It happened to Taylor. It can happen to you, too. 🫂🥹🩵
It’s a love story ‘cos Taylor Swift just said yes—but before her happy ever after, there were heartbreaks, tears, and All Too Well.
All Too Well’s my all-time fave. Noong una kong nakita ’yung emotions in her eyes while performing this song in front of a crowd, I could only hope na isang araw, hindi na magiging masakit sa kanya na kantahin ito.
Naalala ko agad ’to when I read about the engagement. Finally. Ito na ’yon.
Tapos naisip ko ’yong mga luhang pumatak dahil sa kantang ’to mula sa iba’t ibang tao na may kanya-kanyang kuwento.
Maybe they got lost in translation?
Maybe they asked for too much?
Maybe their thing was a masterpiece ’til one of them tore it all up?
Maybe they were kept like a secret while they kept the other person like an oath?
Maybe someone called them up again just to break them like a promise?
Maybe it wasn’t that fun turning 21?
Maybe they’re in a new hell?
Or maybe they’re a crumpled-up piece of paper lying somewhere?
Sa bawat bahagi ng kanta, mayroong istorya.
May kuwento ng kirot.
Lungkot.
Kawalan ng pag-asa.
But if you’re one of them, I hope you find comfort in the thought that one day, singing All Too Well won’t hurt anymore.
It happened to Taylor.
It can happen to you, too.
By then, you might still remember it all too well, but it won’t matter dahil healed ka na.
And all is well.
