forgetful

i have this feeling when I finally find the words to say

 


it's a song

everybody's looking for something

 
She remembers how he used to ask her if she was okay. 

She'd say "Yeah" most of the time, but sometimes "No."

He'd tell her that he knew it, that he could feel it whenever she wasn't okay.

She used to find it annoying - at times even cringey - that he thought there was some invisible string that tied him to her, that bound them together. Other girls might've found it romantic, but she was not an ordinary girl by any means. 

She never thought the day would come when she would find herself missing randomly being asked if she was okay. 

it's a song

i'm well aware of things that can destroy a man like me


"One of the things I didn't approve of was that you never stopped seeing people. I don't think you've had ample time to fix yourself nang ikaw lang. You haven't had enough time to work on your baggages. Hindi ka nabakante e. Hindi ka pa buo. Hindi mo pinahinga ang sarili mo. You haven't had enough time to reflect on who you are, or who you should be, or who you want to be, without any reference to a guy you're dating."


forgetful

as the world keeps spinning round

 

You hold me right here right now

Sometimes she looks at him when he doesn't know it, and she wonders how on earth she got someone so perfect to fall in love with her.
