🎶 I'd rather know if you had turned the page
If you go faster than I do
Suddenly it's not so clear just what I am to you
Am I friend, am I lover, do we still need each other
When you touch me, when you touch me baby I can tell

What do we mean to each other, am I friend, am I lover is it over now
If this is it then why bother tell me where do we take it from here
What do we mean to each other am I friend ,am I lover, is it over now
Do you love me still or do you just mean well 🎶

"I can say, that I am both—your friend and your lover...good morning, love."

"Jusko! Ricardo, maaga akong mamamatay sa'yo wag kang manggulat!"

"Eh, daya mo, iniwan mo ako sa kama, sa pagkakaalam ko, I am more of a morning person than you..."

"You know, what love, I think I love mornings now...kanina I was able to see the first ray of the sun, I was sooo happy, don't get me wrong, of course, I am not happy with how these CQ is going and us being stuck here—pero, yong feeling na you are stuck with the right person—ang sarap sa pakiramdam, kahit siguro magunaw na ang mundo, or last day na ng mundo—so blessed I am here with you, RJ."

"Mukha ngang iba ang influence ng mornings sa'yo, nagiging deep ang usapan natin, maliban sa isa pang deep na gusto ko..."

"Hahaha, RJ! You're such a pervert! Umagang umaga ha, sinangag? Okay lang ba to sa'yo?"

"Mas masarap ka pa sa sinangag, love..."

"Hahaha syempre, ako yon, RJ, ako! Okay?"

"I dare you to do that in public, yong magnakaw ka ng halik!"

"Hahahaha, wag ako, RJ..."

"Wag ka na magnakaw, just ask, ibibigay ko ng kusa, dali na."

"..."

"..."

"Good morning, husband, mas masarap ka pa sa kape."

"Hahahahaha sarap naman. Can I be stuck with you forever, love."

"You already are, RJ. I love you. You sit down na breakfast na tayo."

"I love you more, Misis."

"Teka, paki kuha nalang ng kape, love please."

"Of course."

"Ano? E washing machine nalang natin to?"

"Gusto ko maglaba sa kamay, RJ, game ka?"

"Magsusugat yang kamay mo Meng."

"Please...I wanna learn, love."

"Oo naman, sige, mas malinis naman din kasi ang result ng laba sa kamay kaysa washing machine."

"Naglalaba ka ba noon, love?"

"Yes, lahat ng household chores pina experienced sa akin ni Lola, wala naman din kaming katulong, especially nong si Mommy nagkasakit na."

"How is it growing up with a Lola and Lolo, love?"

"Masarap mag alaga ang mga grandparents, love. Mas naging close ako sa kanila nong wala na si Mommy, syempre si Daddy need to work din."
