Just believe

Dazed

In a stupor

Boots meets Derek

And I am in cloud 9

12:20pm to 5:40pm 

Together for 6 hours or so

Another trip today

He was the one who offered

Is this really happening?

Hit by lightning

I saw the bat

Indeed

The saddest words are those that say "it might have been."

I wait for the silver lining. But what if there is none. 

How much I wanted to

Typhoon

I will follow

Square One

It was a surprise twist to an otherwise crazy day. You could not come because you suddenly became sick. Your colleague was so mad because you stood me up. You called me just to explain. It took so long to appease her. And now, we are back to square one. 

Ready when you are

I was always worried that I had destroyed your life to such great extent that you may never recover. But seing you today made me realize you were resilient. I knew you still loved me. And maybe I still loved you. But I was now strong enough to say no. And elated to find out that time will heal the wound I caused in your heart. The 2 hugs we gave were of such finality. I knew you would be okay. And knowing that will allow me to open my heart to another. Though uncertain, it is something that I feel will be my future. I am afraid of venturing out in the open. What if he was not what I thought he was? Was he a good person? But I knew in my heart that God always protected me in ways that I never saw only until the end. I am ready to fight for love that is true and real, a love to last for all eternity under God's watch. I wait with bated breath. 

Mason

You stood in front of me

A little tyke barely 22 months old

With your huge round eyes that seemed like bottomless pools

And hair just like "Astro"

You gave me the "beautiful eyes" repeatedly

I had to ask maybe you are too young to know how to wink

Maila kept on singing rhymes

Jay kept on giving high fives and fist bumps

You kept on reacting and touching me

You kept on dancing

We kept on joking you were hitting on me

But you never left my side

You amused me to high heavens 

It was a spectacle to behold

Made me even all the more wish I had one of my own

It felt strange and wonderful at the same time

You took my hand and led me to the door

How I wish I could have said a proper goodbye

Only to realise during the night and the day after that it was the Little Child

I suddenly became scared

I was so privileged

My mother was awed

I am ever so grateful to have witnessed 

The happiness is of such power that it has provided me with such faith and hope

Thank you Lord

I am humbled.

Your words

I don't know what to do without you Grace.

Again

I do not want to be an almost

Of Escalators

I arrived ahead

Caffe americano for me

You were late for a few minutes

Gave me a hug and a buss on the cheek

Carrot muffin and chocolate chip macadamia cookie both without cream

We didn't want to get fat

Brewed coffee for you

It was as if we never stopped

There were some empty spaces 

When I could have interjected but no

My courage failed me

The rapport was there still

We talked about everything and anything

Clumsy me I spilled my coffee twice

And twice you attempted to close the lid 

RL Blue shirt with rubber shoes for you

I was in lavender

I stared at your face. You looked thinner.

You said I looked pretty. Right.

We then moved out and the escalator was not working

We talked about the China incident

You took me to the Marketplace

I was thinking he just wants to show me

But you wanted to eat and so we got a frankfurter and a cheesy hungarian sausage

The pepper was to sharp

You finished yours quickly

Your mom called and you talked in your language

I knew it was time to go

We proceeded to the car 

You told the Ayala agent you only can afford DMCI and I laughed

We saw the escalator shaft and thought  of what happened in China, similar to a meat grinder

You regaled me with your mother's experience in Harrison Plaza when you were very young. 

We got into the car. It was really clean inside.

There was no traffic. I wish there was.

We bade our goodbyes.

You hugged me and gave me a buss. 

And my water bottle! 

I texted you after. With a statement as to how I felt.

You did not ghost me. You said you had a great time. And you loved the donuts. 

For now, we can be friends. 

But I definitely want more. 

Will you be the title?
