There Cannot Be an Us in Every Lifetime
Love was the most venomous thing I had ever dared to take, yet when it came to you, I was willing to lower my walls and whisper, “I love you,” because I believed that despite the fear in my heart, you would carry this love of mine with caution and care.
Years, months, and days have passed, yet it feels as though it were only yesterday when we exchanged our feelings. Thank you, because despite the ache I’ve carried within me about love, you treated my heart with care and assured me that loving you wouldn’t leave it bearing more scars.
Perhaps this love came at the wrong time, in a place where it could never fully bloom. Still, I would choose to remember it, for once in my life, I believed that love was worth risking.

Gihiguma taka pag-ayo. Te amo. Ay-ayaten ka. I love you.
Yet I must set this love aside, for we both know there cannot be an us in every lifetime.
Our love will never be a sin. But it does not rejoice in truth, and we must let go.
I will carry your name in my prayers, hoping that you and I will one day stand before the Most High.
