"Friends?" Inilahad niya ang kamay sa lalaking nasa harap niya. She tried to calm & compose herself infront of him even though she's in the verge of breaking down.
Tinignan lang muna iyon ng lakaki at nag dadalawang isip ko tatanggapin ba ang kamay ng babaeng nasa harap niya. Sa huli ay tinanggap niya parin iyon. "Friends."
Halata sakanilang dalawa na labag sa kalooban ang desisyon na kanilang ginawa. Iniisip nila na mas mabuting huwag nang lumagpas sa linya ng kanilang pagiging magkaibigan, they thought it was for the best but they didn't know slowly...it was getting worse.
Bumitaw silang dalawa katulad ng pag bitaw nila sa isa't-isa. They both smiled, pain is evident from their eyes. Walang nag sasalita at tanging katahimikan at kalungkutan lang ang bumabalot sakanila.
Hindi nila alam kung maibabalik pa ba nila ang dati nilang pagsasama, the kind of closeness they got used to. Alam nila na pagka tapos ng oras na 'to, madaming magbabago.
She won't talk to him the way she talked to him before.
He won't go & hang out with her the way he did before.
She can't sing to her favorite song knowing it was also his favorite.
He can't make any songs because all he could produce is her favorite melody.
She can't go to bed without sending him memes & a goodnight message.
He can't go to bed knowing he won't receive her messages anymore.
She loved him.
And he did too.
They looked at each other like they were almost lovers, like they should've kissed and laughed in bed together, but they chose to stay friends instead.
They looked at each other with what ifs & could haves and hearts full of regrets.
