It was the 146th time that the telephone rang, its incessant tone a familiar and unwelcome sound. The thought of reliving the same decades once again was exhausting, and the endless repetition left you feeling worn out. As you picked up the phone, Lucas called out for you on the other end. "My love?" he whispers through the phone. "Another cycle, huh?" Hearing his Your heart ached with the weight of endless repetition, each ring of the telephone giving you a bitter reminder of the cycle you both were trapped in.

Time has been constantly toying with your existence. Every time one of you dies, time hits the reset button, taking you back to the first day of your relationship when Lucas confessed his love to you through a telephone call. While the idea of spending eternity with him was something you cherished, the time loop had become a source of mental exhaustion. You wanted to rest in peace, not blink and reset.

This was a familiar routine for you now; the initial phone call, followed by the decision to meet up in a nearby cafe, settling into a table with your usual orders already laid out. The number of times you had followed this pattern was nearly uncountable. Cafes, restaurants, parks, or anywhere you two could think of. Lucas set his freshly brewed, steaming cup of coffee down on the table and observed you with a slight frown, "Is there something weighing on your mind, my love?"

As much as you love hearing Lucas' voice through the phone, excited to spend another lifetime with you, you wanted to break free of this endless resets. If loving each other had initially triggered this loop, then perhaps letting go this relationship would be the key to ending it.

Ikaw parin ang pipiliin at mahalin sa susunod na habang buhay. ~ You are still the one I will choose to love in the next lifetime.
