why does he have to be so indenial?
why does his pride have to be so hard and thick?

it all started on our graduation day...

we were seated together. not a single word came out from him. i was going to talk to him but i really had nothing to say. i did my intermission number, i went up stage to get my certificates.

i went home earlier than the others. i didn't think of saying goodbye to my friends, it just didn't register in my mind.

anyways, as i got home, i checked my cellphone if i had any messages. i did. i didn't have the energy to look at every message but as i scrolled down, he left one. it was a group message and it said...

"this is the last day and the only time i could see her. why didn't i even give her a hug, or a friendly kiss, or even a hand shake? i'll miss you so much"

i knew it was intended for me. he didn't have the courage to tell it to me directly, or not even at text. it broke my heart cos i knew that we were never gonna see each other again.
