For months and months, I was in rage about how could he not trust me and assume me for cheating on him. But as they say, time heals everything.
Time healed me too, but the scares doesn't disappear.
My rage was gone and only sadness was present. Thinking that god may have some other plans for me I just kept looking forward. The reason to not come Italy back was that I dint wanted to bring back the memories. I dint wanted to live that memories again which in the end were going to hurt me.
But now that I am here, it is impossible for me to not go there. So, I called a taxi and went off the road. I walked slowly to the cliff mesmerising the site which bought memorise back.
"Wow, its beautiful!" I said as I saw the beautiful scene in front of me from the cliff. Sky full of stars, city glowing in the night. It was perfect.
"You liked it?" Liam asked me making himself comfortable by sitting on the ground. Copying his actions, I replied "I loved it."
"How do you know this place?" I asked
"My father use to bring me here. We use to spent a lot of time together. After my mom left us, he started spending more time with me and vice versa."
The pain was evident in his voice as he talked about him mother. His mom left him and uncle Michael when Liam was 10 years old and never came back.
I took his hand in mine and gave a kiss on his cheek.
"For what?" he asked me with a smile.
"To let you know that I am here with you and I am not going to leave you, ever. I promise." I said and his grin melted my heart.
That was my first promise to him which I broke when I left him four years ago. I sat down where we use to sit as tears started running down my eyes.
When you love someone too much, you get hurt too much. When we fought here for the last time, that was it for me. It was the end for me, but maybe because I dint expected that from him. May be because I was too angry and maybe because I loved him too much.
For months and months, I was battling in my head. One part said 'maybe I over reacted' and another said 'my reaction was right.'
I regret leaving him. I regret breaking my promise. I regret not handling our fight more patiently and calmly. I regret giving up on him. I regret giving up on our love. I regret choosing myself over us.
But
I don't regret standing up for myself. I don't regret slapping him because he accused me for cheating on him. I don't regret choosing my self-respect over our relationship. I don't regret thinking about my future than my relations in past four years.
It's amazing how our mind and heart always want different things. And it's dangerous how we have to always choose between them.
Back then in school I always choose to listen to my heart more than my mind. From past four years I have been choosing my mind over my heart. But from the minute I saw Liam, I started choosing my heart again.
I have to learn the balance between my mind and heart. I don't want any of this to overpower another. Again.
