I am incredibly grateful to the top Ben & Ben YouTube commenter who inspired me to write this story.

For whatever reason, your story brought back the memories of someone from my past.

A repeated scenario in my head that still makes me wonder if it will ever come to pass again.

This story was I wished to express my grief and regrets for the agony I've brought upon to someone.

Every line of this song hits me to my core. I just ended my relationship with someone who used to be my great listener. For the past few weeks of reflecting, I've realized that some love doesn't have to work perfectly, but it has to be honest and kind. Unfortunately, the saddest thing about sharing love with someone for a considerable moment is losing the chance to know and be conscious of how your partner feels in times that you're busy working on your dreams. Being a partner, I realized that I am supposed to understand that it's just how it is, but I am not supposed to be miserable. And so I chose to be honest with my feelings, and I was heard. She was kind enough to hear me out. What hurts the most is she doesn't realize the repeated wrongs until I chose to end it. There can be no word that could compensate for the pain that I'd be leaving her just because I was the one who ended it when she still wanted to love me. It's two pair of hands who possess different intensity of holds. And it's sad to admit that I was the one who let go even after realizing that I still wanted to love the person, badly, yet I can't promise to build everything back when I'm also struggling to pick up the pieces of myself no one noticed falling-silently.

She doesn't deserve to have no one, but I am not the one. Maybe sometimes we are not the ones that should be there for other people. The best thing that you can do to be happy is to get yourself out of something that you know will not work by solely staying, for their sake instead of for the both of you, so I left. Indeed, as the line goes, "I realized that it wasn't anyone's fault at all. It's just that I wasn't built to build you up when you fall..." I badly want to stay, but I knew myself needs me more. Now more than ever.

When the time is right and when the destiny allows it, I hope I could still look back and look at her the same way I fell for her. In different time and in different circumstance of life.

To all those who's going thru hardship right now, if you feel like the pain will never ever go away, remember that you gotta move forward. You may want to forget everything however that will never happen as it is already part of you. But bring the lesson with you and the memories. There will be days you will look back and you will smile, because at one chapter of your life, you were happy with him. It will be a long journey of pain, healing and acceptance. But at the end, it is the pain that makes us stronger. May we find reason to get up again, and keep moving forward.

It is true that nothing hurts more than ending a 'no label' relationship that you wanted to work so bad. This song proves that closure is something hard to achieve but is needed to move forward. Thanks, Ben&Ben!
