"Nero, I'm worn out and exhausted and you, breathing the same air as mine is not helping. If you have a little pity on me, you'll leave now." "Why are you so problematic about him?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. "Because he just confessed to me and he's my close friend!" "Then unfriend him," parang walang pakialam na sabi niya. "Since high school, I'm already with him and he is important to me. I don't want to lose our friendship." Gosh, bakit mo ba ako nagustuhan, Allaistair? I'm a bitch and you know that!

Maaaring may mawala at masira. I am thinking right now, is our friendship over?

"You know what, kung hindi lang namin kayo kilala, we'll be thinking that you're more than friends." 'Yeah great! There goes the line again.' ************************

seryoso nyang sabi sakin. "Totoo to, mahal kita. Mahal na mahal kita since college pa lang" I tried to touch him pero mabilis syang umiwas. "Dylan, don't you feel the same way too, panahon na para maging masaya tayo together" "No!" I was shocked by what he answered. "What?" "We're better off as friends, no not even friends. Hindi pwede" "Panong hindi pwede?!" napataas na ang boses ko at parang maiiyak na ko.

“Nah. We’re not.” “Why not? Ayaw mo ba siyang maging kaibigan?” “Hindi naman sa ayaw ko. But you know me. It takes time. Kaya may posibilidad na maging magkaibigan din kami. For now, nope, we’re not yet friends.”

Nakababa ang tingin ko nang tumingala ako. Me and my friends had our promised-- not to fall in love. Stay friends and be happy. However, this is something we cannot control although I don’t want to be or feel responsible to whatever emotions they will have in the future. Can we still remain friends if things won’t work out?

Hindi lagi rason ang katamaran n'ya. Sa kahit na sandaling mga araw o linggo palang kaming nag-kakakilala, nakikita ko ang akto nito kapag kaibigan na ang pinag-uusapan.

Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's point of view Friendship is a thing easier to build but hardest to keep. I grew up without friends or what. I grew up inside the four corners of my room. Para sa'kin, walang kwenta ang salitang kaibigan dahil mawawala't mawawala rin sila sa buhay na'tin. Having a friend is more like having a weakness. They'll earn your trust but in the end, they'll be out of the picture in your life. Leaving you shattered and betrayed leads you to your weakest form.

Sila iyong tipo ng kaibigan na wala kang mapapala. They are the type of friends na palagi kang pag babawalan ng parents mo na samahan, kaya hindi na ako nag tatakha kung bakit ganito kahigpit ang mga kuya niya. “But, sometimes it’s just get too tight ate, nakakasakal na,” “It helps if you will tell them your feelings, and choose better friends,” She wrinkled her nose. “No thanks, you’re my company now, I don’t need them anymore,”
