"Love, will you still love even if I change?" tumingin ako sa katabi ko nang mag tanong siya sa akin.

I look deeply in her eyes. I can see sadness, pain and worry in it.

I smiled at her and caress her cheeks.

"Yes, I will still love you. My love for you will never change no matter what happen. I would take a bullet for you just to prove my love." she looked away and sigh.

These past few weeks I noticed that she became distant from me. Mahirap na siyang hanapin, I am having a hard time to reach out for her.

Hindi ko alam kung may nagawa ba akong hindi niya nagustuhan.

"Matt, what if, I'm tired of this relationship?" biglang nawala ang ngiti ko sa tanong niya.

"Ella, na pag-usapan na natin to diba?" she looked at me with watery eyes.

"Pagod na ako Matt, itigil na natin to. Ayoko na" I shake my head and hold her hands.

"Love, we already talked about this. Mapapagod lang tayo pero di natin iiwan ang isa't isa, diba?" my voice broke.

She looked at me and shake her head. My tears started to fall. I held her hands tighter and look at her with begging eyes.

"Don't do this to me Ella. We can still work this out, let's just take a break okay? Take a rest muna." she wiped her tears.

"Matt, this isn't gonna work out. This relationship is tiring" that broke my heart, I don't know bakit siya napagod, binigay ko naman lahat.

"Iiwan mo rin ako gaya ng mga magulang ko Matt, you will leave me too. Ayaw kong masaktan kapag iiwan mo ako kaya ako na ang mang iiwan sayo, Matt parang awa mo na" biglang bumigat ang pakiramdam ko at nanlamig ang mga kamay ko. Paulit ulit nalang akong napailing. Her parents died two years ago.

"No, that's not true. Hindi kita iiwan Ella. Remember when I gave you that promise ring, that day I promised to you that I will stay no matter what and I will love you forever, kaya please, wag naman ganto oh, masakit kasi Ella. Six years na tayong mag kasama sasayangin pa ba natin yun?" I said with broken voice and broken heart. She look at the ring I gave her for our first Anniversary.

"People come and people go Ella. You're parents never wanted to leave you love, it's just that p-people are c-cruel, t-they k-killed your parents." I look at her and I can see anger in her eyes.

I was staring at her until I realized the mood changed. She looked at me with her emotionless face.

Minutes passed and she smiled at me. She hug me tightly but I don't feel comfort on it, I find it weird.

"I'm sorry love. You're right, I'm sorry I shouldn't have said those words." she said with a broken voice.

Even though it felt a little weird, I hug her back and caress her hair. I kissed her forehead and smiled at her.

"You don't know how happy I am right now that you changed your mind. I love you love and I will love you forever." I kiss her.

She respond to my kisses. I look deeply in her eyes and hug her again. I want her to know that I will always stay with her through ups and downs. I want her to feel that she's not alone fighting the struggle she's dealing right now.
