Dear Ate Charo,
Thank you for considering this letter of mine. I'm writing about Ben.
We're in our twenties and both work in Makati. In fact, we used to be
officemates. I've known him for almost two years and all the time, I've
been in-love with him, although we are just friends and he has a
girlfriend he intends to marry.
Ate Charo, I can't help but fall in love with him. He's perfect! He's
responsible, intelligent, resourceful, thoughtful, loving, sweet, caring,
upright, kind, family-oriented, and a God-fearing individual. His good
looks are just an added bonus. I can't believe such a man still exists
today and I will forever be thankful for his friendship.
It is a pain to be so in-love with him because he and his girlfriend are
perfect for each other and are so happy being together. I don't know if
he's aware of my feelings for him, but winning his heart, I think, is out
of the question. His girlfriend is too precious for him. Losing her
would truly hurt him, and I don't want to see him in pain. I know, however,
that a part of me wishes he would reciprocate my love, but he's just too
good for me. He deserves someone better, like the girl he has now.
Knowing he's happy with her is enough consolation for me. I want his
happiness even if it would mean my own despair. God knows how much
I'm suffering. Writing this letter alone is already a torture. I've been
trying very hard to forget him. I've done ways I know to free myself.
Pero ang kulit talaga ng puso ko, ayaw sumunod. Ate Charo, I haven't
seen or talked with him for a long time and I thought his absence would
somehow cool down the feeling, but it hasn't. I don't want to miss him,
but I do miss him terribly. How can I forget him?
Whenever I see a place, a thing, or a situation, my mind automatically
associates it with him. His memories occupy most of my waking and
sleeping hours. His face pops into my mind in the middle of my lunch,
when I'm talking with my friends, cleaning my house, or just doing
something which has nothing to remind me of him. Odd, but true.
I'm not bitter, Ate. I don't blame myself, him, nor God for this situation.
As a matter of fact, I'm thankful. Painfully odd as it is, this situation
has made me the mature person I am now. But I can't help asking
myself why should someone fall for another when they are not meant
for each other? Why Ate Charo? Why...?
You know Ate, whenever I pray, I always ask God to help me let go
of this love. I just want to feel the same way he feels for me... as a
friend and nothing more. I know I can get through this because I believe
that God wouldn't give me something He knows I couldn't handle.
Someday I will be able to smile again without being hurt when I remember
him. God has His reason for all of these and until I know the reasons, I
want to hear words from you. Attached is my picture to show my sincerity
[ spoiler hint: may link na color white kaya di nakikita... ]
and let you decide if I am really not meant for his love.
By the way, my photo is attached. Please Ate Charo, help me.
Sincerely,
Berta
