(Now playing as background music : PERFECT by ED SHEERAN)

�I found a love for me

Darling just dive right in

And follow my lead�

Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite. Roses are red, violets are blue, I’m no poet,
I just wanna marry you! Lol. But seriously, I'm not kidding.

The chances of meeting you on this planet are like finding a needle in haystack. A miracle
happened when we found each other. God gave me you to cherish and treasure forever. I
promise to handle your heart with care and treasure it with love.

�Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet

I never knew you were the someone waiting for me�

As the wedding bells rang, I knew to myself that this is the treasurable moment that I've been
longing for. I never thought that this day would come. Clearly, time flies so fast.

Walking down the aisle while you're waiting on the altar. Smiling beautifully. Cherishing every
moment. This scenery is always been a dream of mine. A dream which turned into a reality. A
dream which I never expect that would came true.

�'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

Not knowing what it was

I will not give you up this time�

How can I ever explain how much you mean to me?

Words will never be enough. But I've always been vocal of my feelings, right?

I'm reminding you once again that you'll always be my hope. You're my ray of sunshine when a
storm comes. You're my everything. You're my life. You're my world. You're my one & only true
love. You're my happy pill & you will always be. You're the greatest thing that ever happened to
me & my heart only belongs to you.

You are the missing piece to my life. You are the answer to my prayers. Your presence in my life
brings smiles and loving throughts within my heart. You are the only one person I want & vow to
be with for the rest of my life and grow old with. I love you.

�But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own

1
And in your eyes you're holding mine�

For years, I've never seen you this happy. But now, I assure myself that you are the happiest
man alive that I've ever seen. Seeing you happy makes me the happiest person as well.

How did I know?

Well, you've been somehow crying. I'm quite exaggerated though. Just a trail of few tears from
those beautiful pair of gray eyes down to your cheeks. I know for a fact that wherein those tears
is a sign of happiness. Teary-eyed as it is. Seeing those tears of joy is like seeing its worth as
precious as gold.

�Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight�

Our most unforgettable memories, the treasurable moments that we made, our experiences
and our bonds together is an understatement.

I was wondering if you had an extra heart, mine seems to have been stolen. Listen to my little
heart. It always says your name with every heartbeat.

�Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know

She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home�

Falling in love with you is the second best thing in the world. Finding you is the first. According
to someone, love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness. Well, if that's the case I
totally agree with it.

Hmmmmmmmm, why do I love you?

Simply, because I finally learned what the word means, and you were the one who showed me. I
loved you from the day I met you, there was like a connection between us and I think it will
always remain no matter what happens. I love you & I always will.

�I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets

To carry love, to carry children of our own�

2
From the first time we met, I knew we were meant to be together. God put us together and that
way it will stay, I love you forever.

I could conquer the world with just one hand as long as you were holding the other. I will always
love you endlessly.

�We are still kids, but we're so in love

Fighting against all odds

I know we'll be alright this time

Darling, just hold my hand

Be my girl, I'll be your man

I see my future in your eyes �

Life’s greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved. To love is nothing. To be loved is

something. To love and be loved is everything. My love for you is timeless.

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear. Love
unlocks doors and opens windows that weren’t even there before. Love is the expansion of two
natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other. Love is not
having someone give you the world. Love is creating a whole new world together.

�Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful

I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight�

Every life in this world has been painted by God's own hands, that's why I'm thankful to God.
Simply, because when He painted my life. He included a lovely color and that is you.

I love you unconditionally. I will always accept everything about you even though through thick
& thin.

�Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

I have faith in what I see

3
Now I know I have met an angel in person

And she looks perfect

I don't deserve this

You look perfect tonight�

Hmmmm, where do our love story begin? Let me think. Love story. Love story. Love story. Oh
well, whatever.

How did it happen? Well, anyways you might think that it was just like some cliche loves story.
But it wasn't. Maybe it was. But I don't really know.

Well, the rhetorical question is how did we end up here? I want to share my story and
addressed it to the world. Then let me tell you a story.

I can still remember our first encounter. The day we first met. I surrendered my heart to you the
day we met. You entered into my heart and made me fall in love with you. I love you so much.
Well, that day was definitely a day to remember and a memorable experience as well.
Memories from the past flooded my mind.

(SUMMER 2000)

'� Itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

Down came the rain

And washed the spider out

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain

And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again�'

Well, it started out on the summer of the year 2000. I'm probably seven years old at that time.
Just practically a kid. I was actually walking while singing my favorite song way back. I was
heading to a convenient store nearby to buy ice cream and get some refreshments &
goodies.Though it was just a walking distance from our house.

Sweat envelopes my skin so I gain all my strength to fight the summer heat, but what can I do
it's still very hot. I regret that I didn't bring a cap or an umbrella to protect me from the summer
heat. I'meventually re of heatstroke, skin cancer or whatever. Might as well prevent it .Well, the
fact that I'm here makes it more hotter. The main reason is because I'm hot and you're not.
Hahaha. Just kidding.

