February 14th

It was the wee hours of the night. I was lying down in bed. Having the cool breeze of the air-con, it was a comfortable place to doze of to Dream Land, however I couldn't get that sleep. I was tossing and turning...  I was browsing my mobile, surfed the net, and tried to figure out my old webpage account, and amidst that,  I somehow re-activated it, and found these lovely photos.  Speaking of the pictures,  it was somewhere 2000-2002, were HD copies were not yet concise

These were taken on a Valentines Day.  I organized somehow to ask my Uncles to wear red,  I made a simple pasta, and some canape's, It was just an ordinary day, but I want to remember that these were parts of our family

It was a mixture of pain and happiness when I saw these.  I remembered our old ancestral home.  It was one of the days of my existence here on earth.  I miss them.  My Grandma Mama Ba, as we call her.  Whenever I close my eyes,  I can feel her warm embrace,  I can still hear her soft sweet voice, and every time we talked,  I know that up and wherever she is now, she misses me too.  It hurts every single moment that I thought that she was just there in Manila, but then I always figured that she is already gone... The tears that kept flowing in my eyes seemed so hard to erase... like the memory of her face...

I miss the way you scold me, the way you laugh, the way you cook, the way you fixed my stuff, the clothes in my cabinet are always so tidy,  I miss your smell, the touch of your hands in my hair,  I just miss you each and every single day, ever since you went away.  I dont know how to stop crying and weeping whenever I think of you,  I know that these are repressed feelings when you left me.

This past few months,  I feel so alone,  please Mama Ba, wherever you are, kindly help and guide me, as I am now so desperately sad, lonely, and helpless.  I wish there is a hotline in heaven, wherein I can just give you even a minutes of call, to ask how are you doing,  and tell you how is my day like.  I dont really know if you see us, especially me everyday,  cause if you do, can you please give me a hug, because I badly needed that now.

I hate how life turned out ever since you were gone.  I miss our life back then, when everything are all in place.  The sound of the old house, and the people inside of it are still here in my memory.

I love you each and every single moment of my life.

I miss you every time I remember your name.

I hope that someday, we will meet again, and tell you how life is on earth from the day that you left...

What if...

What if I live a hundred years? Will you be still there for me? Was I really the one that you love?

What if you found somebody new? What will I ever do?

What if you found out that I don't love you anymore? Will you ever forgive me?

What if my life was different as today? Will you still give the courage to love me, even if I was in love with someone?

What if the water runs dry? Will you still be there to catch me whenever I fall?

What if you fail to see me, will you still ever call my name?

What if the world ends with you beside me? Will you ever hold my hand or let it go?

And what if you & I never met? Will your life be as wonderful as you have right now?

What if I die & you never found out? Will you still love me for the rest of your life?

So much to say, yet time & words sometimes run dry...

IN MEMORIAM OF YOU

These past few months... weeks... I remembered your name... your face.  I tried searching for you online but I couldn't find you.  Last night it occurred to me again. So, I kept searching for any link that may lead to you.

I found a person that I have known in the past, he is no stranger to me, which is your cousin.  I was just skim-browsing his profile, and one photo that he posted captured my eye, and BOOM! It was a photo of the sky, with some caption; my heart was throbbing, tremulous that it shouldn’t be real. And then, and there, read the comments... It was confirmed!  You are gone!  I was in total consternation and shocked at the very second that I saw it. 

I couldn’t grasp my breath.  I stood up... walked... sat... lay down again... stood up... drank a glass of water, trying to process the very thought that you were gone.  I looked and read again if it was really true. 

Yes, it is... you have departed... demised… gone... for good... and for real...

I cried a river when you left me.  I must pick up myself. I fell for you for a million years.  Your image still haunts me.  I loved you, and you loved me, that love was unparalleled.  It was so true.  I can’t believe that you are no longer here on Earth.
  
When we parted ways, it took me quite some time to move on...  I did... the hurt was gone...  but every single night I was crying... crying myself to sleep.
  
I reminisced all the good times that we shared.  The very first time that I met you, I was scared; I wasn’t ready for that relationship because I was still mending and nursing a broken heart then.  You were never half of the person that I used to love, but still, I gave you a chance to prove that you are worthy...  and I fall... fell… fallen gravely in love for you.  I can’t count the countless days that we shared.  You treated me like I am the most powerful person on earth; you taught so much about life, the reality, and freedom, happiness despite me having a very intricate life. 

Up to this time, whenever I have thoughts of you.  I am thankful that our paths have crossed.  You will always be in my mind, heart, and soul.

Now, it redounded back to the past hurts that you caused me.  At this instant, you are permanently gone. 

I guess I should start forgetting you again.  The heartbreaking part was, why do I have to know that you are deceased and departed?  I am now living a happy life; I am in love with someone new right now.  I am contented.  That's a fact.  

Needless to say, people who have crossed our lives in the past, they remained there. Repressed.  I love you before, and forever you will be someone special here with me.

Image result for missing you in heavenYour memoirs and image will remain buried in my soul.  I am so sorry for all the hurt and pain that I caused you.  Now, you will know the truth.  It was only you and no one else during our time.  You must have regretted that.  Now, you can say to yourself that I am true to you.  I know you are here at this very minute,  I can feel your presence.  You must rest now.  I will be fine.

Please guide me with whatever I do.  I am proud of all your accomplishments, remember that.  I always will.  

Thank you for everything...  Till we meet again...
