Maine's sister, Coleen, was the one who recommended this song to Maine.

"Uy, Meng! Gusto mong kantahan si Alden?" Coleen asked her younger sister one night in their shared bedroom.

"Bakit ko naman siya kakantahan? Siya yung singer, uuyyyy." Maine jokingly replied.

"Kahit na sobrang bagay na bagay sa inyo itong song na ito?"

"Anong kanta ba yan?"

"The Closer I Get To You" Coleen replied proudly.

Maine, being the song expert, of course knew what song Coleen was talking about.

She loves that song.
But the problem for her is the meaning of the song. It's not like she has felt like that to anyone.

Well, that was before...

Coleen then started to play the song through her phone and sang along with it...

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me

Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew it was real
The way you make me feel

The older sister tried to emphasise each and every word in the song. Parang pinatatamaan ba si Maine.

"OH di ba bagay?" the older sister happily exclaimed.

Lying here next to you
Time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more
Let's give love a try

Ooooh-ooh-ooh, whoa-oooooh
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And Heaven's there for those
Who fooled the tricks of time
With the hearts of love they find
True love in a special way

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me

Maine realised that the song seemed like it was written for their love story.
Each and every word of the song continued to ring in her ears.
Each word meant something now, and memories of them being together started to flash back through her eyes.

Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside I knew it was real
The way you make me feel

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving you all I've got
Your love has captured me

The closer I get to you
The feeling comes over me
Me too
Pulling closer sweet as the gravity

The closer I got to you, Alden...
The more I knew you. The real you...

Maine didn't used to believe in the word "tadhana." What does "destiny" even mean?

But the closer I got to you, Alden...
The more I knew you. The real you..

Your love has captured me...

We are now more than friends....

And now, what I feel for you is so strong.


The closer I got to you, Alden...

Sometimes I ask myself why I started to write this book. It's so damn hard...

Anyways, 3 more days till Valentines, so 3 more songs.
