He never said a word, until that night... Everybody felt alive that day, everybody seemed to be excited on that day's event. There was a slight chill in the winds, but the everybody didn't seem to mind it. I too, was excited of what was going to happen that day. It was our christmas party, the highlight of the school year. I wanted to know what's it like celebrating christmas with new friends and new school. Everybody was talking about it, they were saying that the event was the most awaited event of all students, especially the lovers. They were starting to get ready for the night, except for one person. He pulled his armchair beside the window and sat on it. He looked at the mountains outside, without a single word coming out of his mouth. He didn't care about the hassles that were happening around. He just sat there, as if thinking of something. He picked up his guitar and started playing the song that he made. It was wonderful. He played it like he was in love with the music. He sang it with all his heart. Slowly, I sat beside him, listened to the melody that he plays. "What are you doing?", I asked. He just smiled as he said, "Nothing, I was just practicing a song." He put the guitar down very slowly and stood up as he said, "Come on, we have to practice. We're going to play for the night's event right?" I smiled and agreed. So we went on our way. The day seemed to pass by so quickly, the sun immediately made way for the moon. I went to the school early that time so I could set up the instruments needed for the program. I was with my classmate that moment, but he was quiet once again, never uttered any single word. He just looked at the stillness of space as he was tuning the guitars. Sweat fell down from his forehead, and his hands were shaking. I could hear his heartbeat from across the room. I could tell from his actions that he was thinking of something. He wiped down the sweat, stood up and freshen up a bit. "I guess we're all set. Are you ready?" He said with a smile on his face. He showed a smile, but his eyes showed his true feelings. I could feel that there's something he wanted me to do. But I didn't know what. And then it happened. Lights filled the auditorium as the people danced their spirits all night. They all looked very happy and lively, but I was right at the stage, holding a guitar. I looked at them with pure envy as they asked me to join them. I couldn't, for it was already time for our performance. I stood up as he walked to the centerstage. He held his guitar and went to the microphone. It made a very disturbing feedback, everyone just laughed. "Sorry about that." He said, with the same smile on his face. He looked at me and gave me a signal. I agreed with a nod. "This one's for the couples here tonight. Let's make this night last forever shall we? How about we fill the auditorium with love?" The people shouted, and slowly the noise faded as he plucked the guitar. He had a good singing voice, just right for making the girls fall for him. He could hypnotize everyone with the melodies that were coming out of his vocal chord. The room immediately filled with trance. I could see the people, each with a partner. I could feel the love that time. I looked at him as he continued to sing. Suddenly, he stopped after he sang the refrain, but he signaled us to continue playing. And so we did. Everyone didn't seem to notice that he stopped, probably because they were happy dancing on their own worlds. He put the guitar down and walked fast through the door. He didn't stop until he was covered with darkness. We wondered, but still we continued to play his song. After a while, he entered the room again, but this time, he was not alone. He was with a beautiful lady, looking a bit speechless and clueless of what was going on. I smiled, for I knew what he wanted me to do that time. Everybody stopped for a while as they noticed him entering the room. He smiled at me as I handed him the microphone. He portrayed a different person that night. The quiet, mysterious leader of the band, became a person filled with hope and love. "Shall we dance?" he said with the microphone on. Tears fell from the young lady's eyes as she wrapped her arms around her partner. We continued to play, but now, he was singing on the tune again. The serenade awed the whole place. We watched them right there at the center stage as they danced their way through the hands of time. I stared at the stillness of space as I wondered... "When will be my time?.."

He whispered at the wind... The translucent drops of hail fell down upon the land as he looked up upon the glory of the night sky. He longed for a sweet embrace all those time for he always felt the chill, and the loneliness of being alone. For a long time, he had no companion. He asked for a miracle every moment of his life. A miracle that he thought, will never ever happen. One night, as he sat under the cradle of the moonlight. He noticed the most brightest star, hanging on upon the vastness of the universe. He looked at it with pure amusement. But still he wished that he could look at it with someone by his side. His face marked a sign of sadness as the cold winds carried him up to the night sky. He closed his eyes for a bit, he opened his heart as he listened to the whispers of the wind. They made soft voices that formed words. Words that seemed to call upon his lonely heart. He heard hope upon those voices. "Someday, everything will be ok..." He slowly opened his eyes, for he felt a very strange warmth. Then, he noticed the brightest star in front of him. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. But then as the star shone more brighter, it blinded his vulnerable eyes. He couldn't see anything but a white light. Then all of a sudden, it exploded into millions and millions of pieces. Slowly, he opened his eyes. He was enthralled by what he saw. A tear fell from his eye and a smile marked upon his lips. His prayers were heard, his wishes came true. As tears continued to fall upon his eyes, he felt a soft caress. Warmth filled up upon his heart and body as he listened again to the soft whispers. "I'm here now, do not be afraid..." He felt a soft kiss on his cheek, then he looked at her. She was very beautiful. Her eyes were as bright as the stars. He never felt this alive before. After a long time, he was happy once more. Happy as he could ever be. "You are never alone, always remember that..." Then she slowly flew away from him. He tried to reach her but then she was too far away. He couldn't move a single muscle. He felt like he was paralyzed as the winds slowly took him back to the ground. As soon as his feet planted upon the soil, he then again, looked at the night sky. He watched her slowly leaving his sight. She smiled upon him as she again, shone for him. He felt hope. He knew that someday, they will meet again. But until then, he waited as he whispered..." "I know we're far away... But trust me, I'll find a way just to get there!"

She held the coin as if it was the last coin on earth... The sun was about to set that day, another tiring day ended and I was about to go home. I rushed down the waiting shed to find a decent and cold FX so I could get some short shut eye. Fate had been good to me, for I immediately found what I was looking for. I signaled the FX, it never ignored my call. I entered the vehicle and paid the fare. Then the driver gave me three 5 peso coins as change, leaving him only bills on his treasury. Then I took out my snack, the usual chocolate I buy from a convience store. The vehicle stopped at the nearest overpass, probably because of the building traffic. My chocolate was already in half when someone knocked at the door. There was someone outside, struggling to get in. She was unable to open the door for she had no hands to use. She held a thick book on a hand and a handbag on the other. So I never hesitated to help her out. I opened the door, and let her in until she was comfy on her seat. She smiled at me and said in a soft manner "Thank you". I smiled as I looked into her eyes. She wore a white clinical uniform, with a black sweater. There was no buttons on her sweater so a safety pin held it close together. She had thick eyeglasses and wore a cute smile. I couldn't stop looking at her. My eyes couldn't hold it anymore, I was really tired back then, I really need the sleep. But then I woke up when she said "Here's my fair". She passed on a 50 peso bill. As the driver received the money, he had a disappointed look on his face. He doesn't have coins to complete her change. He scratched his head as he said "Ma'am, do you have a 5 peso coin?". "Wait a second," She answered. She searched her coin purse, until she realized, she didn't have any. "Sir, I don't have a 5 peso coin" she said. The driver scratched his head again. "I do", those words immediately came out of my mouth. I couldn't help it. She looked at me with the worried look on her face. She tried to stop me but nevertheless, I didn't falter. I passed on my change. She blushed as she said "Thanks". "But I don't have any coins here, I can't pay you back." Worriedly she said. "No no no, keep it. You can pay me back when we meet again ok?" I answered. She smiled and agreed. I giggled softly and offered her a piece of my chocolate. She accepted it with a cute smile on her face. After that, I did my usual rest while riding an FX. Before I fell into a deep slumber, I opened my eyes slightly and looked at her for a bit. She was looking at me, blushing. I woke up as I felt the vehicle slowly approaches at our destination. She fixed her things and held her handbag, I too did the same thing. The FX stopped at the terminal, I opened the door for her. "Promise I'll pay you back." She said as she slowly departed the vehicle. "Sure, I'll wait for that day." I answered. She smiled and went on. I looked at her as she faded unto the horizon, and I too carried on with a sign of joy written on my face. Labels: Fantasy, FX Memories, Stories from the heart

