Yes. I know. Something's wrong with the heading of this entry. Yes I am single. And no I wasn't in a relationship previously with that guy in the picture even though we look intimate in some sense or another.

Yes. I was hurt. Hurt cos' he gave me so much hope into having a new found love cos' for once, I thought I've finally met someone I've been looking for; someone I have so much in common with; someone malay. But it just didn't happen. And what hurt me the most is that I was the first to know. I was the first person he wanted to share his happy news with. I was the one whom he thanked for support and encouragement.

It's like a miracle to find someone so emotional like me who just got their heart broken; again, to be able to act normally around him the very next day. Honestly? I wasn't acting. Being the vulnerable me, I wished him all the best of luck and hope it turns out good.

And right now? I just love the new me.

Now tell me how genuine that smile can be?
