Oras.

Oras ang kailangan ko matupad lamang ang aking mga hinahangad.

They say time can wait but for me? nope.

Time is gold, time is precious. Hindi dapat sinasayang ang oras because who know how long we're gonna stay here on earth?

Sa mga oras nakatatak kung kailan dapat bilisan ang gawa o tumigil kahit isang segundo,

It's just a matter of time before I or we leave this world right? hindi natin hawak ang oras at hindi rin natin oras ang ating buhay.

Maraming dapat gawin upang hindi masayang ang oras, kung noon. . . binabalewala ko lang ngayon hindi na.

I've learned my lesson. . . a lesson that he taught me.

Maraming oras ang nasayang ko noon na patuloy kong pinag sisisihan hanggang ngayon.

Pero ang makilala s'ya? it will remain a memory. . . a memory that made me feel home and happy.

A memory I wish to forget but I just couldn't. This is why I hate to stay at the past be because it always remember things that I wish to forget.

Meeting him will always be a good memory but leaving him will remain a painful memory that I've experienced in my life.

He can't blame me for leaving him, I wasn't myself that time. . . a lot of things happened between us and that's when I know that our relationship status isn't healthy.

Palagi ko s'yang napapanaginipan, masakit pa din para sa 'kin ang iwan s'ya dahil minsan na s'yang naging bahagi ng buhay ko. . .

Sinayang ko ang oras para sa taong akala kong magiging akin, sa taong mamahalin ako ng tapat at iingatan pero mali pala. . .

Minsan, mas gusto ko na lang na mali ang akala ko dahil lang sa mga pangyayaring hindi ko gugustuhing mangyari. . . Yes sometimes I'm getting paranoid but I just couldn't help it

Minahal ko s'ya, nag-sisi ako. . . hindi dahil sa hiniwalayan ko s'ya kundi dahil sa mga oras, araw, panahon na inilaan ko para sa kan'ya.

Ngayon ko lang narealize na, is he even worth it? is he even worth my love and effort? dapat ba sa kan'ya na minahal ko ng lubos noon?

The more I think, the more I regret it.

I took a deep breath before entering a new build coffee shop close to our house.

I roam around and smiled small as I walked towards the counter, isang babae ang bumati sa'kin at tinanong ang aking order.

"welcome to The Sunset's Coffee Shop! where endings are sometimes beautiful. What can I get you?"

"I'll take an iced Americano latte and two choco pandesal," I said and she nodded. I gave her my credit and she handed me the receipt.
