Soulless.
Tom: Did you ever do this, you think back on all the times you’ve had with someone and you just replay it in your head over and over again and you look for those first signs of trouble?
- 500 Days of Summer
I shouldn’t be mad. I shouldn’t be sad. I shouldn’t let myself down.
I asked myself countless of times, why did I ever allow myself to be stuck in this position, hopeless. Why is it that in front of everyone else, I make it look effortless, I make it look as though I resented you with all of my heart…but when you really come back, I start to tremble, wondering why the hell would you appear in my life again. I tell myself to not be the slightest bothered with your presence…but I can’t. I must have been a heartless person before in my past life. I must have been going around, making people feel worthless and wished they were never born. Look at where I am right now. Liar, in and out. I told myself that I was not going to think about you, let alone be bothered where you’re dead or alive. I told myself to hate you, for letting me become like this. I’ve got no one, no one. It gets lonelier, day by day. Its as if I could hear the silence within me. No matter how much I try to forget, I must have clumsily allowed a small part of me to not forget you. There’s so many things that I’m sorry about. I’m sorry for not leaving so soon, I’m sorry for making it so complicated, I’m sorry for making myself look vulnerable…I’m sorry, for living this way. This is what I’ve become. I simply won’t allow myself to love. I don’t wanna fall in love with anyone. Love shouldn’t hurt but I don’t know what is the thing that’s hurting me, every single day. If you love someone, you wouldn’t hurt them. You just wouldn’t.