4
Well, I describe myself as SPORTY, SUPER PRETTY & "MAARTE", SWEET, SOMEHOW A BIT
SMART, SHOWCASED PLENTY OF TALENTS, AND SLIGHTLY BLUNT. I'm a typical girl-next-door.
I'm a bit straight-forward or somehow direct about my perceptions on sonething. I can say I'm
sonehow a positive & kind person just a little bit though. And I am confidently proud of my
boastfulness with a heart and I thank you. Just kidding aside. Lol.

But hey, let's proceed.

As I walked down the street, I didn't expect to bump with a rugged-looking fat kid. But he's
cute.We accidentally bump into each other. We had a strange few childish arguments but
eventually we settled it. We talked about some petty things, something random, and initiated a
couple conversation.

Well, that's the start of our booming friendship. Who would have thought that a bizzare
bumping moment gave us the chance & opportunity to built wonderful years of friendship. We
grew close together. We eventually became best of friends. Fortunately, we started out as
friends. That's a good thing though. Perhaps we did get to know each other and already
messing each others lives from the start.

I found out a lot of things about you. Yes, its all about you, Iñaki. You're favorites, likes, dislikes,
hobbies, etc. I just know for a fact is that I know you too well better than anyone else. We played
a lot during those times and always eat ice cream together. You we're also my neighbor. As a
kid, I was very happy that we're neighbors. Then, we became best of friends. Well, somehow he
became my only summer friend.

(PRIMARY YEARS)

As summer ends, I'm glad that we go onto the same school. But the fact that we're classmates
made me super happy.

During those elementary days, we're always together. There we're times that he was a victim of
bullying, because he was slightly obese. Therefore, I had to confront and face all those kids who
bullies him. At some point I held all my gutts to rescue him from those mean kids. He had always
my back when his in trouble. I was like his savior though.

Since I was a kid, I wasn't able to resist his charms. I didn't expect that I would developed
feelings for him this early which then have grown throughout the years. Well, at first I thought it
was just a simple admiration or a crush. But it wasn't, it's something else. Little did I know I was
falling for him deeply. Though I'm very much confused about my feelings for him. I knew it will
just simply fade away.

This is just a phase or I am just infantuated, right?

5
But I thought wrong. No matter how I tried to decline my feelings for him. I just simply can't. It
was so hard for me to resist. I knew that this would happened. Though I didn't tell him directly
but I let him feel my genuine love. I can't deny the fact that I eventually fell for him. That is my
first downfall. I knew that he can't return my love for him anyways. Sadly, but true.

There's no always return and exchange policy when it comes to love. Sometimes if the person
you love the most doesn't love you back like how you love him is OKAY. Because as long as you
make him feel loved that's all what matters.

(HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE YEARS)

I'm a high school student now. We're still friends. Indeed, a very close one. We label ourselves as
bestfriends. We're bestfriends only. Nothing more. Just that.

My feelings for him grew even more. I should probably move on or I should tell him, right?

He grew up handsomely hot. He's no longer the fat cute kid. He doesn't have a serious
relationship though. He's very famous around girls. Every girl on campus does everything just to
get his attention. He's a fuckboy now. A cassanova. A playboy. He's a jerk. A total asshole. Psh,
cliche. But that doesn't turn me off. I love everything about him.

This sucks. Fuck this one-sided love.

Until one day, he asked me this little favor. I never expect he'd be serious. He wants me to play
cupid to persue his love interest. So I asked him, why me? Well, he's dumb. According to his
sentiments, I'm his bestfriend and I should support him all the way especially through helping
him in making her fall for him. I smiled bitterly of the thought that I'm just his bestfriend.

Should I smile because we're friends or cry because that's all we'll ever be?

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what hurts more is to love someone,
and never find the courage to let them know how you feel. So, I should tell him.

Well, fuck him. I'm not a masochist. I'm not that stupid. I'm not inclined with it. I disagreed to do
it. I don't want him to use me as a bridge in matchmaking him and her. Well, I gave him excuses
or alibis. Then, I confessed but he rejected me numerous times.

' So, who's this unlucky girl? ' I kiddingly asked. But deep inside my heart shattered into pieces.

' She's from our batch. Her name's Angel. ' he smiled dreamingly on his response.

6
Psh, of course I knew her. Angel, Angel, Angel. Her name says it all. She's an angel. From the
physical aspects down to her attitude. She's definitely an angel. All I can say is thar she's almost
perfect. A wonderful person to be with.

Life sucks. But why her?! Why?!

A song suddenly played from the speaker.

�Damn, I like me better when I'm with you

I like me better when I'm with you

I knew from the first time, I'd stay for a long time 'cause

I like me better when

I like me better when I'm with you�

Damn, this song. As realization hit me, I don't want him for her. He's only for me. So I decided to
tell him about my feelings. I held all my gutts to say it while looking directly on those orbs.

