-Who will view your being lonesome as independence;
-Who will not mind the way you look regardless if you don't have your make-up on.
-One knows it is you walking down the street even from the farthest distance;
-Who will be brave to lay his cards despite the possibility of an impending judgement.
-Who will compliment your hairstyle, not because it was a product of a break up but because it suits you.
There will always be one guy...
-Who will go the extra mile for you; even if he could prefer the easiest, simplest way which is of his convenience.
-Who will regard you with the way you use stock knowledge.
-Who knows how to use "good morning" in making your whole day REALLY bright and wonderful.
-Whose voice and laughter is like a song you would love to play in your heart and in your head over and over again.
Who can describe love in four, powerful words --
IT IS A GIFT.
And there will come a time, that you will find yourself including this one particular guy in your prayer -- that he be spared from hurt and the evil perils of the world; that he will always be safe and guided by the Light.
But mostly, that this guy would always be happy and that he would eventually have your heart.
Calling it a night after meeting a friend over post-work snacks and stories weeks ago:
FLICKERLIGHT: Ihahatid na kita sa inyo ha?
ME: Dyan? (pointing to his motorcycle)
FLICKERLIGHT: Oo.
ME: Ay, it's okay. I'll commute na lang. I can manage.
FLICKERLIGHT: Ano ka ba? Single ka na ngayon. Wala nang magseselos kahit makita tayong magkasama.
Okay. He has a point. :-D And I had to throw a split-second "what did he say?" stare.
In the end, still insisted on my decision of commuting as I have fears of riding a motorcycle; much more doing it without a helmet. But whenever I recall this incident, I can't help but shake my head in funny disbelief. And I will not be ashamed to say that I liked how he looked as he waved goodbye, and the way he steadily glanced at my direction as the trike whisked me away to bring me home.
Call it dreamy, even such a scene from your usual sappy movie. But in my own words, seeing him like that moved me.