She's everything I've ever wanted... He knelt on the soft grass as he counted every tear falling from the windows of his broken soul. He looked at the darkness of the night sky, as he noticed the moon, slowly fading out as it hides behind the rainclouds. They played under the bright sun, but it was rainy on his side. He looked at them from afar. Pure envy filled up upon his soul, his heart, then his mind. But whenever he tried to do something, a part of him says no. He couldn't do anything for he doesn't have the right. He sought for his sanctuary to let out all the hatred hidden upon his heart. Secretly, she looked upon him. Her eyes were filled with pity. She tried to talk to him but she was afraid. So, she never moved a muscle. Paralyzed, as if somebody's preventing her from doing anything. She looked at the other side of her life and went on with it, leaving him alone on that same spot. He tried to catch every falling tear from his eyes. "Nothing will happen if I won't do anything." He shouted on his thoughts. But what can he do? He wondered. He asked the heavens for answers. He closed his eyes as he wished upon the first night star. She took another glimpse of him. She really wanted to go closer to him, but still she couldn't do anything. All she could ever do was to look at him from afar. She waited, waited, and waited some more. Slowly, he stood up. He left his sanctuary to seek for freedom. Freedom from all the sadness and the hatred. He took a deep breath and went on to his only quest: To win back her heart once more. The rainclouds faded as the sunlight burst upon the dark clouds. He gathered all the strength from the heavens. She watched him as she waited anxiously beneath her own sanctuary. She felt hope, slowly filling up her empty words. A sign of happiness lingered on her lips as a tear fell from her eye. Her thoughts followed him around, as if she was drawing him closer to her. They both held the Fate's Dagger and thrusted it on the wall that torn them apart. Their eyes met once more. No words can be heard upon their lips, but anyone could sense the whispers of their souls. Fate has brought them together once more. He thought that it will last forever, but he was wrong. She tried to send her message through her eyes. She couldn't move a muscle once more. Darkness slowly drifted her away. He tried to reach for her hand but he failed. He knelt down, paralyzed. Then he heard a voice upon the fading darkness... "Free me..."

He turned his back on her as his eyes filled with tears... Ngumiti siya panandalian, ngunit hindi pa rin niya maitago ang kalungkutang nasa kanyang puso. Tumitig lamang siya sa kawalan habang hawak ang kanyang malalambot na mga kamay... Malumanay niyang hinaplos ang kanyang malambot at mahabang buhok, dagliang pagkalma ng kalooban ang kanyang naramdaman sa mga oras na yaon. Hindi rin maitago sa kanyang mukha ang bakas ng kaligayahang minsan na ring naipagkait sa kanya. Tinitigan niya ang kanyang mga mata sabay na pagbulong ng kanyang mga nadarama. Ngumiti lamang ang dalaga, pero pansin ang pagkamanhid sa kanyang reaksyon. Napansin ito ng binata, kaya't unti unting humahapyaw ang kaligayahan na nadarama. Humiga silang dalawa upang pagmasdan ang bughaw na kalangitan. Hinawakan ng binata ang kanyang kamay. Mahigpit ang pagkakapit niya dito, ngunit ang dalaga'y hindi man lang kumapit pabalik. Nawala ang paningin ng binata, puro kawalan ang lumabas na imahe sa kanyang utak. Wala na siyang naramdaman. Unti unti siyang kumalas mula sa pagkakahawak niya sa malambot na kamay ng dalaga. "Ano na ang nangyari sa atin sinta?" Ang bulong ng binata. Napatingin sa kanya ang dalaga na may halong pagtataka sa kanyang mga mata. "Bakit? Hindi ka ba masaya na makasama ako?" Ang sagot niya. Pinikit niyang panandalian ang kanyang mga mata habang dinamdam ang malamig na simoy ng hangin. "May itatanong ako sa iyo, kung iyong mamarapatin." Tumulo ang luha sa mga mata ng dalaga, hindi niya alam kung ano ang kanyang sasabihin. Dahan dahan siyang tumayo at sumunod naman ang binata. Tinitigan niya ito sa mga mata. "Hindi ko alam... Hindi ko alam..." Napatigil ang binata sa kanyang pag hinga. Dalian namang tumulo ang kanyang mga luha. Hindi siya makapag salita, hindi siya makagalaw. Tinalikuran niya ang dalaga upang hindi makita ang pagtulog ng kanyang mga luha. Naramdaman niyang dahan dahang sumandal ang dalaga sa kanyang likuran at hinawakan ang kanyang nanginginig na mga kamay. "Kahit anong mangyari, nandito lang naman ako diba?" Pero nagtataka pa rin ang binata, kahit gaano kasakit ang nararamdaman niya, hindi pa rin niya lubos maitago na mahal pa rin niya ang dalaga. Pinilit niyang maging masaya, pinilit niyang ngumiti. Ngunit, hindi nga iyon ganoon kadali. Tumingala siya sa kalangitan. "Bahala na" ang tanging sinisigaw. Hindi niya akalaing sa sariling paraiso pa niya mag tatapos ang lahat. Malungkot niyang hinarap ang dalaga, at sabay na pag lisan niya sa kanilang nawalang paraiso...

