If We Ever Promised (If We Ever Triology Book #1)

Naranasan mo na bang mahulog sa taong halos hindi mo maabot?

Yung tipong isang sulyap niya lang, guguho ka na pero sa kaniya, para ka lang hangin na dumaan... at tuluyang nawala.

Hindi ko rin inaasahan. But with every silent glance, with every sarcastic reply, I fell for him even more. Parang bangungot na ayaw ko nang gisingan-dahil kahit masakit, gusto ko pa rin.

He was cold. Detached. Untouchable. But behind his walls, there were cracks. At ako, tangan ang pusong basag basag, pilit na pumasok sa mundo niyang puno ng katahimikan.

Hanggang sa nagbago ang ihip ng hangin.

We started to talk. Laugh. Stay. He sang for me under a sky full of stars his voice, raw and unfiltered, like a piece of his soul accidentally slipping through the cracks.

I painted him with trembling hands, thinking I was capturing something real.

Something real. Something mine.

But it wasn't from him that I learned the truth. It was from someone else someone who didn't even mean to break me, but did, with a few careless words that turned my world into ruin.

Sa mga sandaling 'yon, akala ko... baka pwede.

But I should've known. The universe doesn't favor girls like me girls who love too much and hope too hard.

Because one night, I heard something I wasn't meant to. And in that fragile second, everything shattered.

All the late-night talks.
All the shared songs.
All the quiet moments I thought meant something.

They all turned to dust.

I guess I will never be his-nor he will ever be mine.
