i get by...

i have been blessed with the most intelligent, empathetic, understanding friends. i don't get to say this to them much, but i am thankful everyday that they are at my side. they say that a friend in need is a friend indeed. along with the other lessons that i have gleaned from my recent "fall from grace", i now know who my friends are. with everything that they have done for me, especially to those two obstinate goddesses/fairy godmothers, thank you doesn't seem to be enough.

i know that they do not approve of the choices i have made. i know they want to beat some sense into me. i know thay want to kill darth so badly. para nga naman di na ko iiyak ulit. at di na ko aasa pa. but they love me so much so that they just shut up, hug me and whisper "everything's going to be all right."

so this goes out to my beloved friends, to my newfound family. i am standing tall once again, confident and full of hope, not because darth and i are together again. it's because of all of you, my fellow goddesses, that i get thru the day.

"i get by with a little help from my friends."

such a lovely couple...

Ah yes... so difficult. You can put all the mementos, letters, and pictures in a box. You can throw away the flowers, even the dried ones you have so lovingly collected. You can take off the ring that he promised forever with. You can put everything in a pile and burn them...

Yet, a blast of cold air would remind you of how he held you close in his arms; how he kissed your shivers away; how he would carry you on his back when you can't or won't walk anymore. How he would dance with you under the moonlight and hum. How he would tickle you till you cry with laughter. You try and turn away, willing everything that reminds you of how good it all was to go away. You shut your eyes tight, hoping it's not his face you would see in your mind.

But it still is.

And even if you don't want to. You remember.

We make such a lovely couple. We make such a good team, great partners. All of our family, friends, and acquaintances say so. I think we are. Or rather, we were.

And that is why it is so difficult to let go. Dahil sayang...sayang.It was all good. Even now, it is still good.

Kaya kahit na may mga araw na gusto ko na siyang isuko, kalimutan... hindi ko magawa. Sayang...

Sayang.
