“You're warming up to me but you don't even know how much I burn for you already.”

John Paul Yang | Maluway by Pradasode

henry james lopez and ada limón's “love is impossible and it goes on despite the impossible. you're the muscle i cut from the bone and still the bone remembers, still it wants.”

“love is impossible” is something hard realists would say. it's the pillar that extremists hold on to, be it that they've never experienced love or that they've known a kind of love that is irreplaceable. “love is impossible and it goes on despite the impossible.”

interesting how, instead of the “but” conjunction, limón uses “and” paired with “despite.” it goes to show that it can be true in both ways; love can be impossible on one hand, and still persist or even morph into something that wrings out the impossible and submerges it into could-bes, would-bes, and must-bes. to love despite all the odds stacked up right in front of you.

“you're the muscle i cut from the bone and still the bone remembers, still it wants.”

thus, despite the impossible, with the knowledge that it still goes on, love yearns. like how the bone has always known the muscle, love has always had the strength to persevere. like how the bone has grown in and is surrounded by the warmth and company of the muscle, love has always seen the light of hope and tasted the sweetness of surrender.

“you're the muscle i cut from the bone and still the bone remembers, still it wants.”

like how the bone still remembers the muscle despite its absence, love still endures the long winter despite the harsh temperature and severe hunger for spring. like how the bone has always existed with the muscle and continues to keep its memory in its marrow, henry james continues to remember and yearn and hold and love — because that's what he has known his whole life.

class president, debate team captain, and the local band's lead guitarist — or a short introduction to Henry James Lopez.

mint choco ice cream and shared laughters in a vacant parking space. driving around the metro, singing along the music played from the stereo, nonstop giggles. impulsive trips to foreign countries and getting zero sleep all because of playing computer games.

different scenarios yet they share one common theme— love.

shion, ethan, jumps, jake, jay, cio, akiri was born to be lover— of many things and people!

I JUST FOUND THE PERFECT JAYKE SONG (jay’s pov) and I thoughttt it would nice to share the angst! cos hindi pwedeng ako lang!!!!!!!! once a year jake is jay’s is something that altered the trajectory of how I view love, just like what jumps said, the love between jake and jay is something we can’t understand but felt,,,

the way you say my name with those lips of yours… how your fingertips run through the strings of the guitar you cherished so much… you’ll always be my head boy. the one that i’ll love for the rest of my life.
