe in love again. He taught me that though my heart got trampled by some guy, life is still good, time heals all wounds, and everything will soon be okay.

He was the perfect guy. Not handsome but cute in his own dorky way; he was the type movies were made of. He would bring me flowers almost every week for no reason at all. He would surprise me with things that I mentioned in passing that I was hoping to buy someday. He drove all the way from Antipolo to Binondo just so he could give me a flower to make me smile since I was depressed after getting into a fight with my Mom. He got 2 bags of different stuff in purple simply because I loved purple. He set up romantic dinners in their gazebo and would cook dinner for me and dance with me under the stars. It was straight out of a movie.

And just like the movies, we broke up. Unfortunately for that story, it ended there. But just like every love gone wrong that I had, I learned a lot of things from him. I learned how to love and give it my all without holding anything back. I learned that love and pride can never match and so I chose love.

So to you my romantic fool ... stay that way. And as I have posted in my testimonial for you, I'm sure that one day you will meet someone who will love you the way you deserved to be love and not hurt you the way that I did.
