You Made Me Cry...

 

You made me cry.
It caught me so off-guard because you haven't done anything to hurt me.

Quite the opposite.

You broke me wide open and shined light on the ways I've been settling for less in my life.

You somehow managed to do this with minimal words.

This sounds so lame but it was truly your presence that stirred so much up inside of me.

F*ck, I'm crying right now thinking about you.

The way your eyes gently pierce through my defenses, straight to my essence.

The way you listen and absorb little details in conversation.

The warm, buzzing energy you radiate when you're close.

Your goofy laugh that sprouts up when you let your guard down.

You are truly remarkable.

They say you rarely remember what a person said to you, 

you remember how made you feel.

Even if our story doesn't end up being romcom and even if we end up as background characters in each other's lives,

I'll always remember how you made me feel.

You've changed me for the better and that's a pretty good reason to cry if you ask me.

Wistful Smile

 

I blinked my heavy tired eyes

In fleeting seconds hope I would find

Your smiling face that brings delight

To my once aching heart. 

Just like a mist, readily gone

That's how you synced your time to mine

In just  few seconds you were gone 

Now I am wishing I crossed your mind.

Yes, that's what reality is!

Hellos and goodbyes are said inevitably

Hoping your plans went well with you

That is what my hearts desire for you.

Beautiful Strangers: Woman In The White SUV

 

The dawn hasn’t broke yet.

The blackness of the previous night still blankets the surrounding. A reddish light of the lamp-posts in the subdivision, the still trees lined up on each side of the paved road, the beautifully built town houses…everything gave a tranquil vibe. 

Not lonely, not scary, just serene. 

That’s how I felt while walking. It’s 4:30am, just me and the calm dawn. Passing the roundabout, a headlight shone behind me. 

I angled half of my body to glance back and check what’s behind. It’s a handsome big white SUV. 

I stepped inwardly since I was slightly within the driving lane. To my surprise, the car decelerated beside me while the window is being rolled down. 

A woman behind the wheel slightly ducked her head and peeped to the window while saying “sabay ka na palabas” with a friendly grin on her face. 

I was hesitant at first, however considering it was a woman, I shyly replied “okay lang po ba?" with an unsure smile and she said “of course” reaching to the door handle so it would open for me. 

Once inside, she introduced herself and casually asked about me. It’s supposed to be a 5-min ride. However learning that we’re both northbound, she offered the 45-min ride. She talked most of the time-telling stories, about her work and her life. 

I was just there listening,  nodding, speaking once in a while.  Gauging from her look, the woman was a bit older than me, definitely someone from the upper class, with a casual but classy demeanor. 

That  ride has long ended, approximately 5 years ago, yet I’m still awed by it. It was an unbelievably great morning. The woman was kindhearted and trusting. 

“How can I repay?” to the beautiful stranger.
