We didn't take our relationship to another level. Well, we didn't even have a proper relationship.
Maybe if other people would know about us, they would tease us and say, "Wag niyo nang patagalin, ang relasyon ang pinatatagal, hindi ang panliligaw!"
Eh hindi naman siya nanligaw.
Nagsabi lang naman kami ng nararamdaman namin sa isat-isa, pero wala siyang sinabi na manliligaw siya.
Parang kami na rin naman.
I didn't push it, though. The only thing that I want is assurance.
That he likes me.
That even without label, he was mine, and I was his.
That's the only thing that mattered to me.
Sobrang cliche, 'di ba?
And we didn't care about the opinion of others because we were happy in our own little world.
Our friends, who knew about us, support us too. There may be times that we get teased that we should put a label, but we would just laugh about it and shrug it off.
At the end of the day, what's important it that we were happy and contented.
I thought that he was the one for me.
But he wasn't.
He was for someone else.
