Love

I'm thankful that she never pressed me for more about my earlier answer. I didn't want to make her uncomfortable by revealing what was really on my mind.

"Since we're in the topic, what do you think about love?" She asked.

Why do I feel like she's the type of person who enjoys probing into someone else's love life?

Kumunot ang noo nya nang bigla akong matawa.

What am I even thinking? All of this is just a product of my imagination. Why am I giving her a personality when she's merely an illusion I created?

I sighed, shaking off the absurdity of my thoughts.

"They say love is beautiful and everyone deserves to experience it," I told her.

I noticed her eyes sparkle with curiosity as she leaned in, clearly eager to hear what I had to say next.

"You see, I'm a reader." I continued, watching her nod in response without interrupting me.

"The descriptions of being in love that I've read in stories-the heart-thumping sensation, the overwhelming desire to be by someone's side-I don't think I've ever experienced that," I confessed.

Even though I once claimed to have liked someone back in high school, I never truly felt that heart-thumping excitement, and I don't think I'll ever experience it.