Nang minsang mag heart to heart kami... "O, ano na? Tuloy ba lakad natin?" ang nakangiting tanong ng aming driver. "Hindi ko alam kuya eh, kasi mag out of town daw sila." Tinignan lang niya ako na tila'y tinatawanan, tinapik niya lang ako sa balik at sinabing ayos lang yan, may panahon pa, matutuloy din tayo. Ginising ng malakas na hiyaw ng sasakyan ang aming tahanan, dalian akong lumabas ng bahay para pumunta na sa sasakyan. Miyerkules nanaman, dadalo pa pala kami sa isang paligsahan sa bowling. Pag sakay ko sa passenger seat, sinalubong ako ng ngiti ng aming drayber at sabay sabi ng tara na. Naging matagal ang biyahe, maulan at sobrang dikit na ang mga sasakyan. Bumper to bumper ika nga. Masyadong tahimik ang paligid, pero agad naman niyang binasag ang katahimikan. "O kumusta na kayo?" ang tanong niya. "Ayos naman, ganun pa rin" sagot ko na may kasamang mahinang tawa. Napatawa lang siya at napatahimik sandali, mukhang malalim ang kanyang iniisip. Muli nanaman niyang binasag ang katahimikan nang bigla siyang mag kwento. At siyempre, bukas ang dalawa kong tenga at nakinig sa kanyang payo.

May naririnig akong bagong awitin... Sumikat ang matinding sinag ng araw sa kanyang mga mata isang umaga. Hindi na siya nagkaroon ng limang minuto upang mahimbing panandalian. Tumayo siyang bakas ang kalungkutan na naiwan ng madilim na kahapon, sabay pag pungay ng mga mata at pag tanggal ng katamaran sa katawan. Kay ganda ng araw na yaon, ngunit hindi maganda ang kanyang gising. Pinilit niyang aliwin ang sarili niya upang mawala ang lumbay na nararamdaman. Pumunta siya kung saan saan para lang mamasyal. Ngunit nagkamali pala siya sa kanyang ginawa. Imbis na lumigaya ang kanyang puso, lalo pa itong nalungkot. Sapagkat saan man siya tumingin, naroon at may nakikita siyang mga magkasintahang magkahawak ang kamay. Tila kanila ang mundo, ang oras ay humihinto habang ang kanilang mga mata'y nagkakatagpo. Pinilit niyang ngumiti at maging masaya sa mga nakikita niya, pero hindi lang pala iyon ganoon kadali. Tumingala na lamang siya sa kalangitan upang kahit papano'y mapawi ang lungkot na nadarama. Hindi naging matagumpay ang kanyang paglalakbay. Umuwi siyang luhaan, ni hindi man lang bumabakas sa kanyang mga mata ang ni isang katiting na tuwa. Pagal, sira, siya'y umupo panandalian. Tumingala siya sa buwan upang manalangin. Nagbilang ng mga nalalaglag na tala sa kalangitan at iniipon ang mga hiling sa kanyang kaisipan. Hindi na niya alam ang gagawin niya sa buhay niya. Minsan, naiisipan niyang itigil na ang kalokohang ito. Minsan, gusto na niyang itigil na ang kanyang buhay. Pero hindi niya alam kung anong mangyayari kapag ginawa niya ito. Naguguluhan, nasisiraan ng ulo, nawawala sa sarili. Muli nanaman siyang lumuha, naglabas ng sama ng loob sa pamamagitan ng pagkanta. Binuhos ang lahat ng nadarama, sinigaw ang lahat ng hinanain sa kalangitan. Umaasa siyang maririnig ng kanyang sinisinta ang mga hinanaing na ito. Pumikit siya panandalian, dinama ang malamig na simoy ng hangin. Sa kanyang tenga, tila sila'y umaawit ng mga himig na pilit na nagpapakalma sa kanyang kalooban. Tumigil ang mga luha, sabay na pagyakap sa kanya ng hangin. Binalot siyang muli nito sabay ng pagbulong ng "Tama na.. Tama na.." Papasok na sana siya sa kanyang silid pero sa huling segundo, napatigil siya. Naramdaman niyang tila may naghahanap sa kanya sa hindi kalayuan. Lumingon siya at may nakita siyang isang pamilyar na anino. Dalian siyang tumakbo palabas ng kanyang tahanan upang salubungin ang magandang kapalaran. Sa hindi kalayuan, nakita niya ang ngiti na kanyang hinahanap. Kahit papaano, bumakas na rin sa wakas ang katiting na ngiti na hinahangad niya. Muli nanamang tumulo ang luha mula sa kanyang mga mata. Pero naisip niya... Panghabang buhay na nga ba ang kaligayahang ito o bukas, muli nanaman itong mawawala? Panahon na naman ng pag ibig. Mas lalo siyang nagkaroon ng pagasa. Pag asang bumangon muli mula sa kadiliman Sa kanyang mga mata, kita ang pagsisikap niya. Alam kong maghihintay lamang siya, hanggan sa... Huling patak ng kanyang mga luha.

Dahil Buwan ng Wika, kailangang gunitain. Kaya ngayon, tagalog muna ako. Ang mga tala ang kanyang sandigan... Binuhay siya ng isang malakas na palo ng hangin isang umaga. Bakas pa rin sa mga mata nya ang pag likas ng kanyang mga luha noong kinagabihang yaon. Matagal din siyang nakadilat, gising na ang kanyang kaluluwa ngunit wala pa rin siyang lakas para bumangon at sumabay sa hamon ng araw. Pumikit siya panandalian at binalak na muling managinip, dahil sa panaginip lang niya nararamdaman ang tunay na pagmamahal na hinahanap niya. Pero kahit anong gawin ng binata, lagi siyang nabibigo. Sa panaginip man o sa totoong buhay. Nabuhay siya na binabalot ng maraming katanungan, ni hindi niya kilala ng lubusan ang kanyang sarili. Nabalot ng kadiliman ang kanyang puso at hindi niya alam kung ano ang tama at mali. Ngunit sa kabilang dako, ang mga katanungang ito ang nagbibigay sa kanya ng lakas upang mabuhay ng mas matagal. Sa pag tahak nya sa mga kasagutan ay hindi niya akalaing tatagal pa pala ang pamamalagi niya sa mundo. Tuwing gabi, ang mga luha ang kanyang pampatulog. Tuwing umaga, pag aalinlangang mabuhay pa ang gumigising sa kanya. Bakit nga ba naging ganito ang binata? Bakit napuno ng pangamba ang katauhan niyang minsa'y naging simbolo ng ligaya? Isa lamang ang kasagutan. Pag ibig. Ibig lamang niyang lumigaya, pero sa halip ng lahat ng ginawa niya, naubos ang lahat sa kanya. Hindi naging mabuti sa kanya ang nakakarimariw na tadhana. Pinilit niyang umadyo sa mas mataas na bato pero sa bawat hakbang na ginagawa niya, ni hindi niya matapakan ang dapat niyang tapakan. Pinilit ng binata maging masayang muli, pero kahit anong gawin niya, nahihirapan na siyang ibalik ito. Alam ko ang nararamdaman ng binatang ito. Alam kong hinahangad niya na muling mayakap ang kanyang sinisinta. Sa gabi, pilit niyang hinahanap ang mata ng kalawakan. Umaasa siya na muli siyang makakaduyan sa kandugan nito. Lumipad muli sa hangin kung saan masaya siyang kasama ang kanyang iniirog. Marahil nga ay pareho kami ng iniisip. Pareho kaming naririmariw sa dapat na maramdaman. Araw-araw, pilit ko mang mapagtanto ang katotohanan, lagi ko naman itong iniiwasan. Marahil ay iisa ang pag ibig na nararamdan namin ng binata. Pag-ibig lang ang kayang gumawa nito: ang maging masaya kasabay sa pagiging malungkot. Marahil Diyos nga lang ang nakakaalam sa tunay na rason, pero ako? Nais ko itong malaman. Gusto kong makita muli ang pag-ibig na dati'y ibinibigay niya sa akin. Pero alam kong huli na ang lahat. Hindi naman kayang ibalik ng mga luha ang mga panahong nagkasala ako sa kanya. Hindi na maibabalik ang nakaraan. Pero heto ako't patuloy pa ring umaasa. Dahil alam kong, sa kanya lamang ako liligaya... Inalay ko ang aking buhay, sa duyan ng kalawakan Hinayaang mag hilom ang mga sugat na natamo Hinanap sa mga bituwin ang tunay na sandigan Patuloy na umaasa na sana, kinabukasan... Mahal mo pa rin ako. feel ko lang magpaka makata... Habang Agosto pa, puro tagalog muna ang aking mga paskil... Isang karanasan mula sa aking kaibigan. Lagi kitang nasa aking isipan, tandaan mo yan.

