Is happiness of reckless abandon worthwhile if in the process it destroys?
Is the thrill of wanton obsession fulfilling if in the process it jeopardizes?
Is the high from dangerous liaisons satisfying if in the process it breaks?
Why is it that such temporary bliss blinds even the most stable person?
Why is it that obviously irresponsible acts derail focused individuals?
Why is it that what is forbidden so tempting for the regular Adam?
Even if lives depended on it
Even if careers lie on the line
Even if futures clearly gloom
I am curious. I’d like to know
when you meet the one
... who makes you smile for no reason at all
... who makes you think that every love song is about you
... who makes you not mind losing sleep so you can spend hours talking
... who makes you wish to get stuck in horrible traffic with so you'll have more time together
... who makes you want to be a better person inside out
... who makes you want to believe in love again
... who makes you believe that there is a God who answers prayers
Will you take that leap of faith and say it??
As I logged on my heart skipped a beat.
You are online!
I said hi and held my breath until you replied.
And then you called. It surprised me how a decade never erased the memory of the sound of your voice.
My hands went cold. My heart started to race. I felt butterflies in my stomach.
I am twenty something again. Naive and trusting.
Mem'ries came flashing in front of me like scenes from a cheesy love story.
And then i snapped back to reality. Consciously berated myself to get a grip.
I should be old, wiser and in control.
But then, I am not leaving this moment until i said these:
Thank you...
.... for the love of music you introduced to me. because of you, i learned that the radio dial is capable of switching to an FM station. Until you, i was content to listen to the news and political analysts on AM.
.... for making me see that there is a blessing in heavy traffic. It must have been hell for your legs turtling the lengths of the south luzon tollway. But for me, it was a treat. As it let me spend longer time with you then.
.... for the long drives we took, albeit very few. I had the appreciation of the country side and i think because of that, i discovered that i love to travel.
.... for the long conversations. I loved the banter and the wisdom you freely shared. You may not totally lowered your guards around me, but i had a peek at your sensitivity and wit. You truly are an intelligent human being.
.... for allowing me to spread my wings. I may not have flown to the direction you intended, but i am starting to pick up the pieces. I am rediscovering and pursuing my passions and enjoying my life right now.
You are a part of my history. I'd like to keep your friendship and so, I apologize if i have hurt you in anyway.
Now, my hands are warm, my heartbeat steady and my stomach is calm. I am enveloped by the tranquility of finding you again. I hope you keep in touch.
