Nalulungkot ako minsan kasi meron pa rin akong takot sa dibdib; takot na baka magbago ang nararamdaman mo para sa akin. Kahit sinasabi mong wag akong malungkot o matakot. Nalulungkot ako kasi nakukunsensya ako; para kasing napakamakasarili ko, naghahanap pa ako gayong sobrang pagtatyaga na nga ang ginagawa mo sa paghihintay at pagsundo sa akin araw-araw mula sa trabaho. Alam kong nasasaktan ka dahil natatakot ako. Patawarin mo ako. Ngunit masakit rin para sa akin ang matakot. Dahil hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin malinaw kung ano nga ba tayong dalawa sa isa't isa, ano ba ang gusto mong mangyari. Lalo na ngayon. Naninibago ako dahil hindi mo na masabing mahal mo ako. Masakit pero iintindihin ko na lang kaysa mawala ka. Ayokong mawala ka dahil nararamdaman mong nasasakal ka. Ano nga naman ba ang karapatan ko? Alam mong sa 'yo lang ako, pero iniisip ko pa rin kung kelan yung panahong walang pag-aalinlangan kong masasabi na akin ka.

A week to go and it's your birthday. What's happening to us? I'd like to think that this is simply the product of my warped mind, but lately I'm wondering why we (you) are cooling off. Are we?

I've told you before, I do crazy things and always, always, always tell you I love you cos I know one day I mightn't be able to do this anymore, not because I don't want to but because I shouldn't. Nothing's stopping me now, but who knows what will happen tomorrow?

... Tomorrow you might realize you don't want me anymore.

Today, I'm pushing fear aside. It doesn't happen everyday that I got you all to myself the entire day.

Happy birthday

It's hard to pretend not to know.

... But all that didn't matter. I knew you were right. This was a miracle - and it was happening to me. So I just let go. I gave everything I had. Why hold back? It never occurred to me that you wouldn't understand completely, approve of me, rejoice in what we were doing, because we had this magic.
