HURTING

I am hurt.

I am trying to avoid this feeling for some time.

That I am afraid to confront this reality yet, here it is again.

I don't want to entertain the fact that you are hurting me 
and you can cause me pain, so badly.

I am far like you.
I am an emotional person.
And I don't easily forget.

It is precisely the reason why not all are welcome to enter my life.

You have no idea how much heartache you are giving me, yet after the pain has subsided 
I go on loving you.

Like you, many times I have shrugged off an issue in order to avoid a conflict.

In the hope that you will also recognize my sacrifices
rather than complain about my moods and character.

A lot of times, I want to let you go so you might miss me somehow.

That you might see my worth when I am already gone and far from you.

I don't know where life will lead us,
but I wish somehow, someday you will also see me 
and the simple sacrifices I am doing for you, and for us.

And yes, I am still hurting, again.
