Hindi ko kailanman hiniling na buhatin niya ako. Hindi ko sinabing saluhin niya ang lahat ng bigat ko, ang bawat gabi ng pagod, ang mga luha at takot na ako mismo ay hindi kayang pangalanan, nandoon siya... palagi. Sa tuwing guguho ako, siya ang nananatiling nakatayo, pilit akong hinahawakan na parang takot siyang tuluyang mawala ako kapag binitawan niya. Sa bawat pagkakataong sinasabi niyang ayos lang siya, mas lalo akong umaasa. Mas lalo akong kumakapit. Hindi ko napansin kung paanong sa bawat pagbuo niya sa akin, may mga bahagi ng sarili niyang unti-unting nawawala. Hindi ko alam kung kailan naging kasalanan ang maging mahina. Hindi ko alam kung kailan naging sobra ang paghingi ng pag-unawa. Ang alam ko lang, may mga pagmamahal na tahimik pero mabigat, at may mga taong marunong magmahal sa paraang inuubos na nila ang sarili nila. At kahit ginawa niya ang lahat, kahit pilit niyang binuo ang mga basag kong piraso, kahit nauubos na rin siya, walang nagbago. Hindi ko pa rin kayang manatili sa tabi niya, kahit mahal ko, kahit totoo. Dahil sa huli, ako pa rin ang talo.

✨🥀✨ When innocent and darkness fall in love each other that creates a dangerous and irreplaceable true Love.

Life is beautiful - or so they say. Some days I believe that. Other days, I stand in front of the mirror and question every life choices that led me here. I don't even know how to keep a diary. I don't do feelings. I barely do reflection. And yet here I am, writing again because of the unforgettable stunt I pulled at my sister's wedding. And no, I will not apologize for my black dress. It was elegant. It was slimming. It was emotionally supportive. Also, fair warning: this is my journal. If you're reading this on purpose, please reflect on your life choices. (And if you're reading this by accident... welcome to the chaos.) - ACACIA

Cuevarde Series #1 Slow burn romance. It starts with a spark of curiosity, those stolen glances, a hint of interest that's easy to dismiss but hard to ignore. As time passes, the subtle interactions and quiet moments shared between two people build a quiet tension, a sense of possibility that's both thrilling and unsettling. The feelings are tender and unspoken, like the first whispers of spring after a long winter - almost imperceptible, but unmistakable. As the days turn into weeks, the connection deepens, and what was once a faint hum becomes a gentle throb, a sense of being drawn to someone without quite understanding why. It's only when they finally acknowledge the pull that the slow burn romance becomes a steady flame, warm and undeniable.
