Why do we say the things we say?

I said some really hurtful words that might cause me to lose what I thought was a friendship made in heaven. I meant well, yes. I just said the truth as I saw it but I guess the timing and the circumstances weren't right.

I rescued Aling Rosa from a Fashion Emergency this afternoon. As we were rummaging through the clothes at the mall she said "love mo ko talaga.." Which made me mutter: "Kung alam lang nya kung gano ako kasarap magmahal..."

I lost my chance to prove the quality of my love because of some hurtful words I said. Hurtful words that according to Aling Rosa might have pushed the man I was willing to take the risk to love to the edge at a time when he was not yet ready to jump.

But what can I do now? I've already said the words and eventhough words are cheap I know they can leave marks that are hard to forget. I do not regret saying the things I said. I just wish that, despite everything, my love, our love, will be strong enough to take us beyond this unfortunate situation we are in right now.

If you're reading this I want you to know that I still hope we can be together someday. Maybe our next try will finally make the cut. I hope.

I'm sincerely sorry for hurting you.
