Ben&Ben - The Ones We Once Loved | Official Music Video

To all those who’s going thru hardship right now, if you feel like the pain will never ever go away, remember that you gotta move forward. You may want to forget everything however that will never happen as it is already part of you. But bring the lesson with you and the memories. There will be days you will look back and you will smile, because at one chapter of your life, you were happy with him. It will be a long journey of pain, healing and acceptance. But at the end, it is the pain that makes us stronger. May we find reason to get up again, and keep moving forward.

In our five years, I really did think that a Ben&Ben song would eventually be our wedding song. Little did I know that this band would give us our closure song instead. I still grieve everyday on the fact that we can’t be present in each other’s lives anymore but I also know that that’s the price I have to pay for walking away. And as the song said, “sometimes it is the best thing to do.” Sending hugs to everyone still piecing themselves back together. Healing is not a linear process but we’ll get there for sure. 💕

How did our Araw-araw turned into The Ones we Once loved? Imy.

i personally think that this song applies not only in romantic relationships but could also be in platonic relationships. listening to this while having someone in mind made me reminisce what we've once had as friends, and just like in the song-- they're the ones we once loved.

For those who still can't move forward, take your time. Time heals. Move at your own phase. Time will come where you'll be ok. And for those who are still going through tough time, sending you all some Virtual Hugs. 🤗

My girlfriend for almost five years broke up with me the day before this song was released. She was my first girlfriend and so it was also the first breakup I had in my life. When I first heard the song, it felt like she was speaking to me. Every word fits perfectly to how I think she must have felt all along. This song was her side of the story. It's not "to the one I once loved", it is for me "to the one I still love". So to the one I still love, I know how much you wanted to see me reach for my dream as you were there when I started dreaming. I am sorry if you felt that I have been cutting your wings while you were building mine. I am sorry for failing to realize that you have dreams of your own. But know that all the dreams I have now is no longer for myself, they are all my preparations for the future I am working for us. I am sorry I was too focused on the future, I might have failed to make you feel my love in the present. Thank you for staying by my side even in the days when you can no longer stand me. Thank you for being very patient with me. Thank you for the countless chances you have given. Thank you for everything you have done for me. Thank you for all the love you have given. But this is not yet the end of the story for us. I will continously and persistently make you feel the love that you truly deserve. Thank you for giving me this one more chance to at least make up for the things I failed to do and to correct the things I might have done much. I hope the seasons would still reveal that we really are meant to be. I love you. I still love you. And I guess I will love you even more after all these. I will make myself better for you. So goodbye to the one I once was. 💗

Isang mahigpit na yakap para sa mga taong nagpatawad kahit na hindi naman hiningi sa kanila. You are one brave human being. Hayaan mo, magiging masaya ka din.

We were together for 7 years then we broke up 5 months ago. When I saw this song, I knew na kailangan ko ‘to pakinggan. This feels like my I wrote the song, like I’m listening to my own story. “Since the beginning I never wanted anything but to see you reach your dreams, I knew that you just wanted me. But I had dreams of my own and I couldn’t just let them go” — I supported you, I believed in you pero naubos na ‘ko. We both know how much responsibilities I already have at sobrang walang wala na’ko, I had to save myself, To save you. I’m sorry na nasaktan kita, na hindi ko natupad yung promise naten sa isa’t-isa, I never thought na, us in separate ways is something na kakailanganin ko para makahinga. Up to now, I still feel undeserving of being happy lalo pag naiisip ko na you’re still hurting, but I have to move forward and to make up for myself about everything that I have to deprive myself just to support and be there for you. I still miss you, but the peace that I have now made me realized that it is worth everything that I’ve lost— that maybe, this is really for the betterment of us as individuals . I wish you all the best and I am still hoping na someday mapatawad mo din ako for hurting you. Even from afar, I’ll still support you. You’ll always have a special place in my heart. I hope na someday maabot mo, naten yung mga pangarap na binuo naten. Hindi man magkasama, pero ang importante magawa naten. Ngayon pa lang gusto ko lang malaman mo na, I’ll always be proud of you. Padayon lang. Salamat sa lahat ng pagmamahal, at sa panahon na pinagsamahan naten. Thank you and take care, Yat. 🤍

Nawa'y 'wag mapagod ang pusong magmahal muli. Hugs for all of those who need healing. Sarili mo muna ngayon, ha? You deserve happiness. You deserve love.

bukod sa tanong na "Did it ever cross your mind that maybe you hurt me too?" meron pang isang tanong na "how you became so happy after ruining my life?".

the apology that i never had, you're happy with the girl you replaced to me just a week while I'm still here learning to love myself again and scared trusting people again.

Couples who broke up even though they still love each other are one of the bravest.

Wow! Ang brave nyo naman bumida sa MV na to! I guess this just proves na me closure na nga kayo pareho. May you both find happiness in your respective lives!

i know for a fact that no closure is already a closure. i just can't stop but lowkey hope for him to explain, for him to tell me the truth. your song gave me the closure i've always wanted. and with that, thank you so much, Ben&Ben 💙💛

philipine musicians are so much talented than i thought before! greetings from indonesia🫡

This is the gift of music. Yung kahit di naman siya nagsorry sa lahat ng pain but when I listened to the song, i felt like this is what he wanted to say and I felt light after. Minsan kasi, ang gusto lang ng iba ay humingi sila ng kapatawaran at sabihin na hindi talaga kayo para sa isa’t isa.

ben and ben really said "mahilig kaming manakit, pero dapat in english."

Me and my ex should be watching this together. But unfortunately, earlier this morning, we had our final closure. She chose her new lover, and I respect her decision. But in fact, I want her to choose me. I guess we're each other's lesson, and we are never meant to stay. Thank you Ben&Ben, for the music and the story you shared. Love you!

This song probably means that “ It’s better to let go than to force a relationship that doesn’t work anymore “ it’s for the people who choose their own happiness. CHEERS TO THOSE PERSON WHO LET GO FOR THEIR OWN GOOD!🥰

grabe na kayo ben&ben. lagi na lang kayong may kanta applicable sa lahat ng season ng buhay
