MORE THAN YOU ASKED FOR

Have you ever loved a friend in silence?

Yung tipong araw-araw mong kasama, ka-chika, kakampi sa lahat - pero hindi mo masabi na tumibok na yung puso mo, kasi alam mong the moment you do, it's over.

So you choose not to confess.
You'd rather protect the friendship than risk ruining everything.
But love has a cruel way of slipping through even the tightest lips.

Whispers spread.
They said I liked him.
I didn't confirm, I didn't deny.
Still... everything changed.

From a dynamic duo to strangers with shared memories.
From laughter across hallways to silent glances that sting.
From "tara, sabay tayo" to "nauna na siya."

I never told Kian I loved him.
But somehow... I still lost him.

This is the story of how I loved quietly, lost loudly, and learned the hard way that sometimes, not saying anything breaks you just the same.