I admire the way it triumphed despite of all the struggles... Leaves started to fall down on that ancient tree, along with the memories that the time left behind. Autumn is coming fast, the most lonliest season of all, at least for me. Rain falls down as the wind started to get colder and colder every second. Tis also the season where tears are most likely to fall down. There I sat in front of the window, looking at the bright sunset as it sinks on the ground. I smiled in silence as I let the time flow down my cheeks. I closed my eyes for a bit and reminisced the memories we had back then. It was also Fall when we first met. There on that same tree you stood still. Tears fell down from your cheeks like the rain pouring down on the sidewalk. You stood there, quietly and shivering from the cold winds. Immediately, I ran towards you and shared my umbrella and jacket. You looked at me with those tear-filled eyes. You shared that empty expression on your face then suddenly you moved closer and rested your head on my chest. I knew that you heard my every heartbeat. I also hoped back then that you felt what I really feel for you. But then, as seasons change. You left me behind on that same tree... Slowly, I opened my eyes. Tears fell from it as I gave out a soft sigh. I looked at that same tree and noticed a cocoon hanging from a single leaf. The cocoon fought every strong wind that Mother Nature gave out. As time passed by, seasons changed. But the cocoon was stronger than it was before. I admired it very much. Then the sun rose up once again. This time, it gave out a very attractive glow. Like it's giving me a new hope for a new day. I felt its warm embrace and the thought to try again. It smiled at me, I smiled at it too. I'm ready to face a new day. Then, from afar, I noticed the creature inside the cocoon slowly emerges. Slowly, her wings came out. The sun shared its glow upon the creature. She felt lively as she saw the morning light. Eventually, her metamorphosis was complete. She won't suffer anymore. All of her struggles are over, and she has to face another brand new start. I came out of the house to meet the butterfly and welcome her to the world. Then she initiated her first ever flight. She was very beautiful. She was one with the wind, soaring high upon the clouds. Then all of a sudden, she landed very slowly on my shoulder. She stayed there for a minute and gave me a soft and hidden kiss. Then she flew once more, carefree and happy. Tears slowly fell from my eyes... Someday, I know you'll come back to me. Just like that buttefly... Flying very happy and contented. The moment that that day comes, I'll promise that I'll give to you the happiness that you truly deserve... I won't hurt you again, and I promise that I will always be here, to share an umbrella and an embrace whenever you're feeling down. Someday... Someday. I know you'll be back. But until then, take care... I'll wait for you. I promise. Labels: Love Life, Stories from the heart

Over those teary eyes, the remaining glimmer slowly loses it's spark... She sat there quietly at the most secluded spot of the alley. Bringing with her those beautiful yet teary eyes. She sat there quietly as the cold winds cradled her. Tears fell down from her eyes like a waterfall bashing through the river floor. It never stops. Just like the glow on her life that slowly fades out. She held his hand one last time. On that fateful night, the trees shed its leaves, just like her shedding those tears. He looked at her for one last time and told her to stop crying. He wiped her tears, smiled and then walked away. Away with another woman who held his hand very tightly. That night, she walked along the empty streets alone. With her head bowed down throughout the inner depths of the earth. She couldn't speak, couldn't breath and couldn't hear anything. For her heart was broken into pieces, just when it was starting to heal. She looked at the heaven, asked God why. But all she could ever hear was her own mournings. She lost all the hope she had. For there was nowhere for her to go. But then she sat there at the alley as if waiting for someone to sit beside her and embrace all those sadness away. But then, she was hoping that he'll come back for her. To hold her hand once more. She sat there, waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting. No matter how long, no matter the difficulties she's suffering right now. It doesn't matter. For all that she could ever think about is that, no matter how far the distance, their love would prevail in the end. So she waited some more. She looked at the moon and said to herself. "I wish that he is looking at the same moon as I am right now, maybe the moon could whisper to him all the feelings I have for him. I love you so much". She fainted, with blood flowing along the floor. Instantly, your eyes captured me. Lost in time and space, with you I'm free. Over the stars I wished upon every night. Venturing the unknown 'til I could find you again. Enveloped with the grace of hope you gave to me. Yearning for those sweet melodies again. Overjoyed by the thoughts of you in my head. Under the same sky, I know your not that far. Behind the sadness, I'll still fight for our love. Everlasting happiness that I promised, I'll give to you. Bent down along the eyes of fate, I whispered. I couldn't live without you. Try to decode... Thanks Ada for the idea... Labels: Drama, Love Life, Stories from the heart

