When you've always been everybody's shoulder to cry on. Iyong taong laging takbuhan kapag kailangan ng kausap, kapag may problema, o kung kailangan ng kaunting tulak para manatiling matatatag sa lahat ng pagsubok sa buhay.
Your friends listening ears no matter when and no matter what.
But countless nights have you cried yourself to sleep just because you can't let out the things running inside your head. Countless times have you felt drowning with your own thoughts, with your own tears. Feeling like you have no one else except yourself, and your self-induced bravery.
Wishing you also got someone to talk to. Praying you'd also have that listening ears and sincere eyes looking at you, assuring you that everything will eventually work out fine.
And then he came. Without a warning. In colors you'll surely remember. In a milieu you'll never forget.
But --- also left anyway.
Because, maybe life won't always work our way.
So, you'll have to learn how to swim alone again, learn how to ride the waves of nostalgia.
