You said I didn’t know the full story,
That you had a plan, a reason, a path
For why you stayed with someone already taken
While I stood on the side, waiting, breaking.

You blocked me out, piece by piece.
First the calls, then the words,
Then even the chance to simply ask,
“Why him? Why not us?”

And now my things remain with you,
Like fragments of who I used to be
Before silence became your language
And pain became my company.

I won’t beg to understand the plan
You never trusted me to hear.
But I’ll ask simply, quietly
Can I take back what’s mine, when you’re clear?

Not because I want to fight
Or reopen doors you’ve long closed,
But because dignity is packing what’s left
And leaving with eyes that know.

You chose a man who cannot be yours fully,
And in doing so, you let go of someone who was
Someone who never needed a plan,
Only honesty, presence, and trust.

So I won’t wait with expectation.
I won’t knock where I’m unwelcome.
But I’ll return once, to reclaim what’s mine
Then I’ll leave everything else behind.

Then, you taste things.

A bitter heart stayed close.
A sour smile hid in pain.
A sweet moment felt eternal.

Then, you smell things.

A perfume you once bought.
A favorite scent on the wind.
An essence of old memories.

Then, you see things.

A figure you recognize.
A shadow you once knew.
A history with future lost.

And then, you feel things.

The wind's cold touch.
An ache in the chest.
A deep sigh let out.

Lastly, you hear things.

A familiar sound.
A familiar voice.
A familiar laugh.

And in the end, you let go.

Not with anger, but with quiet grace.
Not because you stopped loving,
But because love asked for too much.

Staring at the windshield at 12:34 in the morning
I turn on the radio, our song played and now I'm mourning

I kept reminiscing of what we used to be, what we could've been, what we should've been.

Now rain pours down like there's no tomorrow
Im quite unsure how, but it entered and soaked my face

When will this rain stop, it burns and tires my eyes now

The note that states the future goal, friend of friends is all we know.
Then soon we grouped and understood, at old alabang and mercy's peak
The night of bond we shared ideas, a veil removed to hide the truth.
Feelings planted, watered and cared, questions asked but left unsaid.
A test of strength for knowledge we took, We bathe, rejoiced, and fought at noon. Traveled we did like a one-way-day trip, the plant of feelings evolved once more.
The day has come for us to learn, you passed, i failed, for that we learn.
A test for patience always came, you and i whom they declined.
We stayed, we run, we fought, we hide, side-by-side we really thrive.
Trouble came and made things worst, we tried and still made things work.
The love of ours is so unique, that no shakespears could compete.

A red circle appeared on the screen,
An unknown friend request it seems.
Accepted as an unknown friend,
And checked the timelines end.

A red circle appeared on the screen,
An unread message is received.
Opened, read and seened,
Then later we exchanged greetings.

All night stalking and talking we did,
Until unsure feelings were hid.
To meet and greet, we agreed.
One glance is all we need.

The world soon revolved slowly,
As perfect strangers love grew strongly.
We imagined a life so lively,
A life that is so happy.

Under these wireless connection,
Always a goodnight conversation.
