[Last of LOYAL HEARTS ] Abuse. Neglection. Independence. Malaki ang epekto sa buhay ng isang tao kapag lumaki sa kapaligirang hindi inaambunan ng pagmamahal. Love composes almost the whole percentage of life in general. Love in any kinds. Along in growing up is a discernment that you're not capable of the platitude affection. Ngunit sa paggising mo isang araw kung saan napagtanto mo ang isang bagay na inaakala mong hindi mo mararamdaman kahit kailan, isang pag-unawa ang pilit kumakain sa isip. And it is thinking that you don't deserve it. You don't deserve reciprocated feelings. Because you also grew up with the thought that you don't deserve the beautiful things.

Sa isang pagwawakas, hindi maaaring walang masasaktan. Isa man sa inyo, o kayong dalawa pareho. Sa bawat mga hakbang palayo, ay ang unti-unting pagkawasak ng mga puso. Sa pag-angat ng kamay upang punasan ang mga luha, may naglalandas na panibago. Isang pangakong ikaw lang ang naglikha. Paninindigan na magkahiwalay niyong ipinaglalaban. Pero sa hindi inaasahang pagbitaw ng isa para sa iba, alam mong may magbabago, at inaasahan niyo na ito. Pero hinahayaan niya lang. Dahil alam niyang babalikan mo siya. Babalik ka sa kanya. Babalik kayo para sa isa't isa.
