It hurts so much when someone plays with our feelings. Maybe that wasn’t their intention at first. Maybe they themselves never expected that things would end like that. At first maybe they just want to be friends, talk because they feel comfortable with us. But gradually when they start to pay more attention, without realizing it makes us closer to them and got attach with them.

It gets more difficult when over time we begin to figure out that person’s intentions for us. While we already have deep feelings with them. Everything ends up falling apart as pre-existing relationships are bound to change.

Not to mention if we find out that there’s someone else they like and it’s not us. We already have feelings while we know that they just want to be friends and want everything to be the same as before.

The choice is to walk away or pretend that we don’t have feelings for them, hiding those feelings. Whatever the choice, there will definitely be someone who gets hurt.

Maybe if I were in that position, I would choose to walk away and let go. I don’t want to hurt myself and lie to my feelings. Doing so must have been painful at first and I knew it would be difficult to heal my feelings.

But for me it was much better to end things before things got worse and I ended up hurting myself anyway. We can’t always get everything we want. But for me, knowing that I can have feelings of love and affection for someone, even though in the end we are not matched, is already a blessing for me. That’s a sign I’m still human and still alive.
