To: My Kind of Almost

1

I remember it was summer of the year. You and I had crossed paths again. We already met even before that summer. We talked once, we exchanged glances, and we smiled at each other. You thought I did not remember any of those anymore, right? Guess what, I remember everything. Lahat, natatandaan ko, kung paano ka tumingin at ngumiti, lahat.

That summer, I did not know you still had the same number, but little did I know, that simple text would turn my world upside down. You made me smile. Ang daya mo, e. Nakakainis ka. Ang corny mo pero ewan ko ba, palagi akong natatawa. Baliw ka kasi e. You even told me I was talkative! What the heck, imagine how I wanted to strangle you that time. Hahaha

But hey seriously, I was thankful because everytime I feel down, you were there. You did not fail on making me laugh. Thank you so much.

I want you to know that I treasured it. I treasured everything. Only that I did not realize it earlier. I was stupid, I know. Sorry.

I just want to tell you that although this is all 'bout you, I'm doing this for myself. Kasi pagkatapos ng nangyari, pakiramdam ko, parang nastuck ako sa traffic at kailanma'y di na nakausad. Because come on, it's been two years. Kailangan ko ring humakbang, 'di ba?

Masaya ka na e, so kailangan ko na ring maging masaya, di ba?

Gayunpaman, I am happy for you. At least, for you. I may not be able to tell you that, but I am.
