“Loving someone who already has someone in her heart, is already a losing game.”
A painful and exhausting battle kay no matter how much love you pour in… their heart is already anchored to someone else. Another unrequited situation where feelings are not equally returned. And every time you love someone unavailable, your mind struggles between hope and reality. You might rationalize staying despite knowing it won’t lead anywhere. Mura kag ga chase ug shadow guys ba na you can run after it but you’ll never truly hold it.
And many people hold onto the belief that “one day, pilion ra siguro ko niya” leading to a cycle of false hope and disappointment.
Mao nang at some point you have to ask yourself “Is this love, or is it self-betrayal?” Kay even tho kabalo naka nga wala nay chance you keep on staying even if it breaks you down, kumbaga murag inside job ba. Because Real love should be mutual and fulfilling. Not a competition or a waiting game. Holding onto someone who cannot fully love you back only leads to self-doubt and unfulfilled longing.