This time, it will be much longer... The sun sets much faster since the day you left. I feel my life slowly fades out, joining the setting sun. Life as I knew it, has never been the same. I stood here at the same place. The place where I met you. I could visualize it clearly, everything happened so fast that time. The sun sets very slowly as I was loving the magnificent view, then it all happened. A flash from the sun blinded my eyes. The cold winds gathered around me, carrying me up until I was knocked unconscious. By the time I woke up, you were in front of me, looking at me with those worried eyes as you whisper "Are you ok?!". I stood up, looked at her with pure curiosity, she looks very unfamiliar. It seems like she's not from around here. She looks different from all the other girls I've seen before. As if she only exists in my dreams. Those eyes, shining like the setting sun. Blinding like the light that knocked me out. They were beautiful, very beautiful. She sat down beside me, we watched the slowly setting sun. She told me that she's not really from around here. She happened to pass by and saw me lying on the ground unconscious. Everytime she talks, I couldn't stop looking at those eyes. It always takes my breath away everytime our eyes meet. She was very beautiful, slowly, I'm falling for her. I took her around town, showed her every wonders that the world could bring. Gave her the time of her life. I shouldn't waste the time she gave me. Every second counts. For I feel something very different. It feels like I'm slowly losing her. The night approaches fast. The moon shines its glory. I took her back from the start. From the place where we first met. "Here we are again." "Yeah. I thought you'll show me around?" "Why bother? This is the most beautiful place in town." "Really?" "Yeah, in this place the sun sets, in this place life is very peaceful, and in this place, I met you." *Smiles, blushes* "Can I ask you something?" "Anything." "Would you catch me if I fall for you?" "I'll catch you, and I won't let go." "Really?.. What would you do If tomorrow, you'll wake up and you'll notice that I'm not by your side anymore?" "Then I won't sleep, I'll watch over you until the day I die." "I'm not promising that tomorrow, I'll still be around." "Why? Tell me." "I can't." From that moment, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep slumber. I felt scared when I heard those words from her. I hugged her as tight as I can. This time I won't let go, I won't. The winds sang its tune on us. It made me feel very sleepy. Slowly, my eyes closed, I held her tightly just to be sure I won't lose her. I fell into a deep slumber. The sun shone above me. I opened my eyes, blinded by the rays of the sun. My heart beated violently. I noticed that, she was gone. I shed a tear and realized that, maybe she's really only a dream. But why did it felt so real? I looked around and noticed a note lying beside me. "I'm sorry for leaving without telling. I'm sorry but I guess, it's time to wake up from this slumber. It was being too good and I loved every second of it. Meeting you was the most precious thing that had happened to me. I wish I could sleep once more so I could be with you all over again. But beautiful things has its end. Remember that I will always love you. I'll surely miss you." Maybe in time, I'll forget you. Maybe. But then I don't know how or when. But thinking that we're looking at the same sky, we're not really far away. I believe we'll meet again. Someday, somehow. I'll wait for you... I woke up from a deep slumber. I looked at the calendar and noticed that it has been 3 days. I had a dream. It was a very beautiful experience. I want it to happen again. Maybe.. Just Maybe, if I sleep again, there would be a chance that my dream could continue. Maybe. I'll try. This time, It would be much longer. I might never wake up again. For I'd rather die sleeping and dreaming you are here than waking up every morning noticing that you're not real. Labels: Stories from the heart

The things I would do just to forget you... Soft sounds of a fountain was the background music, gushes of the winds were their cradle, and only a candle lights their faces... Yes, it was a very beautiful evening for both of them, each of them sends of their messages through their passionate eyes... It was the night that the quiet young man promised... I woke up one day... Still haunted by the past... Hopeless and weak, never knowing what to do... There at my bed, I sat still... With the warmth from the sun covering me, embracing all the hatred that was stuck inside my heart... For the first time, I was calm... Calm and ready to face another day... Everywhere I look I always see lovers... Holding hands, whispering in each other's ear, laughing, kissing, hugging, and having a good time... I looked at them... Envious... They just smiled at me... As I raced my way unto the busy side walk... I closed my eyes for a bit, hoping for someone to bump at me... But I guess, that will never happen... Slowly, I opened my eyes... The blinding light of the sunset flashed right in front of me... As things started to get clearer, I heard someone crying... There I saw her, watching the sunset as it hides beneath the horizon... Her long black hair embraces her body as the winds started to get colder... My heart was then, occupied by pity... From that moment, I couldn't control myself... I sat beside her... She looked at me with those beautiful eyes, overflowing with wasted tears... "I know, I am a complete stranger... But you can cry on my shoulder..." I said, as I shared a broken smile... She just shared a smile, and looked away... Right into the hiding sun... "Ok, I guess you want to be alone... I'll go now... Take care..." I stood up and walked again into the busy streets... Until... "Wait... Please stay..." Of course, I wouldn't leave her... I wouldn't leave someone crying alone on a crowded place... I sat again beside her... With that sad look upon her face... I couldn't help but to ask her what's wrong... She told me that she saw her boyfriend with an another girl... Kissing and laughing as if she wasn't there... It's been months but still, she couldn't cope up with it... It was hard for her to move on... Slowly, she rested her head on my shoulder, as I wiped her tears... I sign of relief was visible upon her hidden smiles... I couldn't blame her for crying, I know, with this, she will surely be stronger in the future... She looked at me with pure happiness as she told me... "Let's eat something, my treat" "No no no, let me treat you tonight ok?" Dissapointed, she agreed with a nod... I took her on a restaurant not far from here... The scenery was perfect... This night was truly the night of my dreams... But I knew, that this night will not last long... "A candlelight dinner, how romantic" She said, blushing... I knew, it won't last long... So might as well make this a night we won't forget... As the time flew by, her eyes seems to glow more and more brighter each second. She now smiles with ease. I can see by her eyes, she's now happy, contented.. Just the way I wanted her to be... She then, sat next to me... Rested at my shoulder for a while, and held my hand.... I was blushing but I didn't gave her a chance to notice it... I looked at her with a smile as she played with my fingers... "Why didn't I met you before?.." "Maybe, God made this day for us to meet..." "I wish I could turn back time..." "Me too.. Me too..." She cuddled right into my arms, with her head upon my chest... My heart started to beat faster and faster... I knew she felt it... But then suddenly... Her boyfriend came, rushing down on us... He punched me and left me stunned, as she took her away from me... She looked at me as tears fell from her eyes, she tried to reach me but then it was already too late... The darkness of the night, swallowed the two of them away... Out of sight... Tears and blood mixed as they dripped into my cheeks and right down to the ground... I couldn't move... I was too weak... Embarassed, ashamed... I didn't know what to do... "What now?.. *sigh*" -to be continued Labels: Series, Stories from the heart, The Cure for the Common Hitch

