February 2, 2013—this is one of the most significant days of my life. This was the day when out of billions of people around the world, I chose you. I have implored and waited for this moment all my life, and then… there you were, an answered prayer.
It was unexpected when we saw each other again in the midst of a celebration. I was amazed by your stance. You looked dignified—a grown up and a very clever man. As I was watching you all the time, I could not help noticing your chinito eyes. From there, where I was staring, my mind keeps singing “At kung ikaw ay nakatawa ako pa ba ay nakikita nalilimutan ko ang itsura ko kapag kausap na ikaw sana naman ako’y pakinggan nang ikaw ay malinawan dahil nabihag mo ang aking paningin at damdamin Oh! Chinito... Chinito...” You looked charming… you looked cute. I could not deny it—I had a crush on you.
I really could not explain myself but this song exactly nailed how I feel: “[I] used to be that I believed in something. [I] used to be that I believed in love. It’s been a long time since I’ve had that feeling; I could love someone; I could trust someone. I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again darling. I said I'd never let nobody in, but if you asked me to, I just might change my mind and let you in my life forever. If you asked me to, I just might give my heart and stay here in your arms forever. If you ask me to…”

It was my first time to go out with someone—with you. I felt butterflies while having our date but I admit whole-heartedly that abot tenga ang ngiti ko.

The days of our happiness seemed endless, but there had been unforeseen circumstances that had arrived. I tried. You tried. We tried. You chose to go away. Things fell apart. I chose to let you go because I want you to be happy though it hurts me badly. It became clear to me then, “Now is all I know. Now is all I got and I don't know if there will be tomorrow for us. Now is all I care about, now that you're the contents of my heart”.
