All Good Things Come To An End
 I've been in a relationship for a year and ten months now. It's my first relationship and as much as I want it to be perfect, there's a saying that goes like my blog post title and we can't deny the fact that it can be true. Don't get me wrong, I'm breaking up with him not because we cheated or because the absence of love. No. I'm going to break up because I am disappointed of the relationship and him as my boyfriend. The ride was a little rocky lately. We would always quarrel and get into petty fights. And that's because he couldn't understand the word "special". All I wanted was for him to do something that would sweep me off my feet; something nobody has done for me yet; something that even after fifty years, I'd still remember. I was actually waiting. Day by day I keep on telling myself that he'll come to understand the word and run an extra mile for me. Then Valentine's Day. Since he is my first boyfriend, as a girl, there's always something special going on heart's day. No matter how much a girl says it's corny and cheesy, but she still gets all mushy and still thinks it's sweet. That's how I am. I expect something from my boyfriend. My friends keep on telling me that my heart's day is something to look forward to because I have a boyfriend and he's ought to do something special for me. Then I keep quiet. I don't know what my boyfriend has planned. We were together last Sunday and he told me he doesn't have money to splurge on the special day. I said, 'okay, no problem'. I do understand that he's having a hard time trying to save some bucks as he is finished with his college studies and still waiting for his board exam results. But still.. it's Valentine's. You can get something special in a cheap price.. or better, DO SOMETHING WITHOUT SPENDING A LOT OF CASH. He sent me a message as to where I would want to eat in the heart's day eve. I read through my cellphone and my mouth dropped. Why is he asking me this? It's ought to be a surprise. Then he asked me if the restaurant I suggested months ago is expensive or not. My eyes widened. Why is he telling me that he doesn't have enough money for our dinner? You don't ask your date if you can afford the restaurant or not. You don't tell your girlfriend what your plans for tonight because it's supposed to be a surprise - even just for that day. You don't make your girl think like if you're gonna be on a date and if it's higher than your budget, she pays the half. NO! You don't do that. But he did. My boyfriend did. I told him I'm not going on a date in the evening since my class ends at 8:30pm and I can't go home past 10. So we have to reschedule. He told me he'll wait outside school as he has a rose for me. YOU DON'T SAY YOU HAVE A ROSE! My friends were teasing me about him having a surprise. I told them that he's waiting outside and I'm not gonna see him. They insisted that he has a surprise for me. I told them, "No, he has a rose for me." And the guy friend said, "He told you that? It's supposed to be a surprise!". I know right. But then I still went out and saw him. He was holding a rose and he asked, "Do you wanna go out?" YES I WANNA GO OUT YOU IDIOT! "No, I need to go home." And I took off without even bringing the rose with me. It's disappointing to know that I've been receiving roses since high school up to now. With or without a boyfriend, my Valentine's is all but the same. Maybe if he had something different, I would've taken it and got on a date with him. Or maybe if he had given the rose in a different unique and oddly way, I would've taken it and my Valentine's would have been great. But no, he sticked to what he knew best - giving a rose without any twist. And I'm the bad guy for not appreciating it. He never texted me since then. And I sent him a message awhile ago that we need to talk tomorrow. He asked, "Why, what for?" I replied, "Last talk. I'll drop by at 2pm." And he said, "Okay then. Bring my mp3, the charger, battery and usb cord." That's not the only thing I'll bring. I'll bring everything you've given me and I'll give it all back to you. He has the right to get mad because I didn't take the roses he gave me and never appreciated the effort of buying one. I wouldn't! That's his role as a boyfriend. I never asked anything from him. I never asked for his time. I don't even mind him not being with me in school everyday. I don't ask him to bring me to places. I don't even ask him to pay. I just asked him to make that one special day indeed special. Just once. And he gets mad because I didn't thank him for his effort of buying a rose! A rose! Buying a rose! It is a big effort. He exerted a lot of effort in buying a rose! I thought it's the role of a boyfriend. But he thinks he ran an extra mile for buying a rose. How disappointing. As much as I want this relationship to work out, I'm actually tired. Well, |