Is this the beginning of our last dance? The room felt the intensity when the two of them met at the center. The lights shone more lively than ever before. Everyone was excited to see those two to dance together once again... On the dance floor, I am invincible. Nobody can stop me from dancing; nobody can stop me from expressing myself... They say that I dance with passion, I dance with life, I dance with energy... But they were all wrong... Inside, I wasn't really dancing at all... My body moves but never did my heart... Something's missing... And I didn't know what that was 'til that faithful day came... I went to the park to get some fresh air, and to release all the pressure I had. It was fall that time, cold winds struck my skin but then I went on... This is all I needed... Then I heard music coming from under a tree not that far from here. I followed the beautiful music until I arrived at this large tree. My heart pumped harder than before, I wasn't sure what I felt back then... I couldn't stop looking at her as she danced her way around that spot... She was very graceful, like angels from heaven carried her around. I couldn't stop looking at her. Until she fell down on her feet when a rock blocked the dance floor. I immediately ran out of hiding to help her out. She was really hurt that time, but then she smiled when I helped her out... "Thank you" she said politely... I sat beside her under the tree... My heart felt like it wants to jump out of my ribcage... I let out a hidden smile... But then it was really noticable because my face was turning red... She giggled quietly... We got to know each other more under that tree... She was also a dancer, but she was more used on dancing with a partner... I felt disappointed because I'm more of a soloist type... She told me that her partner went abroad to start a new career. "I'm not really good in dancing with a partner, but if you want, I can be your dancing partner?" I told her... She smiled with a relief saying "Really? That would be great! Thank you!" and gave me a sweet hug... Everyday she goes to the studio to practice with me... Every move, every step was very graceful and effortless for her, I learned from her... She taught me every step of the way, she changed the way I dance in this life... She changed everything to me... I was more happy than ever... And the people saw it too. Even the critics liked me now. I was very happy that I met her... Then as time passed by... The people saw our efforts and wanted us to dance on a town celebration... Of course we accepted the proposal... There was silence all over the room when we first stepped in. The world was ours, and time was on our side... We danced the night away with grace and passion... All that time, I was smiling... Knowing that I was holding her hand all night... She was smiling as I was too... I was very happy, but then I didn't know that she wasn't... After the performance, her face was full of sadness, the silence she expressed was deafening... I couldn't help it, I asked her why... "I miss my partner" she told me... I looked at the stars that time and realized... "I can never replace someone like him..." I left her alone for a while to think about everything... What is this I'm feeling?.. Am I... Jealous?... I left the room with a swipe to my falling tear... The next day, she left a note... She thanked me for everything I've done for her... She told me that she was very happy that she met me in the process. But then she wanted to be left alone for now... She didn't wrote why... I felt alone... Now, everything seems pointless... I couldn't feel the passion anymore... I couldn't feel the every beat that the music made... I... I... I miss her... The people became more aware of my situation... Just like that, I lost some fans and gained more critics... I lost everything... "Oh God... Take away everthing.. But please, make her come back to me..." I stood under the tree where we first met... Everything changed since I last went here... Everything seems too dull now... I missed her more and more... Then from a distance, a soft music played on the background... Tears fell from my eyes as I looked back... I saw her standing there... Smiling at me... I smiled and greeted her... "I thought about everything... It's true, you can never replace him... But you are far better than him... I missed you so much..." My heart was beating faster than ever... As if it was dancing through every note of the background music... "Can we have another dance together?" she asked... I held her hand as she placed her hand on my shoulder... As I told her... "Anytime my love..." Once around the floor can we do it again?... I love you... Labels: Stories from the heart

Fewer and fewer people pass that road... Leaves fall down and then new ones sprout once more... As time goes on, so as this place... Many has changed, it has only been 14 years... I was walking down to our subdivision, for a stroll... And to freshen up a bit after a busy day... I noticed many changes around me... Changes that I didn't expect to happen... I happen to pass by at the playground... I remember when I was still a teeny bopper, we play here with my neighbors and with my sister... I would wake up at 7 in the morning just so I can be the first one to arrive here... This place was once very lovely... This place was the center of attraction, for many of the town fiesta's gatherings were done here... This place was once full of flowers, butterflies and dragonflies... And the mind calming smiles of children were all around the area... Yes, laughters and such... But now?.. That place is gone... It is there physically but, it is now different... WAY different... Now, dead leaves covers the pathwalks, tall grasses were all over the place... And the once so lively monkey bars and slides... Are now just a pile of junk... Rusts and holes are seen... No one can hang in the bars without getting blisters and small wounds in their hands... As I pass through, I shared a tear... "Damn"... The only word that came out of my mouth... The deafening silence strucked me as I walk down the empty streets... There was once a street where children fears the most in our town... That street was always empty, only the sound of the waterfall can be heard... Why is it so scary? This street was the breeding place of stray dogs... Imagine how many dogs live in that place... If ever you step foot on that street... Hundreds of dogs will chase you to death... But then, time flies so fast... The waterfall is now covered with rocks, and a small mining site stood in it... The noisy dogs are now gone... The once so empty street, is now... Lonely... Then, I happen to pass by at a sari-sari store... This store was once the "Supermarket" of our town... It was always bountiful and never ran out of supplies... All the things you need are there... And the store owner was once very friendly, and always shares a smile... Then, SM Fairview and Robinsons Novaliches stood just 10 mins ride from our town... Yes... The store suffered from bankruptcy... Until now, the store opened again after how many years... But it was not as before... The store looks empty now... And the store owner's smile, is now gone... I thought that time heals? But why did it have to be this way? The once so lively town... Is now a ghost town... I went at the bulletin board right at the guard house... And I saw an announcement... The announcement was... "Notice, for Christmas Basketball League"... Maybe there's still hope after all... Labels: Stories from the heart

I didn't mind the world... For I was free... The day was great for a stroll outside. The sun immediately shone his glory unto the world after the rooster's crow... I stood up, got dressed and went outside... The streets were empty, seems like everyone is still asleep, but I can't wait any longer... One by one, I knocked at the gates of my friends' houses, hoping that they were already awake... Eventually, they came out, still with the sign of the sandman who visited their houses... Wiping their eyes and still yawning... "Heey! Come on! Let's play!" I shouted with laughter... They all smiled and immediately went outside... "Taya ka na!" each of us shouted as we took our turns on being the "it". Our little voices and laughters were heard even from outside our subdivision... Yes, we were having fun... Those were the days... Those were the days that we were free... From the worries of the world, free from the problems of the government, young, innocent, and free... As the sun went up above the heavens, the bell rang... Shouting that it was time for lunch... Pretty soon, the streets would be empty again... As we ate our lunch, all we could ever think about are the laughters and the joy that we shared with each other... The games that we played from morning til night... And the gust of wind as it touches our skins everytime we run... Yes, it was all I could think about... Whenever the sun waves at us, we always wave back at him at our houses' rooftop... We could see the sun smiling, I know he also enjoyed our company, he also enjoyed watching us right there... I can now see the moon coming... Asking us if she can also play with us... "Tagu-taguan maliwanag ang buwan, pagbilang ko ng sampu, nakatago na kayo!" The "it" shouted as the moon shares her glow... It was the perfect time to play taguan... I was the it that time... Yes, I know the feeling of being a "burot". We played and played until it was already late... "Anim! Pito! Walo! Siyam! Sampu! Andito na koooh!" I shouted... I turned around and started searching for them... Minutes and hours passed, still I couldn't find them... "Where are they"... A security guard saw me, and told me... "Little one, they all went home an hour ago... You go home too ok? It's already late..." I smiled with embarassment surrounding my mind... Went home with my head bowed down... Maybe it is getting late... I should call it a day... Tomorrow will be a different story... Miss those days?... Yeah... Me too... Labels: Stories from the heart

