Love starts at the fifth tick of the second hand, notice it after five days, develops in five months and expires in five years. tolerable number of strikes.., five. Tolerable number of mistakes.., five it's THE RULE OF FIFTHS.

CHANCE?... CHASE


She was fooled once.
She fooled herself twice.
She regretted thrice.

She had her gentleman caller but she was taken as an option of his man. She was hurt. That was really tricky. He was believable but he lied. The love offered wasn't promised to last forever but he swore he loved her but it was a lie, a lie that penetrated her weak heart. This caused her to stick in a principle "TRUST NOT BUT YOURSELF"

Half a month later, he came back, back to her arms again, saying he realized that he loved her more than the other girl. He courted her again. By the second time, she gave him a chance, a second chance to show that his love was true. She let herself drown under the spell of sweet words, and the charm of his flowery tongue. She let herself be drifted away from the thing she stood upon. She gave her heart and they already were... considered as Lovers. First days were good. Their tale lasted for only a MONTH. He broke up with her for the reason of 'losing the appetite'She then opened her mind and let him go. She understood that love has FADED. The chance was wasted...


She tried to be strong. She never cried but inside she's drowning in tears. She never cried but deep inside she's bleeding. She never cried but inside her, she was rapidly DYING...She tried to smile and hide the pain that kills her. She tried to to laugh to hide the sorrows in her eyes. She tried to be HAPPY to CONCEAL her grief.


Everything then went ok behind her welcoming FACADE. She exhausted herself in studies. She let herself be submerged in her commitments and responsibilities in school. Everything went fine. A 3-month silent mourning is enough. A 3-month sadness is over.She was ready then to face the world with TRUE SMILE, TRUE LAUGHTER and TRUE HER. But a day of another heartache came...


He AGAIN came back, confessed again that he still loved her. He said he realized that REAL importance of her to him.. His life was empty without her. LOVE has led him back to her. HE tried to hug her.. HUG her TIGHT and asked another CHANCE, Chance to beTHEM BOTH again, chance to show the unexpressed feelings and chance to fulfill whatever needs to be fulfilled.



She LOVED HIM STILL...MORETHAN he ever think she did...


She wanted to give him another Chance, FOR THE LAST TIME. BUT before she could utter her heart, her mind spoke for her.




"I LOVED YOU TOO... BUT I CAN'T TRUST YOU AGAIN... I CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE MYSELF AGAIN..."


After this, I never know what happened to HER..The last thing I heard... She regretted.
