I never grasped anything until you happened. Ang mundo? Maingay at magulo. Ang mga tao? Bulagsak at pabaya. Ikaw? Banayad at marahan. Noon palang, ang tanging hiling ko ay lisanin ang mundo — pero kapag kasama ka, gusto kong tumalikod at manatili.
You're the thought that makes me want to stay. I don't want you to just become a dust of my memory someday. I don't want you to be a missing version of myself that I unknowingly lost for some point. I don't want you to become someone who's buried, but not really forgotten.
I want you to want me to stay.
Even if we're a doorstep away from the world ending, I want to collapse in the warmth of your arms. Even if the world is a tragedy beyond repair, I'd run like hell just to take a last glimpse of heaven, a last glimpse of you.