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... The blinding light from the fluorescent lamp shined troughout the whole room as I opened the dors and flicked the switch... There was no one there, I guess I'm too early for the 7:30 bell... I sat at my desk and fell asleep while waiting for my classmates... Even though my eyes are closed, I am awake... Eventually I heard the closing and opening of the door... Finally, I'm not alone, I opened my eyes to see the person who entered.. I saw her there, sitting at the corner, listening to her mp3 player... I sat beside her and greeted her a good morning. She gave me her sweetest smile... For a while, we sat there at the corner, but she was quet, she never uttered a word... Maybe because I'm quiet too... For I was too shy to even move mouth... Or maybe... Maybe because she's waiting for someone... And not me... From the very first time I entered this room, She was the 1st person who greeted me "hi!" I can never forget that day... It was the first day of classes, every freshmen such as myself are all quiet, silent as a sitting rock, waiting for someone to move them... I entered the classroom looking for an empty seat, there at the corner she waved at me, I smiled with wonder, but then she pointed at an empty chair beside her and asked me to sit there... Of course I accepted her offer. "Hi There!" she uttered... I smiled at her... Our story was not different from our classmates, communication builded up our relationship. We've got even closer as every minnute passes by. Every quizzes and every seatworks I'm always there for her... To help her out in every possible way I can. As months flew by, I planned to court her... But then... I guess I was too late... She's been hanging out with my friend... Especially when goung out to lunch, I'm always left behind, again alone in this room of light.... I didn't know what to do.... Everytime I walk with her, he is also there too, the two of us always accompanied her everywhere. But I felt this wasn't right....I felt the negative vibes entering my innocent self... Yes, from that moment, I knew what I felt.... I felt jelous... Quiet Again. sitting beside her... In this room filled with blinding light and only the sound of the air conditioner was our background music... I took a last glimpse of her... I know here in my heart. I will never forget that face. I will never forget this corner where we first met. As I took my last chance to touch her hair, I said to her... "Hey. I guess this is goodbye." She looked at with pure curiosity... I just smiled at her. Just before the tears same out, my classmate came in laughing and yelling jokes. I know it will be hard for me to get over her... But looking at my classmates, I know I can do It, in never alone... I have them. Thank You CBA, Thanks guys... Happy Vacation See you when I see you... I'm so sorry... Really...

Night Sky... Moonlight... Stars... The cold breeze touched my sleeping soul one morning... I woke up noticing the silence...It's so quiet... Very quiet... Immediately, after hearing the rooster cry, I stood up and sat at the terrace... There, I observed the rising sun... I envy the sun... For he rises every morning despite of the darkness that came before him... As I was watching the sun, somebody covered my eyes... I touched the hands and felt that she was a girl... I can never forget those hands... Hands as soft as cotton, hands as lonely as the flowers around... A hidden smile was seen upon my face as I said... "Good Morning... Wyena..." She slowly released her hands that covered my eyes, and gave me a soft embrace... Joy covered my while soul... My heart pounded hardly and I know she felt it too... "It's been a long time..." I gently whispered... "Really? I hardly even noticed!" she answered... Silence occupied the moment... The silence was deafening... I must break it... "I Missed You..." we both whispered at the same time... Then we walked at the seashore... As she was smiling, amazed at the beauty of Mother Nature... I was looking at her... Amazed by her beauty... The day passes by so quickly, but never did she released my hands... Our hands was one that day... I never wanted to let go... I want this moment to last forever... The day turned into night... The winds were more colder than before... The moon shines her light very brightly... It was very beautiful... We stopped there for a while... Noticed the aurora... She smiled, very happily... "Beautiful" She said... "Yeah, very beautiful..." I gently whispered as my eyes gazed upon her... She looked at my eyes... Her eyes were shining... From that moment, I felt love from her... I felt love from her, once more... I felt the romance flowing around the cold air... As the howling winds shared its melody, and the moon was its main attraction... She sang to us her best song... As our eyes met that very moment... I slowly came closer, attempted to kiss her... She never rejected... Slowly... Slowly... Slowly... Then... "OK! Pass your papers, finish or not finish!..." I woke up... _______________________________ Someone asked me before... "Where do you get your stories?", "Where do you get your inspiration?" Well this is my answer... I dream of them... Just like this one... Inspiration? I don't have one at the moment... I dreamt of this story when I was sleeping on an exam... Haha! Maybe I miss Wyena too much... No... Not maybe... I really miss Wyena so much... Labels: Stories from the heart

Maybe, you have read this story from me many times... I want to share it once more... So bear with me guys! heehee.. :) Seatwork namin ito noon sa English... Gusto ko lang i-share... Darkness came, as it slowly blinds my eyes... It was a silent afternoon, the wind was soothing as it cuddles my soul into this never ending feeling of peace... Everyone was taking their mid afternoon rest but I was not... Sitting in a cottage, I held my guitar; singing the songs you've been singin to me since the day we met... Hoping you could hear me and hoping you will sit beside me... I wasn't alone, for the birds were there to sing with me, but still... I'm still hoping it was you... Somehow, I heard your voice... You called me, and waved your hands... You smiled, I too was smiling... I asked you to come sit beside me, you never turned down my request... Now I sit here, looking at your eyes... Everything was spinning, the winds were smiling as they whispered to me the words that I should say to you... "Tell her! Tell her now!"... I only looked into your eyes, that magically brown eyes... As if the sun is rising in it... It was glowing, probably with happiness... I can see it through your every smile... Then you sang our song... That calming voice that soothes my tired and worried soul... I felt freedom... I felt freedom when I'm with you... This is what I truly wanted all along... I wanted you all along... To be here beside me, at our paradise... You asked me to join you guys to go to the seashore... The day was perfect for a plunge... Of course I came along... But all I did was to watch you there... Every laughter, every smile you shared to your friends... I was envious back then, but you looked at me... Shared a smile... That was the most beautiful smile I have ever seen... The sun was starting to say goodbye... The darkness was coming fast... But then you didn't move... "What's wrong? Come on, let's go..." I told you... Still you didn't budge... "Let us stay here for a while... I'm waiting for something..." Curious as always, I sat at the seashore with you... I started to wander but it all worn off when you smiled and pointed at the horizon... It was a wonderful sight... The sun was starting to set... Slowly, it hides into the horizon, waving at us as it shared its light... We were glowing... I felt love in the air... I clinged into your arms as you held my hand at that moment... Then we shared our dreams, our inspirations, and our promise... A promise I will never forget... You and I, until the sun sets... You and I until darkness rules the world... You and I, forever... The wind was getting colder as the moon started to show her face... But then you still didn't budge... You moved even more closer, you clinged harder to me... I can't move... I never wanted to move... I don't want the sun to set... I don't want you to leave my sight again... I don't want the past... I don't want the Future... I just want the present... The present to stand still... So I can be with you always... We looked at the heavens, the universe was with us... Clearly showing to us the love we had back then... I still love you... Before, now, and forever will be... Goodbye, why does it have to end this way? Goodbye, why do we have to walk away? Goodbye, hold my hand and never let go... Goodbye, Let me tell you that I love you so... For one last time... One last time... Until the sun sets, and we say goodbye... -icarus05 Labels: Our story... Wyena..., Stories from the heart

