To the Friends Who Never Left, Even When I Did
I know I haven’t been the easiest person to reach lately. Minsan ang tagal kong mag-reply, minsan seen lang, minsan bigla na lang akong nawawala. It's not because I don’t care, God knows I do. It’s just life’s been heavy. And I’ve been tired in ways I can’t explain. There were days na I just wanted to disappear for a bit not forever, just enough to breathe. Pero kayo, you stayed. Quietly. Gently. And that means the world to someone like me. I don’t always say how much I need you. I rarely say how much I love you. Pero sa bawat araw na akala ko mag-isa lang ako, You were there even in silence, you were there. Thank you for loving me in my quietest. Thank you for understanding when I had no words. Thank you for not making me feel guilty for just… surviving. Hindi ko palaging kaya maging present, Pero ang swerte ko na kayo, never nanghingi ng more than I could give. I may not show it often, But I carry you with me in the softest, safest part of my heart. I don’t say this a lot, But thank you for being my peace in a world that overwhelms me.
