The Stalemate

now playing: breathe by anna nalick

There's this person who knows me more than anyone else. I can show my vulnerability without worrying that he's going to exploit it. With him, there are no concealed emotions... The strong independent woman does not exist. There's just me, Chia.

I'm going to name him Aleron.

He is what we call nowadays, "the bestfriend".

I met him through my ex boyfriend, Rush.

I didn't experience any difficulties in relating to Rush's friends, EXCEPT Aleron. He was indifferent, childish, foolish, arrogant and rude. He was a complete ass who thought of himself to be smarter than any one else. I hated him. Loathed him even.

When Rush and I broke up, the last person I least expected (or never expected at all) to ease my pain was Aleron, but surprisingly he did.

He wasn't the typical sympathetic friend.

He revealed to me the ugly truth.. reality.

He showed me life outside my shell.

We've been really good friends ever since. (four years and running)

In a way, we were the same. We both are aghast of our vulnerabilities being exposed.

The exposure of such was strictly confined between me and him.

We've been through a lot together.

What's the catch?

It's not hard to fall in love with someone like him.
