You must know

I wonder how confident you are with your knowledge of me. There’s no denying that you already know about the things that make me smile. I mean, you’re in that list. Perhaps you also know what I look like when I wake up in the morning. You’ll enjoy more of that in the future, hopefully.

But there’s one thing about me that you have yet to see but I don’t want you to witness. ‘Cause that would mean we didn’t work. So with the hope of our story not ever coming to that kind of ending, here’s what you must know.

I love deeply. There are so many pet peeves that I can tolerate because of this. There are so many lapses that I’m willing to understand because I love just like that. But this doesn’t mean I’m blind to the right emotions. I get jealous, I get angry, I hesitate, and more. But I know how to control these. I know how to keep them in me. I know how to keep my cool. And so comes what you must know about me.

When people disregard and betray my trust, I don’t make a scene out of it. If I discover any hint of disloyalty from the people I love, I don’t lash out on them. I leave, quietly. You won’t hear a word from me but that’s enough to make you feel what you lost. Don’t worry, I’m generous with forgiveness for it overflows from my God. But I don’t chase. I’ll still talk to you like nothing happened but that’s all you’ll get from that moment on.

Now that you know, let’s hope it doesn’t happen between us. I look forward to not having to leave you quietly. So don’t make me.