Then I confessed but he rejected me. Not only once. Not only twice. Not only thrice but
countless of times. Ouch. It hurts!

' I like you.......

......as a friend.' he said.

' I don't want to ruin our friendship.'

' I'm sorry. I could only offer you frienship.' he said.

Gosh, it sucks to be friendzoned. Well, I won't loose hope on making him fall for me.
Friendzoned. Psh, I have my ways. I'll make sure you fall for me ......harder. You'll choke with
your own words. Hahahahaha ( evil laugh). I won't let you go that easily. You won't get away
from me. You'll eventually reciprocate my feelings for you.

' I don't care. No matter what you say, but I'm not giving up. '

' Stop playjng hard to get. I'll make you fall for me.'

' I'll always chase after you until you say you love me too. ' I said.

Finally, after years of chasing. You fell for me and said those three magical words which I have
been waiting for.

7
' I love you.' he said. Full of sincerity.

' I love you too.' I replied.

(PRESENT)

" I now pronounce you as husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride. "

Hmmmm, memories. I smiled. It's fun to reminisced the days. I'm drowning in my own thoughts
again.

I darted my eyes to those lovely couple while saying their wedding vows to each other. I smiled
while looking at them.

After all these years, who would have thought you'll end up together. They look great together
though. I'm happy for them. I'm definitely happy. I wished them all the best.

"KISS! , KISS! , KISS! , KISS!"

Well, I'm attending their wedding. Iñaki and Angela's wedding. Yep, their wedding. Not ours. I'm
Angela's maid of honor though. But I'm glad that he found his happiness within her.

What? Do you expect happy endings?

As stated above, this is not a love story. Almost but not quite a love story. Not my love story.
This is a story which revolves around with two people madly in love with each other but can't
be together.

Hmmmm, are you still wondering what happened between us?

Love starts with a hug, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear. And that's it. A million words
wouldn't bring you back, I know because I tried. Neither would a million tears, I know because
I've cried.

How did we end up this way?

It's simple, he fell out of love. I just woke up one day that he doesn't love me anymore. But he
used to be. He broke my heart and it hurts like shit. But I'm glad that I made him happy. As we
grew maturely, our relationship also grew apart. It ended just in a snap.

Things go wrong but love remains strong with time. But looks like you and me were never
destined to be together in life. One of the hardest things in life is watching the person you love,
love someone else.

8
I cried a lot when he said that everything is over between us. It was not easy for me. It was not
easy to let go. It was not easy to be left out of love. But I have moved on because he's not in
love with me anymore!

It is never easy to part ways. It's never easy to part ways with someone you love so dearly. It's
never easy to mend a broken heart. I want to tell you many things but I can't speak after what
you did to me.

Our bond of love was not a status you post on Facebook and Twitter. Not a picture to be posted
on Instagram. Our bond of love was special and pure and that was my thinking not yours You
broke off and gave me the pain and suffering all my life.

I had good memories with you which I will cherish all my life. Yes, it will be tough for me. So
tough to even survive. But I will move on with you from being a part of my life

I still do not have a reason why it did not work that way.We wanted it to work. We wanted it our
way. But why? Why our love ended on a sad note? Why love is so complicated? Why my fate is
so ill-fated?

I thought that we would be together forever. I thought we would be one, But, I was wrong all
the way. You just went away. So, be it this way. I still do not have a reason to understand.

To my Iñaki wish I could be yours. Wish that it would not end this way but it did not happen as I
thought. Now I do not have a word to say. Letting go of all the love that was in my heart for you.

Over the time I could see in his eyes. His feelings had surely changed. That love in his eyes was
missing somewhere. Being with me, he was not there. He was lost before I could find him. A
love that was not there between me and him. So breakup would be fine enough for memories
will stay in heart.

But hey, we're okay. No hurt feelings. We still remain as buddies. Yep, we're still good friends. I
never regret in spending those blissful moments with him.

Well, I love him. Still in love with him. He loved me. Past tense. Sadly, but true. He totally
moved on from me.

One thing that I'm sure about is that I love him. I'm always capable of loving him. I love him
then. I love him still. I always have and I always will.

I never imagine that it will turn out this way. It shattered my heart into pieces.

Drifting. Drifting away from each other's arms.

9
I suffered with that heartbreak throughout the years. I wasn't able to truly moved on from him.
But someday I will.

Well, I made progress today. I'm doing the moving on process. Exciting, isn't it? Although, I'm
still coping up. The wound which he left still hurts. It's just to hard to forget him.

Acceptance is key. I accepted the fact that I wasn't born for happy endings.

"Pinagtagpo man tayo ngunit hindi itinadhana. Sad life ika nga. "

I love my life. I definitely value it.

And now let me embrace my illness with open arms.

I'm dying in less than 3 months.

Yep, I'm sick.

BRAIN TUMOR. STAGE 4.

- THE END