The Rain Falls Heavily Tonight… I’m standing here, beyond the clouds… As cold winds touched my skin… I’m searching for you behind the horizon… Through the birds I send my message… I want to say I’m sorry but I don’t know how… It’s been weeks since I’ve been apart to you, even though I’m here in paradise, I can’t help but cry… The rain continuously falls down, it seems that it felt my feelings; the clouds joined me as I cry out loud… "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." I woke up one morning, the sun was shining brightly that it blinded my sleepy eyes… I was smiling, very excited… For that day was our anniversary… I had been planning this day since the day we’ve been together… I got up, took a bath, ate my breakfast and got on to my motorcycle for a stroll outside… Messages from you occupied my cellphone, but I didn’t answer. You’re starting to get angry, but I didn’t mind… For I didn’t want to be disturbed, I don’t want to spoil the surprise… As I rode my motorcycle, I really can’t tell what I felt, it seems like someone’s watching me… I felt uneasy… Although I didn’t mind it, for it may distract my momentum. I was getting closer and closer to your location, my heart starts beating faster and faster… After a while, a familiar face is now visible… It was you standing there, waiting for me patiently, your face was shining and your eyes were sparkling… You were beautiful that day… I felt love in the air; I felt love as I came closer to you… I’m falling in love with you all over again… You greeted me with a kiss, “Let’s go?” I asked… you just nodded your head, rode in my motorcycle and took you to this place… But as we rode through our destination, I felt a sudden urge of discomfort… I felt nervous… But it all faded away when you hugged me tightly and whispered words of love at my ear... As soon as we arrived, it was already nightfall… The scene was perfect; the view here is magnificent… Just like before… “What are we doing here?” you asked… “Don’t you still remember?” “Remember what?” “This place… This is the very same spot where I met you…” *A soft smile was visible upon her face… She was blushing…* “Yes… I remember now… But why here?” “Because, this is the place where I fell in love with you… One year has passed since then, but I want to start again here, this place is special to me, for this is the place where I met you... And this is the place where I will ask you...” “Ask what?” “My love, will you grow old with me?” “Seriously?” I gave her a ring and it slowly placed it to her finger, she smiled as tears fell from her eyes… She hugged me right away… Crying out loud… I felt it, she was happy… Very happy, as I was too… “Don’t ever be afraid ok? Remember no matter happens, I will always be with you…” We went home as soon as the sun shown its glory… We were happy as we rode down the long and winding rode… I wasn’t feeling very easy… I heard voices calling me… And it seems that someone is watching me from afar… I knew there was something wrong… I knew that something will happen… But I didn’t expected it to be this early… My heart was beating faster… I’m losing my mind… But then you hugged me tightly… For a short while, I felt eased… I knew she felt it, we were driving very fast… She was afraid, shouted every second of our trip… I told her not to be scared; I gave her my helmet and went on… All of a sudden, it all happened… It all happened so fast… My motorcycle went out of control, for one last time, I took a glimpse of her… “I love you… I’m sorry…” I whispered… I’m here, watching you from afar… You still can’t get over it… You never stopped crying… And it tears me apart… Then God stood beside me… He asked me about something… And I answered him honestly… He then nodded his head with agreement… Suddenly, the rain stopped… He whispered words of hope unto my ears… “My child… Go to her… Make her happy once more…” The next thing I knew... I am back in that place again... I'm looking at the magnificent view when you sat beside me... Kissed me and said... "Good Morning honey..." Labels: Stories from the heart

The night was ours... The stars are shining brightly that night, you clinged into my arms and I held your soft hands... Seems the two of us never wanted to let go... I really don't want to let go... I don't want this night to end... Under a tree we lie down, looking at the stars and counting them as the universe blanketed us with its infinity... A cold breeze caressed us, carried us and made us fly, fly high in this night sky... I was smiling, and you are too. We never thought that our lives will be as good as we dreamt it to be... To think that, in this place... In this place, it all started... I was trying to find a perfect spot that day, so I can lie down for a while and take a rest... While I was walking around this large garden near the seashore, I heard a voice... A lady's voice... It was the most beautiful hymn I had ever heard in my entire life.. She was singing, singing her heart out... Although, I felt her feelings, she was sad that time... I moved closer, is it probably because I want to hear more? is it probably because she is beautiful? or is it because, I want to help her? Whatever the reasons may be... I made up my mind... She was sitting in this large tree, a tree that seemed to stood there for almost a century now... It was a very nice spot for a rest, but it became perfect when I met her there... I came closer and gave her a flower... The most beautiful flower in the garden, next to her... She smiled as tears fell from her eyes... She murmured her first words to me... "Thank you so much..." "Thank you for what?" I asked curiously... Then she pointed me the flower I gave... I smiled gently at her... As easy as that, I've fallen in love with her... Slowly, she came closer, I got the chance to know her more... We became closer to each other... But then the day has to end so sudden, the sun wave its hands to us, as he descends from the heavens unto the never ending horizon... We watched him, amazed by his beauty... I looked at her eyes... It was sparkling, probably because of the light that the sunset shared to us... But it was different... Somehow, I felt her feelings again... She was happy, contented... I don't know why... Everyday, as I go to this place you're always there, the only difference is, you don't sing those sad songs anymore... Every melody of your song, I felt your joy, every words you utter always makes me smile... Everyday, we grow closer to each other, we were in love... And I had this feeling of gladness that I wouldn't wanted to take away... But what if she leaves? Just like that?.. I don't want her to leave... Never... Time flies so fast, when I'm with you... Seems like the sun is always running ang making way to the moon... Day turned into a night... But this night was different... I felt strange... The stars are shining brightly that night, you clinged into my arms and I held your soft hands... Seems the two of us never wanted to let go... I really don't want to let go... I don't want this night to end... Then she uttered again those words... "Thank You" she said happily... "Thanks for what?"... I asked... She brought out the flower that I gave her when we first met... "Thank you, for this..." ... "You already thanked me... No need..." ... "Thank you too, for coming into my life..." She said... I Just smiled embraced her and suddenly she closed her eyes took a nap on my shoulder... She was very peaceful, then a small mark of smile was visible upon her face... I slowly opened my eyes... To my surprise, she was not there... Nobody was there... I looked at the large tree that was in front of me... The tree moved slightly as if it was waving at me... Nothing really happened... It was only a dream... But then again... It felt so real... I looked at the tree once more... And to my amusement... The tree was not old anymore... It was blooming with flowers around it... I moved closer... And was shocked by the object that I saw... I saw a... I saw a tombstone... With her name, written all over it... Tears flowed from my eyes... Then I looked at my hands, and saw something peculiar... I'm holding a flower... I closed my eyes for one last moment... Smiled gently and offered the flower to her... Somehow... Maybe somehow... I am satisfied... Labels: Stories from the heart
