A Day In My Life
The nearest star was shining brightly outside my window, there was no sign of dark and heavy clouds as if dropping a hint that this day was a good one. I made my way outside the door feeling a bit hyped because finally! After quite a long while, I got the chance to see her. My lips couldn't stop itself from curving making me look like an idiot smiling at nothing.
As I walk towards gate 1, I felt my blood rushing and my cheeks a bit heated. My eyes landed on the most beautiful thing I have ever seen standing across the road, waiting for me. Her eyes that I adored the most met mine and her precious lips slowly formed a silly smile. I swear, I could feel my stomach flipping like an acrobat acting weirdly because of so much joy.
Moments later, I found myself standing beside her waiting for a cab with my heart banging like war drums. After a short while of waiting (aka deciding where to go and what to do + making fun of each other ) and a reject from a picky cab driver, we finally got a ride to Maginhawa and dropped off a bit far to where we wanted to eat so we had to walk to the other part. Shared a good laugh about little things, had small intimate gestures and ranting how tired and hungry we were while walking the down the sidewalk of the long peaceful street of Maginhawa. Along the halfway there, we got really tired and decided to take the trike only to find out that S&L was closed for some sort of kitchen renovation so we had to go back to where the cab dropped us off. Good god that was not so good. We spent our time walking and walking just to be disappointed? Had no choice but to dine at Laruan atbp cafe. Ordered a few snacks and started playing. To be honest, their food was okay, not that disappointing as I have thought and the place was kinda cool but the thing was, we had a hard time picking what game to play because most of their board games and cards were best played when you are with your bunch of fellas. So we played jenga, slapwich, brain box and reversed jenga which we did not get to figure out how that works. Guess who lost? I did. We left after a while because we wanted to go billiards. We waited outside for our uber and while waiting, we did silly things (for me, that was so sweet huhu) which really surprised me because it has been forever since we did such act in public. I felt really happy because she doesn't seem so annoyed with me. Our uber arrived and we hopped in. It was getting dark outside, the sun has set and the dark sky unfolds, slowly revealing the stars. I curled up to her clinging like a baby koala longing for warm, tight hugs. I missed my safe haven, my home –inside your arms. Your arms will always have the same feeling of security and peace –the only thing that could calm my raging sea of thoughts that drowns my soul or could tame my demons from deceiving me; from driving me to conclusions that arent true about me and you. You pulled out your earphones, shared them with me and put on a good music as i watch the sky outside the car window. You have no idea how perfect that moment was for me. I suddenly felt so emotional i even cried a few drops when by your side played. The lyrics were so strong and so accurate for it says, “Hold my hand and keep me close. I’ll never let you go. No, not tonight. Keep me by your side.” It was a hard hit to my core. Again, my tendons broke. My heart ached for how precious that moment was. Everything was so magical yet so real. My soul cried lots of pink pearls because of so much happiness. If only i could stop the time, i would literally do everything to make it last long –long enough to keep you until the end but again, we couldnt.
After the most perfect car ride i have ever experienced, we arrived at Starmall and played billiards. I had so much fun even though I never won a game We got tired and had dinner after the game. Talked about things.
My heart would explode because of extreme happiness that i couldnt contain. I dont deserve this. Literally, everything was so real! It seemed like you didnt pretend to like me. I could feel your heart beating for me. You have no idea how much I longed for this day to happen. I got sad when I have realized that soon, all of this will be over. It hurts to think that all that we did today will just be memories to look back. At least, they were good ones. No, perfect. I know, soon enough, you’ll get to read this. Thank you for today! I love you so much!
This one was, by far, the hardest one I wrote. I couldn't put such perfect feelings into nonsense words. Let this feeling just remain a feeling. I know it by heart, no need to write it out. No one can grasp it but me. No one will understand how the fireworks exploded inside my chest.
