Title: Just
Surprisingly you called me up, late at night when almost everybody was peacefully sleeping, You asked if I was doing anything in particular, not forgetting to ask if I'm doing fine. I enjoyed our talk so far but then again, You just had to ask me about my date for Valentines.
I was irritated at first with such a question. You KNOW how much I hate Valentine's day but no, you just had to ask me about it when you knew perfectly well that I don't have any date or at least a special someone to spend that day with. And I, in turn, grew to hate that day and found it just as boring as any other day in human history.
It's JUST a day when people display their love and affection.
JUST a day when you see a lot of heart shaped designs.
JUST a day where in people spend their time with the people they love the most.
JUST another DAY for moi!
Another day where I spend my time ALONE, doing nothing interesting… nothing new but munch on the chocolates my classmates might hand over to me since I'm dateless and all. Unless, someone whom I love asks me out because he wants to spend his time with me and me alone. That would be great, but nobody's got the courage to.
Suddenly, you asked me, to spend that time with you. My eyes automatically lit up, YOU MY secret crush, someone whom I hold dear to me, just asked me out. I was so happy. I know fairy tales end but then why did mine end so quickly. You told me that since the girl you like turned you down and you don't want to be dateless so you'll just pick me.
hurt…
shattered…
clawed…
squashed…
My heart was deliberately fooled…
I could've dropped the phone but I'm afraid to break it.
I would've slammed it against the receiver but that would be improper.
You of all people, should've known better than mention that I'm…
JUST a second choice…
JUST the "last resort"
JUST picked at the last minute…
Flattered? I should have been. But do you think that being the girl no-one-wants-so-you'll-just-pick-her is flattering? If that's what you call flattery I'd be damned.
And as I put down the invitation and the phone, I laughed with tears in my eyes…
I chose to be alone again… another day of loneliness is waiting for me, just because…
FIN
Choco Drop
The 2nd choice
The lonely
The one flying solo.
