"Never have I ever loved someone I can't have?"
A wry smile had formed in my lips as I heard that question from you.
"Oy puta! I have! Hahaha pighati," Hanie answered as she puts her right hand on her chest, acting as if it hurts.
"I have," Rhys muttered.
"Never," Finn answered with confidence.
"Hmm, I have hahaha," Nami said while chuckling sadly.
"Never!" Deimos stated, "What? I really never have!" he declared when Persephone looks at him while grinning.
"Deimos is a sus hahaha. Anyway, I have," Persephone uttered before pouting her lips.
"I have," I said while looking straight into your eyes. "I have loved someone I can't have," I continue—keep on staring at the abyss of those circles with a glint of sadness reflected on it.
"Hmm, proceed. It's your turn to ask a question," you said without looking back at me.
Why can't you look at me like you did before?
"Hoy, Kali, your turn!" Persephone said while poking me.
"Ah, yeah, right," I said as soon as I woke my senses up. "So, never have I ever given up the person I love?"
Finally, after hearing that question, you looked back at me.
"I have," you answered as you look away from my gaze. "I have to gave you up because I'm such a coward, I know. I'm sorry, Kali."
I felt a little sting inside my chest as tears start falling from my eyes.
Those words from you break my heart into tiny little pieces as I remember all the good and bad times we had shared with each other.
Kitang-kita ko sa gilid ng aking mga mata na nagpapapalit-palit ng tingin sa ating dalawa ang mga kaibigan nating walang alam sa ating nakaraan.
I can't accept the fact that you had given me up so easily, Devyn.
Hindi pa man nagsisimula ang laban, sumuko ka na.
Hindi pa man nagsisimula ang ating pagmamahalan, tinapos mo na.
We love each other, but sadly, we can't be together.
Ano naman kasi kung pareho tayong babae? Ang mahalaga ay wala tayong tinatapakan na tao. Nagmamahalan lang naman tayo, hindi ba?
Ngunit dahil sa takot mong mahusgahan ng lipunan at sa posibilidad na hindi ka matanggap ng iyong pamilya, isinuko mo ang relasyon na ipinaglalaban ko.
I was willing to take the risk but you can't do the same.
Handa ako sa panghuhusga nila pero kailanman ay hindi ka naging handa.
Why?
Am I not enough for you to be tough and fight for our love?
Or was our love not enough to be fought for?
