Birthdays Come Once A Year
Birthdays come once a year. People like you come once in a lifetime… It isn’t everyday that I get to meet people like you, strong yet soft-spoken, responsible yet fun to be with, conservative yet sexy, smart at the same time wise… You could be everything at the same time… and yes, thank God for bringing someone like you in this world, so amazing and so modest.
Being born in this world was the best thing, and meeting you was the next best…A sudden tremble goes to my knees, resonance in my chest caused by the rapid beating of my heart, the world stops and I then melt, that is Darwin experiencing the nearness of you. If you ask me why I feel this way, I like you, in every possible way. This is something I never intended to happen, everything happened so fast, all you really had to do was to be You, and there I was stranded in the feeling of liking you. I tried to hide it from you, but feeling this way for you feels so right. This has been killing me, I’ve been thinking for how many weeks, but I guess being honest is the right thing to do. The feelings that I have, kept me awake at night, kept me wondering through the day, and somehow by not telling this to you, it made me feel incomplete and uncomfortable. I just had to let it out.
Try to picture this out, the day is so bad, it is so dark, the rain is so strong, winds gushing to who knows how many miles per hour, then you suddenly show up, sun comes out, the rain stops, the wind disappears, what was a bad day a minute before transcends into a great moment.. It is basically the analogy of you coming into my life. With everything so messed up in my life, there is you, the one thing that keeps my sanity, you that inspires me to hold on to the shimmer of hope that I have in my life. I find inspiration in you because who would have taught that in this one life of mine I would have a chance to meet this one woman, that from the moment I saw her, I knew in my heart she was the one, her hands were the one that I would have wanted to hold through whatever this life brings me, this woman who has beyond words surprisingly got stuck in my head, and my heart seemingly wouldn’t let go. This woman named Joan, with 4 letters I was swept away.
Lucky are those who had their moments with you, a chance to share their lives with yours. If only I would have the chance to bind my life with yours, with all that I have, I will give willingly and genuinely all my heart to you. I know somehow this will really make you uncomfortable, but I owe this to myself and to you. With the little friendship that we share, I found out that there is more to you than meets the eye. Everytime I want to believe that I see you as my friend but every moment you stand infront of me, my heart just refuses to accept that the goose bumps that I have are signs of me seeing you as a friend. I used to ask myself, that maybe this is just an infatuation, a mere craze that will eventually go away but why this much and why so constantly. You are the first person I think about the moment I wake up and the last person in my mind before I go to sleep. Everyday I go to school I look for you, seeing you would be enough to make my day complete.
As the holiday season approaches, I feel like a child, believing that Santa Claus still exists, for there is this one wish that I bear in my heart, a wish for a chance to get closer to you, a chance to know you more, a chance to be noticed by you… Some say wishes do come true, some say they don’t. Funny, I realized that my Santa is you, the one who will decide if this wish of mine will come true.
Maybe next year, if given the chance to fall in love again, I’d fall in love with you, yes maybe next year, or maybe now… who knows… ü
This is very nicely stated, you can tell its from the heart, I used to feel the same way about someone once. Being in Love, is the greatest feeling in the world.
