𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞… Because even those who stay the longestcan still make you feel 𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒏. Sometimes, presenceisn’t a proof of love—not when the heart is absent. It’s not about how much timesomeone gives,but how they make you feelwhen they’re not around. Love isn’t measuredby hours or days, months, or even …
As I sit here with a cup of coffee, embracing the little noise around me but recognizing the silence, and for a moment, I get to ask myself: 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕?I know I’ve said the day before that tomorrow is another day to begin again… But what does it mean 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧? How do you …
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐧… It speaks so deeply within that I had to close my eyes and feel the storm; it’s chaos and calm, it’s raging and steady, it crashes and then it lifts. It bore untold stories, hidden signs, and broken promises. But then there’s always that unwavering hope—that small …
I love our lives together, I DO.I love everything about you, even your imperfections. I love your mind, your heart and more so your soul. I love that when I am with you, I get to learn new things, even learn to appreciate and love the not-so-good in life; you just brought me a whole …
I always dream small because I don’t think I am capable of dreaming big. I always shut down myself when I think of all the possibilities because I don’t want to be disappointed. Until—you came. You were able to show me how to dream—big enough for me to be excited about what lies ahead. You …
This is why we can’t be together… I know what I want;while you’re still figuring things out It is not just the meeting of the eyes;but I want a meeting of minds. It’s not just conversationsbut a deeper kind of connection;the one that transcends beyond words and silences. I don’t want to play safe or …
Who’s braver? The one who leaves or the one who stays? Every day, I always ask that myself. Am I brave because I was the one who left? Or I could have been braver if I stayed, instead. But when will you draw the line between wanting to leave or wanting to stay? Am I …
You’ve done more than enough. If you think otherwise, then remember how you work hard, day and night, just to provide what they need. Remember how you’ve bent your rules at times just so you can accommodate their happiness. Remember those sleepless nights, the prayer you’ve silently uttered—pleading heaven to spare them from pain. Remember …
DID WE MAKE IT?I wish I had the affirmative answer to that—but unfortunately, we didn’t. Did I regret meeting you?No. I would never regret an experience that once made me who I am today. I always believe that we meet people at a time when we need them the most. And I guess the universe …
Like how it is in a movie scene, I see every part of you right before me—in slow motion. Your eyes smiling, you laugh heartily, your hands on your left chest—feeling your own heartbeat, almost with abandon—all because you couldn’t contain your happiness. You are a joy to watch.You are a reflection of everything in …
