Not Feeling Good All of a Sudden

March 13, 2005/Monday Boys Do Cry
I
can’t anymore… I’m
tired… So, tired… I can’t do it anymore… no longer… I need to
stop… stop pretending… stop refusing not to feel… I need to admit to
myself that I’m hurt… I need to take a breather and cry… I need to
cry… feel the pain… the hurt… I need to cry… or at least be in
rage… be mad… angry… vent out! I
think I deserve so… Actually,
what hurt me is not being let down… It was not he dumping me… Well, I
was kind of expecting it, so I know… I said goodbye… and my confession
to him wasn’t actually a proposal… It was just letting him know so…
Not that I wouldn’t be fine if he took it as a proposal and accepts
it… But, it wasn’t… at some point I even think I wouldn’t like it
both if he accepts and say he loves me back—what then? What I hated was
he pretending I don’t exist… That’s what hurt me! Friday
before, I wasn’t feeling well… I got a fever for crying out loud! I
was chilling! I told you this stuff… But still, I went because I miss
him… I wanted to see him… I wanted to know how he was doing… And
what do I get? I get a cold shoulder! If I hadn’t said hi and asked him
how was he, he would have not said anything to me! Actually he didn’t
say anything, he just said okay with the use of his hand and assumed I
have HIV! Then
Saturday, at Degree’s Anniversary, he ignored me all together. As if he
doesn’t know me. As if I didn’t exist! What was that all about? He
just walked pass me! Like I have slept with him already and what lousy
shag I was! Damn it! We had not shag nor did I ever make a move on him!
And oh by the way, I am quite confident I’m good in bed! Who
does he think he is!? I
had never met anyone as self-absorbed as he is! Self
absorbed? I was shaking when I told him I was in love with him. He knows
so! He was the one who pointed out to me because I didn’t realize I was
that scared! All I know was I was scared and couldn’t say it… And how
is this for self-absorbed: he guessed that what I wanted to say but
couldn’t say and was making me tremble was I-am-in-love-with-you? And it
doesn’t end there! Yes,
there’s more! While
I was having a melt down, he was anxious to leave. Not because he was
uncomfortable. No, I don’t think that was it. He was anxious to leave,
and he said so, was that because his boy toy was suppose to be waiting for
him upstairs! And capping it all up with, “I love you as a friend”!
I-love-you-as-a-friend? He would have went on pretending I don’t exist
if I hadn’t cornered him! Come on! That
was the biggest insult of the night, he assuming I am that stupid to
believe that! Why would he say so if he had not thought I would fall for
it! God! Then
he was preppy all night… okay, in those two-three times I have seen him
because for some reason, I kept running into him… Even when I went the
entertainment area already, he was there with his boy toy! As if there was
no better spot than where I was that they have to be there! Told you,
life’s a bitch! He
was preppy. I was at the lockers, seated at one of the bench,
contemplating on where to go because I don’t want to go home yet as I
thought that meant alone in my room, which would make it easy for
depression to get a grip of me. So, I was sulking in the lockers when he
came—I guess to get something. Saw me. He was smiling, then happily
asked me, what’s the matter? What’s
the matter!? You just dumped me, you bozo! The
thing is that I was fine. I was okay. I know the rule. I was to abide by
the rule! The rule: one doesn’t go looking for love in Degree. You do
Degree to get laid. One should never do Degree expecting to find something
more! You go to Degree to mingle, shag or whatever but everything stays
there! I abided on that rule. But then he had to smile at me! Talk to me!
And be oh so nice! Damn it! I
didn’t ask for this… I didn’t ask for this… I didn’t ask for
this! I
didn’t ask for this… I didn’t ask for this… I
didn’t ask for this… The
worst part is… despite everything… I’m still hoping… Hoping he’d
change his mind, realize that he loves me back… despite everything… I
still love him… … I
fucked someone that night… It wasn’t out of anger to Nick… I was
down, he was there… he wanted me… got me to a room… I fucked him…
I managed to get it up… but I wasn’t feeling it… I felt nothing… I
didn’t orgasm… I tried… The guy tried to make me… In the end, I
know I couldn’t… That was the first time that shit happened to me…
Funny, isn’t it? I
better go now… I need to get pack already… flights tomorrow morning… |
