Foul, you fool!

You walked away with another. I walked away alone.

Maybe you were right. You were good at playing, not just basketball but with words too. You have a gifted tongue. You kissed me so well and I drowned. Little did I know I already drowned enough by the words from your tongue and almost killed me.

Like how you handled basket balls, you tossed and turned me. You are a selfish ball-handler. You dominate everyone on the court when you know you can’t do it all without the others. You did not just made fouls, you are the foul, you fool!

At first I thought we were like magnets, governing opposites attract. We have been into some harsh downfalls and challenges but you became weak so quick that we never attract anymore. The universe know we were parallel lines. We were blind to believe that we can change the rules. But the universe was not messing with us.

I never left you. I just left us. But you walked away with another. I just walked away alone.

I never ended our story. I did not say a word. I felt I needed the space to heal the wounds brought by the blindness we had in believing things.

I was just a fire to you after all. You never realized I felt we were a flame. You thought you made me warm but I was burned so deep. You were not even air to me. You were just a breeze.

I guess I saw it before it even happened that’s why God did not let me say those words for you because maybe they were meant for someone else.

I thought if I have talked to you, you would stay long. But I guess I’m not gonna regret it.

My unspoken words became written. And it remained longer than forever.
