Em, God knows how I tried to bring you back. How I looked for you even if you were long gone.
I even thought that it's better to stay in the dream that I have just so I could be with you. I know it myself that killing myself is not enough to pay for everything.

"Hon, in truth, walang nangyari sa amin. I never even kissed that woman.
"But I still feel like I cheated on you. The time that I have that was supposed to be yours was given to her. Nang dahil lang sa galit ko.
"I hurt you. A-And, no matter what, it's still unforgivable.

"You were alone facing your tumor. Hon, sabay sana natin yung hinarap. I-I could've supported you. Alam kong takot na takot ka noon, but I turned a blind eye into it."
Wala paring pinagbago. The guilt is still eating me up.

"Jess."
"Hindi ako galit. Gusto ko mang isisi sa'yo ang lahat, pero hindi ko talaga kaya. Ang hirap naman kasing maging marupok."

I gulped. "Hmm, so...
Bakit hindi ko kaya siya nakikita?
"E-Em, yung anak natin. I-Is she here?" Natatakot kong sambit. Emma, is just the creation of my dream.
Hindi ko talaga alam kung ano ang itsura niya sa paglaki.
"Papa Jessss. I thought that you would forget about
me.
T-That familiar voice. N-No.
And h-her face is what I saw from my dream.

"E-Emma? I-Is that you?" Naluluha kong tanong.
She nodded her head. "Papa, hindi ka naman namin iniwan ni Mama.

"We were with you for three years Daddy." She smiled.
Mabilis ko namang tiningnan si Emily na umiiyak rin.
So....it's not just my dream, but it was their soul.
It's the real them.
"E-Emily, Emma,"
"Thank you." Lumuluha kong sambit.
God. Thank God for letting me be with them. This time, it's not just a glimpse but it would stay until the end of time.
"Paano ba 'yan? Pang habang buhay mo na kaming makakasama Jess."

"Tiyak ka parin ba, hon?" She asked me.
I shooked my head. As if the pain did not happen in the first place,
Every hurtful memories just disappeared. "Hindi na ulit."
"This time, we will live together. Forever. Tayo lang tatlo. Tayo parin."
I iust realized that if you really love someone, even death cannot stop you from loving her.
Just like to what I felt for Emily,
I love her in Earth, in my dreams, and even here.
Kahit sa pang ilang buhay pa namin, mamahalin at mahalin ko ulit siya.
She's the destiny that I would never exchange for anything. She's that precious.

She's the destiny that I would never exchange for anything. She's that precious.
Nag iisa lang at walang kapalit.
