Revelation

Money is everything.
It's important, I agree.
Without money, we struggle.
We starve, we suffer.

But to place it a priority over me?
Over our Love?
I understand. You're materialistic.
You wanted a comfy life.
A life of Luxurious living you mean.
Why not?

You will jump at the chance of easy money.
Easy money, you said.
Isn't marrying a rich guy,
an easy way to get rich?

You asked me this,
"Would you rather cry in a Mercedes Benz,
or cry on a Bicycle?"
I kept quiet. But I know.
You would rather cry in a Mercedes Benz,
than cry on a Bicycle.

I have the answer to the question.
It's...
"When I cry, it doesn't matter where.
When tears flow, nothing matters."

Perhaps what my boss said was right.
"Money can buy you everything, even Love."
If I am a millionaire,
would you leave me for a poor man?
You might say you will.
But words don't mean a thing.
Moreover,
"Money first, Love second."

I'm devastated.
Because not only am I secondary to your family,
something which I have learnt to accept,
I am secondary to materials.
To Money.

I don't know how long more can I take this.
You already broke all the trust I had for you.
When I just asked...
"Guy or Girl?"
You get angry, rage over the phone,
and said...
"I told you it's a friend."

Maybe he's a rich.
Maybe he's more caring.
Spends more time with you.
Do what you want.
Get what you want.

You said you won't cheat.
I ask for your Facebook password.
"No."
Even when you already had mine.

There are many things.
But it gets clearer and clearer,
day after day.

I now know I'm not for you.
I'm never fond of materialistic girls.
But I tried to make it an exception since it's you,
the girl I love.

But no. I'm naive.
Too naive.
Money is everything after all.
To have placed Love as no.1, 
I'm just being stupid.

But now I know.
Thanks to you.
That girls will always be girls.
Money and Materials are always first.
Love is always second.
Perhaps Love never existed.

I now know.
One day, when you found someone rich,
I'll let go.
Let go of you.
So you can live the happy life you always wanted.
A life where you can cry in a Mercedes Benz.
