During college nakilala ko siya. Eros Wilson, He's one of my favorite person during that time dahil tahimik at gentleman. We exchange digits at naging close kami na parang kuya ko. Time passed, until we graduated I didn't realize that we keep on texting but nothing special. 'Kumusta, Good morning, Kumain na, that's it.

"Rye, how are you? Nasaan ka ngayon?." After long four years naging interesado siya kung nasaan ako. I had a busy life so I don't even noticed that he still keep in touch with me.

"I'm here in Dasmariñas Cavite, why?." I curiously answered.

"I want to see you. Pupuntahan kita." He replied. At iba ang naramdaman ko sa mga oras na 'yon. He's staying in Tarlac at kahit malayo pupuntahan niya ako.

"How are you, Rye. I miss you. Please stay." At niyakap niya ako habang sinasabi 'yon. I was so confuse that moment. Nanliligaw ba siya? Mahal niya na ako? He held my hands in public at kinikilig ako; people around us thought we were dating. 'Doon naman talaga kami papunta'. My heart lively shouting.

"I love you. Rye." Naghihintay ako na sabihin niya ang salitang yan dahil 'oo' agad ako pero hindi ko marinig. He only talk about his future plans, goals and his dreams. It seems I'm belong to them. I don't know where I put myself. His mixed signals was hard to explain.

Then one day bigla na lang siyang hindi nagparamdam. I check on his social media I saw him with another man. Parang piniga ang puso ko at nanlambot ang mga tuhod ko. Hindi ko alam kung iiyak ba ako o magagalit sa kanya. Hindi ko man lang naramdaman na hindi pala iyon pagmamahal ng isang lalaki. But I will never regrets loving him.
