This book is for the hearts who know what it means to love against time.
For those who have ever looked at someone and thought, If only we had more days.
For the dreamers who believe in the beauty of fleeting moments, who understand that seven days can sometimes hold more meaning than seven years. For the ones who have risked opening their hearts, even when the clock was already ticking down, even when they knew love might end in heartbreak. This is for you.
To the people who have ever chosen to love fiercely despite the certainty of goodbye: you are the bravest souls I know. Because love is never truly measured by its length, but by its depth—the way it changes you, breaks you, and heals you all at once.
I dedicate this story to the quiet souls who keep their secrets close, who smile even when carrying invisible burdens. Like Anton, you've built walls to protect yourself, yet deep inside you still hope for someone to climb over them. Like Krystel, you carry pieces of yourself you never show the world, but long for someone to see beyond your laughter and into your silences. May you find in these pages a reflection of your strength, your fears, and your desire to be truly seen.
This is for the friends who never gave up on us. To the Princesses of our lives—those best friends who listen without judgment and notice what others fail to see. To the Jerrys—those who anchor us when our hearts go adrift. To the Simeons—mentors who challenge us, even when their words hurt. To the Jamals—who stand at the edges, quietly loving from afar. And to the Celestines—those who, whether by choice or fate, carry pieces of the truth we often overlook. You all exist in real life too, and your presence makes every story richer.
To the readers who stumbled upon this book—whether by chance, curiosity, or fate—thank you. Out of the thousands of stories you could be holding in your hands right now, you chose this one. Maybe because you, too, have known what it feels like to pretend, to hope, to fall in love when the odds are against you. Maybe because you crave stories that echo your own unspoken thoughts. Or maybe because you're searching for proof that even short-lived love can still be unforgettable. Whatever the reason, you are here. And for that, I am grateful.
This book is also dedicated to time—the most relentless character in all our lives. We cannot bargain with it, stop it, or reverse it. Yet it is within time's limits that we discover the urgency to cherish every second. To time, I dedicate this story as both a plea and a love letter: a plea to slow down, and a reminder that even when you rush us forward, we will always find ways to carve meaning in the days you give.
To the ones who taught me about love in its rawest forms—whether through joy, heartbreak, or loss—this is for you. To the people I once held close, to the people who stayed, to the people who left without warning. You have all shaped me into a storyteller who knows that endings aren't always failures; sometimes, they're beginnings in disguise.
And to the silent companions, the strangers who touched my life in fleeting ways: thank you. You showed me that not every love story needs to last forever to be real. Some exist only in moments, in glances, in words unspoken—and still, they remain.
Finally, this is for you, dear reader, if you've ever questioned whether love is worth it. If you've ever stood at the edge of a decision and wondered if the pain of goodbye would outweigh the beauty of having loved at all. Let this story be your answer. Let it remind you that love—no matter how brief, no matter how fragile—is always worth it. Because in love, there are no wasted days. There are only days lived fully, and days we wish we had dared to live.
