It Was Good While It Lasted Meaning Novels & Stories

“Mula sa pag-iwan, hanggang sa walang hanggan. Dumped to Forever—dahil ang paglayo ay naging daan upang mas mapatunayan na ang pagmamahal natin ay hindi matitinag ng panahon, panlilinlang, o anumang pagsubok na maaaring dumaan sa ating landas.” Sa sandaling banggitin niya ang mga salitang iyon, tila bumalik ang lahat ng yugto ng kanilang kwento at muling naglarawan sa isipan nila. “Dumped to Forever” ay hindi karaniwang kahulugan ng pagtatapos o pagtalikod—sa halip, ito ay naging kanilang sariling kahulugan ng tagumpay.

"Ito ay ang pagkakataon na gamitin ang gift mo para sa good. Ang good na mas malaki kaysa sa isang maliit na Café." "Ang good ay hindi defined ng magnitude, Amelia," paliwanag ni Billie. "Ito ay defined ng depth. Sa loob ng sampung taon, binuo ko ang foundation ng peace para sa pamilya ko at sa komunidad na ito.

He smiled at me, a kind of smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Some good things never last. Siguro hindi pa natin naiintindan sa ngayon pero lahat ng mga nangyayari sa buhay natin may rason. Whatever you are feeling right now, malalampasan mo din yan, tiwala lang."

like it is the first time. I remember how great it was because... it is what it's supposed to be. Great things are not meant to last.

"Ma'am, okay lang po ba kayo?" "Okay lang ako nak, thanks for asking." 'Yon ang reply ko sa kanya. "Basta ma'am, h'wag na po kayong malungkot. Ayokong nalulungkot ka".

"If we all could leave something lasting behind to be remembered by, just a song for me and then at least I would have tried..." Napalingon ako kay Ismael. Why does it sound so familiar? "I agree, it's not so much what we have as how we use what we have in our lifetime... Thirty years is worth a hundred and two. It's really what we can do in our lifetime..."

He stated a matter of factly. "Ofcourse. It's not worth the risk, Zeph. Love is only good while it lasts. It's short termed."

Effortlessly driving me crazy. I was suddenly speechless.

I almost lost myself until my egos saving me. "Ako din pala mananalo e. Pinapatagal mo pa." Pabiro kong wika. Umiling-iling siya sa naging reaksyon ko. Nagkibit balikat na lamang ako.
