Paalam na, aking mahalKay hirap sabihinPaalam na, aking mahalMasakit isipin na kahit nagmamahalan paPuso't isipa'y magkaibaMaaring 'di lang laan sa isa't isa

"Goodbye now, my love," he said, the words feeling like lead in his throat. "One day, someone else will come into your life—someone who can love you more than I ever could".

They still loved each other. That was the hardest part. It wasn't a lack of affection that pulled them apart; it was the realization that their "hearts and minds were different". While Mark dreamed of a quiet life in their hometown, Elena’s soul was already halfway across the world, chasing a career that demanded all of her. They were two people deeply in love, but no longer "meant for each other" in the way their lives were unfolding.

Nais ko lang malaman moLaman ng aking pusoBaka 'di na mabigyan ng ibang pagkakataonNa sabihin ito sa 'yo'Di ko ito ginustoNa tayo'y magkalayoNguni't 'di magkasundoDamdamin laging 'di magtagpo, oh

"I just want you to know what's in my heart," Mark began, his voice barely a whisper. He looked at her, realizing this might be his last chance to say it before the distance between them became permanent.

Mark and Elena sat in a familiar booth at their favorite corner cafe, but the air between them felt different today. For months, they had been navigating a growing silence—not the comfortable kind they used to share, but one heavy with things unsaid.

Paalam na, aking mahalKay hirap sabihinPaalam na, aking mahalMasakit isipin na kahit nagmamahalan paPuso't isipa'y magkaibaMaaring 'di lang laan sa isa't isa
