More Than a Maybe ✨

Samantha’s POV

“Ang Paglimot Hindi Biglaan — Pero Minsan, Isang Umaga, Nagigising Kang Mas Magaan Na.”

I woke up today not thinking about him first.

Not in the way I used to — checking if he messaged, wondering what mood he’s in, or if he remembered anything at all about me.

This morning, I made coffee for myself.

Played music not tied to any memories.

Wore the sweater I used to lend him — this time, for my comfort, not because it reminded me of him.

And for the first time in a while… I felt okay.

I kept replaying last night in my head.

His words.

His eyes.

The way he stood there — not asking for anything, just finally being honest.

And that did something to me.

Not because I suddenly wanted him back.

But because… for the first time, he didn’t confuse me.

No mixed signals.
