I never thought that I would end up being one of the local SG guys getting caught in the Siam Bu trap.
It all started with a chance meeting at a local diu in Golden Mile, I was out with some friends for drinks and there she was, the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen.
I mustered up the courage to go over and introduce myself with my limited knowledge of Thai, and before I knew it we were talking for hours, even though it sounded like a ‘chicken’ and a ‘duck’ communicating.
We exchanged numbers and agreed to go on a date the following week.
That date was the start of a beautiful relationship. We were both so in love or so I thought and couldn’t get enough of each other.
We went on dates, traveled together, shared our hopes and dreams. We had planned a future together and I thought my life was finally complete.
But then it all changed. She started to withdraw and spend less and less time with me. I asked her what was wrong, but she just said she was busy and needed some space. I thought it was strange, but I respected her wishes.
Then one night, she broke the news to me. She had met someone else, someone who could give her the life she wanted. He was rich and successful, and she wanted to be with him. She said she was sorry, but it was over between us.
I was heartbroken. All my hopes and dreams for us had been shattered by this one moment. I tried to talk her out of it, to no avail. In the end, she left me for good.
The days since then have been a blur of pain and sorrow. I just can’t seem to get past it. The pain is still too raw and it haunts me when I least expect it.
I find myself thinking about her constantly, wondering what could have been if she had chosen me instead.
But I know that there’s no point in dwelling on the past. I have to move on and accept that she made her choice. Although it hurts, I have to find a way to heal and get on with my life.
It’s been a long and difficult journey, but I know that I will be okay in the end. I just have to take things one day at a time and find the strength to keep going.
