As Good As It Gets

I should be preparing for work but instead I found myself re-reading stuff that I have written a few months ago. Suddenly, as if on cue, tears started to form on the corner of my eyes. Just when I was just about to go emo, I stopped myself. It was then when I remembered how it felt like to be in love at that time. It made me smile. Kinilig pa din ako. I stood up, got myself a bagel and some cream cheese and stared into the horizon.

"It was good while it lasted, Tristan.", I whispered.

And I guess it's true for all cases of love gone bad. That no matter what happened afterwards; no matter who or what was the cause of love's fall out; no matter what the circumstances were and even if you both still love each other; nobody can take the moments that you two made together. It will be your shared reality. So smile, neither of you will forget.
