Dear Jinki,

We broke up today.

I knew this day would come eventually. It was just that I didn’t expect that day to come that quickly. I knew something was wrong when I received your call earlier today. We haven’t been spending time together lately.

My sixth sense told me that today might be the day where it all ends. But foolish me just didn’t want to believe all this. I still want to believe that this relationship could be saved.

I want to believe in the love we shared.

I felt my heart beat rapidly as I got closer to the cafe. My mind whirled with all the things I wanted to say.

The bells clinked as I pushed open the door. It doesn’t take long for me to locate you, for it seems that I always had a built-in radar in me just for you. And there you were, sitting at our usual table, being as perfect as you could be. You looked up, giving me a smile as you waved me over. That same old smile but yet so different from the ones you used to give me. I took my seat across you. You asked me about my day and I did as well in return. After that, we quickly sank into total silence and awkwardness.

What happened to all the usual jokes you would tell me?

What happened to all the interesting stories you would describe to me animatedly, while I would do the same?

What happened to us?

We were fast friends from the very beginning. There was never a shortage of topic to talk about and share about. Never in my life would I ever see myself having such an awkward situation with you.

And now it happened. The impossible happened.

Does it also mean that it is not possible between us anymore?

You have changed. I have changed. Our relationship has changed.

Everything has changed; even perhaps, your love for me has changed as well.

I looked up and saw you glancing at your watch. It was as if you were counting down till the time of our separation. Are you that eager for us to separate, even if it means forever? I remember you used to tell me that 24 hours a day is never enough when the two of us are together. And then, I would always scoff at your comment. But now looking back, that was the sweete
