Between the Lines We Never Said

Some love stories are loud and dramatic.
Ours lived quietly-between unread messages, stolen glances, and words we were too afraid to say.

I never planned to fall for my best friend.
Pero nangyari na lang. Slowly, silently, at unti-unti, he became the person I couldn't imagine my life without.

Eli knew me better than anyone. He stayed kahit lumayo ako. He stayed kahit nagtatago ako. Pero I never had the courage to tell him na hawak na niya ang puso ko.

Will we finally say the words we've been keeping? Or will life make us regret the silence?
