LIFETIME

Ang sabi sa kanta, "there's no fairytale ending if there's no beginning" paano kung may simula? Paano kung nasimulan naman at sadyang hindi lang natapos? Is it worth it to reminisce?

Kwento ng dalawang taong nagmahal, nagkamali, at tila paulit-ulit na nahuhuli para sa isa't isa.

Kaliea and Darien were never just "almost"-but also not sure what they had either, and one mistake broke the trust they both thought was unbreakable. Darien spent 5 years trying to win her back, and almost decade just to yearn for her, quietly and persistently, but Kaliea never gave in. Not because she stopped feeling, but because something inside her always felt like it wasn't enough to go back to.

As time passed, life moved forward. Kaliea learned to choose peace over history, and eventually found a love that was steady and certain-someone who made her feel safe, not confused. Pero kahit gano'n, may mga araw na tahimik pa rin siyang napapaisip sa "what if" nila ni Darien.

At si Darien, kahit anong pilit niyang mag-move on, there were still moments he caught himself thinking about her in the middle of ordinary days-like she never really left him.

Then came the day Kaliea was getting married. And in one quiet moment before everything changes, they see each other again. No dramatic words, no confessions-just heavy silence with everything they both remember but can no longer claim. At bago sila tuluyang mag hiwalay ng landas, muling nag tama ang kanilang mga mata-parehas nagtatanong...

Was there a lifetime waiting for us?

"How do you grieve for a love that did not even exist?" For them, maybe it exists, because it lingers...
