I Keep Holding On Mga Nobela at Kwento

To mark her and claim her and never let go. The dream feels fragile. Precious. Dangerous. But I hold onto it anyway.

Because it seems everywhere I go I feel like a victim eaten up fast For once I plead Someone to ask me Will you please..." " It's not the right time. I have to go home and do it." He says. I can hear the confusion in his voice. I continue the poem in my head. 'Will you please... stay.' Yes, that's it! I need to note this down. I grab a sticky note which I store in my pocket. I write down 'stay' with my the only pen I have, a red ballpoint.

Hold on, I still want you Come back, I still need you Let me take your hand, I'll make it right I swear to love you all my life Hold on, I still need you A long endless highway, you're silent beside me Drivin' a nightmare I can't escape from Helplessly praying, the light isn't fadin' Hiding the shock and the chill in my bones They took you away on a table I pace back and forth as you lay still They pull you in to feel your heartbeat Can you hear me screaming, "Please don't leave me" Hold on, I still want you

If you need me, just hold on tight and I'm always here. P.S. There are muffins in the oven, get some because we might need it on the road.

Because destiny has a unique way of unfolding, trust in it.", I completed and peeked down at him to see his expressions. "Am I preaching too much ?", I asked him slowly. He looked at me and smiled. "Thank god you smiled. You know what, this dullness doesn't suit your charming face, so please never do that.", I patted his shoulder.

"just stay with me, please?" "Yes, i will stay no matter how hard this situation. I will stay, mahal." "Thanks, wife." Mas lalo niyang hinigpitan ang yakap dito. Mag-s-stay siya kahit na mahirap at kahit ano pa ang mangyari. Kahit ilang tao pa ang magbanta sa buhay niya hindi siya papayag na magkalayo silang dalwa.

‎And I’m holding onto it with hopeful hands. ‎

“There is more than one way to get you to take it my love, and when it’s gone I’ll personally put a new one in for you if you want one so badly.” A wave of panic and disgust rush over me immediately and I clutch unto my tummy again, reminded myself what’s worth fighting for. I just have to hold on until Kain gets here, I know for a fact that he will get here and saves us both.

More than I can hold together, more than I can hold without him, without them, without, without, without. The items are supposed to help, supposed to be. The leather bag holds them, holds them together like I want to hold. It holds them, holds the thin chains and the thin promises, the promises I make myself believe, make myself pretend, make myself think, think I can be. The chains are supposed to help, are supposed to hold. But I don’t know. I don’t know. I am unsteady. I am.

“Because I’m not letting you go.” And this time— He didn’t fade. He held on. And I held him tighter.
