Minsan, kahit gaano mo kamahal ang isang tao, darating ka sa point na kailangan mo siyang pakawalan. Hindi dahil sa wala ka nang nararamdaman, kundi dahil alam mong hindi ka nababagay sa mundo niya, a world that feels too far, too high, and too hard to reach. Pinili ni Elyndra ang lumayo. Pinili niyang talikuran ang pag-ibig na minsan niyang pinanghawakan kahit durog na durog ang puso niya. Pero paano kung, after so many years, pinagtagpo ulit kayo ng tadhana? Sa bawat titig, sa bawat alaala, bigla ka na lang mapapaisip.... Tama ba ang naging desisyon ko? Tama ba na iniwan ko siya kahit mahal na mahal ko siya? Babalikan pa kaya niya ang pag-ibig na minsan niyang tinalikuran? O tuluyan na niyang hahayaang manatili iyon sa nakaraan? A love once lost. A heart still unsure. When fate brings them back together, will Elyndra fight for the love she once gave up or will she choose to walk away..... again?

Elevators. Airplanes. Palaman ng Sandwich. Yung feeling na papunta ka pa lang at excited ka pa lang sa pupuntahan mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa lang yung birthday mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa ang isa pang espesyal na araw. Yung feeling na ilang oras na lang ay pasko na. Yung feeling na tatlong araw na lang simula na ulit ng pasukan. Yung feeling na nasa gitna ka pa lang at di ka pa nakakarating. Yung feeling na malapit na pero hindi pa. Yun ang laging gusto ko. Yung nasa gitna pa lang. Yung nasa gitna ka ng dalawang bagay. Gitna ng isang building. Gitna ng langit at lupa. Gitna ng dalawang matatabang tinapay. Gitna ng byahe papuntang disneyland. Mas gusto ko yung feeling tuwing nagbabyahe kesa doon sa nakarating ka na. Mas gusto ko yung feeling na may inaantay ka kesa doon sa nandyan na. I always like the things in between. "You only like things in between, Coreen. You only like the chase... You only want me chasing after you. You don't want to decide... Pero pakiusap naman, magdesisyon ka na, kasi tao rin naman ako, nasasaktan. And you? I don't think nararamdaman mo yung sakit na nararamdaman ko... You are just too heartless."
