Hello love. Remember the first time we were together, I told you that as much as possible, I want pure honesty and sincerity in this commitment? I want you to be honest with me. I know you have been and I am so very much grateful for that. Of course, in return, I too should be honest. I might as well get direct to the point. I have been seeing your best friend, RL. Not your pal or just any other friend… your best friend.

Please let me explain how it all began. Last Christmas, remember when you, RL, and I were walking at the mall? We were supposed to fetch your sister when she didn't show up on time so we went looking for her. You said you thought you heard her voice so you planned to go and find her all by yourself. Even if RL offered to look for her, you left us both instead. We really had a good conversation before you came back.

On Valentine's day, remember how you insisted that we take him along with us since he had no date? That really annoyed me. That day was supposed to be for us both. Only for us. But you took him along. And when you guys stepped out of the car, I eyed him and not you. For the first time, I saw how good he looked on a tux. And I noticed how suave the way he talked that night and how charming the way he acted. I was really impressed and I was really turned on by him that night.

And before summer when you had to leave for Manila to attend your sister's graduation - of all the people around - you had to leave me with him. Didn't you ever realize that I was beginning to fall for your so-called best friend? Let me tell you what we did while you were away. Oh nothing much really. We just watched movies together, ate ice cream on a Sunday afternoon, and walked along the shore. Those were the things we had been doing before but probably had long been forgotten right now. CK, what happened in between? Why couldn't our relationship be as 'good' as it was before? Why did you have to wait before this falling-in-love-with-your-best-friend thing had to happen?

I know that this is all my fault. And apparently RL's too. But you have to understand that part of this is yours. I'm not saying that you have to suffer the consequences. My love, I still love you. And I'll always be your baby. But for now, I'll have to make a choice. And I choose your best friend. I'm happy with him. He's my life now. I'm so sorry. I love you…goodbye.
