"But... could we at least try again?" I said almost a whisper.
He looked at me with hopelessness in his eyes.
"You know, maybe this time we could have our happy ever after?" I tried to convince him again while my tears fell fast, betraying me.
He took my hand and entwined them, shocking me.
"If happy ever afters did exist, I would still be holding you like this..." He quoted a line from a song.
Umiling siya sa akin. He looked at me with bloodshot eyes.
I understand what he meant, but it's too painful to accept.
I looked at him as tears never stopped falling from my eyes. I nodded finally accepting the bitter truth.
"Then in another life, I would apply to be your girl" I said while forcing a laugh but failed when a sob escaped from my lips.
He finally looked at me, tears now visible in his face.
"In another life then..."
We then turned our backs from each other, and just like that, we parted ways...
