I came across a photo today, taken on a rainy day in July last year captured by a friend.
I remember how happy we looked, so full of life and hope. Our friends laughed and nudged each other, teasing us about how good we looked together. I tried to laugh it off, but inside, I was elated. That day felt like it could stretch on forever, with endless possibilities ahead. We talked about everything and nothing, shared jokes, and stole glances that held more meaning than either of us dared to acknowledge.
But the photo also tells a story that we never got to finish. Life had other plans, pulling us in different directions. It's a reminder of a love that was so close yet never fully realized. It's a reminder of what could have been.
And even though we did not end up together, I hope and pray that you will find what makes you feel alive above this sleeping world. I hope and pray that you will be able to chase the life that you want. I hope and pray that you will find your own solace.
Thank you for staying with me, in the darkness and light. Thank you for staying in times of discomfort and haven. Thank you for bringing me above the city lights and beyond the stars.
I may have faced many defeats, but you, you are my victory. I will always thank the universe every time I think of you.
Ang makilala ka ay ang paborito kong panalo.
