Thank you for killing me.

I didn’t know a time will come where your name won’t remind me of the stars anymore. This is the time where I’d breathe peacefully, not minding the baggage you left. It was heavy, it was hard. But I didn’t know it’s a possibility I can hold someday. A possibility of new chances without my…

Someone who’s never mine,

…someone who can’t be mine – yet darling, someone whom I never stopped loving. Maybe you are just a theory that somehow conspired decades ago, leaving me shattered feelings, still unusual to what I’ve felt.

You’re still my favorite mistake.

I wish I could scrape you out of my soul forever. I’m sure my heart never stopped beating because of it. It felt wrong. It’s toxic that limits my system to fathom love again. You showed me a sin that I’d be willing to forget. I never thought loving you makes me a sinner already….

Para sa aking tala,

Pwede kong isipin na ilang taon mula ngayon, ang ating mga landas ay muling magkakatagpo. Huli kang darating sa pagtitipon at ako’y kunwaring magtatago sa isang sulok. Pwede kong sabihin na muli kong maririnig ang iyong boses sa aking likuran o di kaya’y ang iyong tawa na tila isang musika sa aking tenga. Pwede kong…
