The Wounds That Greetings Reopen

I walked past her, trying my very best to avoid having any eye contact her. It was not that I didn't want to, but it was of no use. Greeting her and asking about her well-being is like me triggering the wounds of the past. I am over it but it hurts me every time. God forbid! I do not wish her bad nor do I pray for her downfall.

Let me dive fully into the situation. Back then, I was in college. There was this pretty girl whom I deeply loved. We had things in common. We loved one another dearly, and we wanted the best for one another.

I really thought we were building a real relationship, to the extent that I ignored all the red flags because that was probably my first time being in love with someone of the opposite gender.

I thought life was a Korean movie, not knowing that it was not. Normally, I am the kind of guy who doesn't go to parties. One day, I decided to attend a dinner party anchored by BAMSA association.

As I got to the venue of the party, the hosts welcomed us with the song Orente by Adekunle Gold. It was beautiful. Different people came with their girlfriends, and so as not to feel left out, I called my girl.

My mind wanted her to be there with me; however, I didn't get a reply. I called her again and again—the same thing. So I gave up so as not to disturb her.

All of a sudden, my eyes caught sight of a beautiful pink dress in the crowd. I quite didn't see her well, but the dress looked similar to my girlfriend's own. For a while, I didn't know who it was until I saw her face.

Hmm! I didn't even think much of it. I went to greet her. Favour!!! You are here. I even greeted her friend.

In expectedly, I was hit in the head by her harsh words.

"Get out of here, you loser."

No. It can't be... I said, favour it is me you phamzy!

She affirmed that we were over...

No, it can't be my girl.

No, no, no.

It can't be.

I went home sad afterward. Ha! This girl broke my heart.

I now understood the pain of betrayal after that whole scene.

Hmmm! Ever since then, I have neglected her whenever I see her. Seeing her alone makes my day sad, not to mention talking to her.

Recently, I heard that she has broken up with her boyfriend.

I was tempted to call her but i noticed that she blocked me already. I wanted to even ask about her well-being but every thing always look like a torture.

So, because of my mental health, I rather stay away.

Now, I hardly relate with anyone with so much love and attention, not because I am annoyed or angry, but because I have learnt to always stay calm and understand the motive behind every relationship.

It is better to delve into a relationship only when one is ready for it.

Thanks for reading.

Bye.
