Sad story

Let me share this story I read somewhere. This is indeed sad. I agree with the author that each one of us has our own sad story. I had mine too but I don't have the guts to share it, maybe someday I will. For now, just read this:

Everyone has a sad story

    I am a man who currently works in hospital as a laboratory technician. I have a relationship with a beautiful girl who works in a different company. Now since we all know that a hospital operates 24/7, there are times where I work in the graveyard shift. I have a co-worker who I've worked with for more than 5 years already. She is currently engaged to her boyfriend whom she already had a relationship for more than a decade. Now this co-worker of mine has almost if not the same shift with me ever since we started working, so it is safe to say that we pretty much know almost everything about each other. This past few years, we've grown closer than ever before. We've shared secrets and experiences that only both of us know. It has always been her plan that after she gets married she will be devoting her time to become a housewife. Every time we spend with each other the tighter the bond between us gets. One day, she told me that she and her partner has already set a date for their wedding. This caught me by surprise. I've known that this time will come but I guess I just never thought about it since I know that this will be the day that we would part ways. So when she told me about it, I never expected that my reaction will be like this. I really felt sad and down. Only did I realize that what I fell for her is more than just being friends. Don't get me wrong, I love my girlfriend so much. It just that the bond that I share with her (co-worker) has gotten deeper ever since we first met. I am in no position to tell her not to push thru with her plans since I know that she also loves her boyfriend so much. I am left with the struggle to tell or not to tell her what I feel about her. This will be a struggle that I will take with me to the grave. I want her to be happy but I also don't want to lose her. I guess everybody has a sad story. She is mine....
