I Remember it All Too Well (Red Series No. 1)

Love was supposed to feel warm, parang jacket na binabalot sa katawan kapag malamig. At first, ganoon nga. There were late night talks, funny jokes, handwritten letters, dreams of being there for each other in the future.

Kalvin Rae Uy was older, wiser and felt like home for Nathania Fanth Alejo who is younger, hopeful and willing to give everything for him.

But it can also be cruel.

Promises become unkept, hello's turns into goodbyes and all their dreams of building a future together vanished. Naiwan sa ala-ala ni Nathania lahat ng mga salitang binitawan ng lalaki at lahat ng mga pangakong pinako niya sa huli. He moved on like it was nothing. She stayed, picking up the pieces, wondering why her love is not enough to make him stay.

First love really cuts deep-- being loved loudly at first, then quietly forgotten. Growing up too fast because someone older taught you how to break, realizing that sometimes, closure doesn't come with apologies but from finally choosing yourself.

Years later, dala pa rin niya ang bigat ng nakaraan. Pero dala rin niya ang lakas na natutunan niya mula rito.

Because some love don't last forever, but the memories and the lessons?
You remember them all too well.
