Unsent letter from Coal – written a few days later

From Coal:

Hi, Yves.

I don't even know why I'm writing this. You won't read it. I won't send it. But maybe this is the only way I can let go.

You looked beautiful that night. You always did. But this time, you looked... lighter. Like you finally left everything that weighed you down. Including me.

I don't blame you.

I was too proud. Too scared. I loved you, but I didn't know how to show it without feeling like I'd fall apart.

And when you left, I told myself you'd come back.

Every night, I swore—babalik ka rin.

But you didn't.

And maybe that's okay.

Maybe not every love story is meant to loop back. Maybe some just teach us how much we can feel... and survive.

I'll still think about you when it rains. Or when your favorite song plays. Or when I pass by that bookstore you used to drag me into.

But I won't wait anymore.

Thank you for loving me when I didn't know how to be loved.

Goodbye, Yves.
