가장 친한 친구, 우리는 이젠 그만하자. 네?

You know what's our problem? You are not the problem. Neither am I. It's our perspectives. What I deem as wrong, you don't actually see what's wrong with it. Notice how seldom I start an argument, if you even call it one. You always start talking about how unhappy you are about me. And you expect a reply. So a reply I gave you. But you needs to know that I'm a person too. There's a limit to what I can tolerate from you. This is the first time I took the initiative to pour everything out alright. All the other while I always went "Ah, it's alright. Forget about it. It ain't much. It won't happen again." But it always happened again in one way or another somehow, in the end. Really, you said you changed so much for me. But have I ever asked you to do so? Not that I don't bother at all that you did so much. But all I wanted from you was to accept me for who I am as your friend. My beliefs and stands. And then now you say oh look what I've done for you, I've never changed so much for a person before. Seriously, you would stop looking at what you've done for others and pause to look what others have done for you? And but trying to understand someone isn't changing yourself. Just because you weren't willing to understand anyone in the past but willing to try understand me doesn't make it a big deal that you actually change although I do appreciate that you tried to understand my stands. Like it or not, but if you don't put yourself in other people's shoes then you'll probably live a proud life. Go ahead if you think it's fine with you. 不是有付出,就一定会有实际的收获。

No, I'm not gonna compare and compete with you in who's more tired in this friendship. It's childish and pointless. But yes, I am tired, in fact very tired. Every time I see you upset and ask you what's wrong and then you give me a letter-long message about how upset you are about what I did and you feel that you're not important to me. I know you know that I get tired of all these nonsense. I get tired because I try find ways and means to explain to you in the least hurting way possible. But somehow it ends up as junk because you think they're all excuses. So means to say I've wasted all my efforts in trying to make you feel that you're still important to me, and that I still care for you as a friend. I get even more tired when this cycle repeats itself like ten over times throughout this short period of ten months. Look here, and let me tell you this. If you weren't important to me at all, would I even spend all that energy to make you feel slightly better, to feel upset at this matter, to even care whether you're alright or not? And I really don't understand why. WHY. Why you always go whose right and whose wrong when if you realized pinpointing whose right and wrong doesn't actually solve the problems that we have with each other cause it really all boils down to our perspective.

Excuses. They are all excuses to you. But if they do justify my stand, they're still excuses to you too? Then what reply do you want from me? An apology? Sure, I'll give it to you. But it'll be meaningless. If you fail to make me realize why I was so wrong. You said before to not care so much anymore. So you'll be more carefree and be happier. I was honestly happy when you started to think that way. Cause I frankly thought that before, you were too uptight. And insecure(..?) But then somehow or rather, you were still affected. No? Everyone could sense it.

Being friends with you make me feel suffocated sometimes. Constantly worry if I do this, will you get affected by it, even in the slightest manner. Yes, yes I am sensitive. But I don't get upset at people about it. Cause I know I am sensitive. So even if I'm upset about something really small, I don't show it because it's really nothing much and it's my own problem/fault that I'm actually upset about something that's almost nothing. And then I'll get over it. And yes, you've mentioned it, you don't have any special feelings for me. But many a times I feel that you're being over-possessive. Call that care for friend or what. But really, somehow, with this care that you give me, I can't... breathe. I feel that I've lost the freedom to be with my other friends who are as important.

All these ten months you've been telling me about how you don't like me to this and that. Well then it's only fair that I have a say too right? To pour out everything. I am not putting a blame on you neither am I saying that you are in the wrong. But rather, since we can't see eye to eye. Maybe let's stop being such good friends. Afterall, maybe because of our perspectives, we can't see eye to eye. Thank you for those sweet memories and let's start from day 1 of 2012; when we were classmates who got along well.

우리 두 피곤 때문에.
