She used to tell me to never get scared of anything, but my judgement changed when the person who told me to never be afraid, left. And as she slips away, I was able to tell, that the person who was there in the beginning might be no longer at my side in the end.
And it scares me, because the moment she surrenders, might be the moment that my hero is no longer there to fight and protect me. She chose to fight but she was already tired. She chose to continue but her body was stopping her. She was my hero but i became her kryptonite.
The clock ticks and the sand of time has been emptied and the only thing left to do is to accept and have the courage to let go. Because as the heart accepts, the wound heals.
It took courage before i chose to bid my last words, 'goodbye'.

Words I never Tell
At some point in my life, I choose to let go of her. And not because I stopped loving her, but because I had reached the point that I was drained and can no longer continue fighting for her when all she gives me in return is pain. It's not about asking to get my feelings reciprocated, I just realized that I deserve the same amount of love that I am giving. And it hurts to know that when I decided to let go, she didn't hold my hand to keep holding on. She never tried to fight for her place in my heart. -Hariette I'm not afraid of love. I am afraid to feel the pain. That's why I keep pushing you away. It's tiring. But I'm afraid that I will never heal and be whole again. Because nothing makes me happier and nothing makes me sadder than you." -Candice Love turned to loved. Saying first hello's to saying goodbyes. I love you to I miss you. Promises turned into sorry. Love isn't fair you know? What we have is more than that. Ours may not be normal. But isn't this what everyone wants? Stable and secure relationship. I love you and you love me. We trust each other like no one else can. There will be no pain in our kind of love. -AllistonComplete![Everything Has Changed [EDITING]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/11359876-256-k957275.jpg)

In the Shadow of Regret
"When you choose to love, you must understand from the very beginning that pain is inevitable." - Zyrelle Dayne Locre Zyrelle never believed in perfect endings, but she thought their love could withstand anything. From the moment she met Dwayne in college-ruining his thesis and nearly his future-they were caught in a whirlwind of conflict, friendship, and, eventually, love. She stood by him, believed in him, and when the opportunity of a lifetime came knocking, she was the one who pushed him toward it, even when he didn't want to go. She promised to wait. He promised to return. But distance is a cruel thing. When whispers of betrayal reached her, she refused to believe them-until she saw the truth with her own eyes. The man she loved, the man she had waited for, lay in a bed that was no longer just theirs. She walked away without a word, carrying nothing but the weight of regret. Three years later, Zyrelle is still piecing herself back together, but the scars of the past remain. Some choices are impossible to undo, and some pains never truly fade. But when fate forces their paths to cross once more, she must decide-will she keep running from the past, or will she finally face the shadow of what they once were?Complete
Never Faze You (Sultan Naga Series #2)
She was raised on Sunday hymns. He lived by Friday prayers. She valued structure. He carried peace. Their differences should've been a warning, but the pull between them was hard to ignore. Aiferniza Key Claramoza and Hafzajid Mateen Rabbani. She told herself their bond was harmless. That maybe, just maybe, love could survive between two people with such different truths.

100 Days Before I Die
"100 days before I die. I made a bucket list for everything I want to experience in my remaining days. It wasn't only a bucket list but it became a lifeline - how I could squeeze out every minute of happiness of my already determined number of days. It may have put an expiration date on my life, but it won't define how I spend it. Chronic myelogenous leukemia would not dictate these precious last days of mine to squander on something as vile as regret. From soaring like a bird to witness the stars, through this dance in the rain, or even trying out all delicious tastes I could possibly have, I will never be defeated by this illness inside me. Here are the next 100 days-to live more recklessly, to love more deeply and leave behind what may end up being a legacy" - Pein Claire CliffordComplete
Stop The Endless Chase
"Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up." - James A. Baldwin This is the hardest and toughest decision that I have ever made in my entire life. I thought at first that it was leaving him two years ago but I thought wrong. Kasi kung iisipin, noon aalis ako pero alam kong may babalikan pa ako. Pero ngayon, aalis ako at kahit na ilang beses pa akong bumalik ay wala na akong babalikan. Whatever decisions that I'll be doing, I know that I won't regret anything. This is where I'm going to end everything. This is where I'm going to stop chasing. This painful reality is going to be my lesson to accept the fact that not all things will remain until the end. Right now, all I need to do is to stop the endless chase just like what he wanted me to do.Complete
CHANCES ARE
How can we define what we feel? Why do people waste all the important things that are just in front of them? Why do we need to get hurt? We always wear the trial-and-error system of living. We tend to ignore things, chances and people when they are still there, when they are still completely available. Without knowing, that in the end, when everything was gone, you already missed the moment to enjoy them. Words. Trust. Feelings. Just don't take these for granted. Not even take advantage of. Here's a story of a woman, named Meng, who started falling for RJ after he left. And, yes, it changed everything about her, from her cracking laughter to her exploding cheeks with eyes full of dreams. Initially, she's terrified to admit that her grayish days finally turned red. For she knows that heaven is just right next to him. He's hers. She's his.Complete
Honne; Tatemae
"No! Stop!" I could see her fading silhouette. She keeps on walking away just like the way I dreamt of her every night. 'No! Please don't walk away. I need to see your face. I need to know your name. I need to find you.' But I know that it wasn't enough. If there's anything that she's good at, it is into dodging people away. "Please!?" I almost beg. "I need to see you. Just stop." I keep on running and chasing after her. But like in every dreams, she kept on slowly fading away. And I could feel the same emptiness within whenever I've dreamt of this. It starts with her fading hands. Like a human form that's painfully breaking into tiny crystallized pieces that's scattered into thin air, she's dissolving in an incredibly fast-paced. "No. Please don't!" I could feel the tears that's running down on my cheeks as I try to grab her fading hand. "No! No!" As if there's a heavy rock on my chest, my breath starts to heave. I could feel the hollow emptiness within and the contradictory feeling of being crushed beneath.Complete
