'Dati pangarap lang kita,
Mula sa malayo nakaabang lang sa'yo tuwina,
Ikaw ang laging hanap yaring mga mata, Nasasabik akong laging makita ka.
Gabi-gabi di makatulog kakaisip sa'yo,
Hanggang sa panaginip ikaw ang kasama ko,
Sa umaga pagdilat ng mga mata ko,
May sigla at ngiti sa bawat kilos ko.
Kaysarap magmahal yan ang pinaka-masayang nararanasan ko,
Kaysarap mabuhay lalo na't ikaw ang kapiling ko,
Kaysarap damhin ng pagmamahal mo,
At sa bawat t***k ng puso ko,ikaw lang ang laging hanap nito.'
"Ang galing!" Pumapalakpak pang sabi ni Star. "Ikaw bang gumawa ng tula ha? Grabe! dalang dala ako."
"Syempre! basta para sayo lahat ay gagawin ko. Gusto mo bang sumayaw. ako habang kumakanta?" Ani Blaire kay Star na tumatango habang kaylapad ng ngiti nito sa kanya.

Parang bulateng kinakagat ng langgam kung sumayaw si Blaire, kaya tuloy naluluha na sa katatawa ang dalaga at hawak hawak na nitong tiyan.
"Tama na Blaire! utang na loob hahaha.. Ang sagwa mong sumayaw haha.. Woohh.. my God! sakit ng tiyan ko hahaha."
Nakinig naman ang binata huminto ito bigla saka nakapamewang na humarap kay Star. Hindi ito nagslita basta lang nakatingin ito sa dalaga na tumatawa pa rin. Maya maya tumalikod na ito at naglakad palayo. Halatang napikon na ito sa dalaga na umiiyak sabay tumatawa na parang baliw.
"Hahaha.. Hoy Blaire! san ka pupunta?"
"Yoko na! uuwi na lang ako."
"Haha.. Ang pikon ay laging talo. Hoy! Blaire, bumalik ka dito."
Pahabol nyang sabi sa binata na malayo layo ng nalalakad. Hindi ito sumagot ni hindi nga ito lumingon man lang.
"Bumalik ka sabi dito eh!" Naiinis nyang sigaw sa binata. At ng makita nyang binubuksan na nito ang pinto ng sasakyan nito. Sinigawan nya ulit ito.
"Isaaa!" nilakasan nyang pagsigaw dito. Pero pasakay na ito sa kotse.
"Pag dika bumalik dito Blaire, break na tayoo.."
Ang inis na nararamdaman nya ay biglang naglaho ng makitang tumatakbo pabalik sa kina uupuan nyang bench si Blaire.
"Aba! Star, Wala namang ganyanan, grabe ka sakin, pinaglalaruan mo na lang ako palagi." Mahaba ang ngusong reklamo nya sa dalaga na nakangisi sa kanya.
"Tumula kana lang palagi, kasi wala kang future sa singing at dancing."
Pigil ang tawang sabi nya sa kasintahan na lalong humaba pang nguso. Di nya tuloy napigilan ang sariling halikan ito na kaagad namang tinugon ng binata. Saglit lang ang halik na yun, pero ramdam nyang kaligayahan at kakontentuhan. Ng maghiwalay ang kanilang mga labi pinitik nyang noo ng binata at tumawa ng malakas. Masama naman ang tinging ipinukol nito sa kanya.
"Ops.. kalma! may sasabihin ako sayo, kaya makinig kang mabuti dahil ngayon ko lang sasabihin ito. Wala ng ulit ulit ok, na gets mo bako?"
Hindi nagsalita ang binata pero ngumiti ito saka tumango sa kanya. Hinawakan nyang kamay nito, saka pinagsiklop sa kamay nya. Seryoso syang tumingin sa mga mata ng binata bago nagsalita.
"Thank you for your patience & endless amount of support. thank you for being around as l go through the journey that is self love. no amount of words could ever do you justice. what l feel for you is so much more than that; it’s strong, it’s empowering, it’s real. I don’t think l’ll ever be able to express it the way that l want to, but maybe that’s the magic of it all. I think l find comfort in knowing that l have something that cannot even be put down on paper perfectly accurate. Thank you for helping me learn how to help myself. thank you for all the nights you’ve stayed up comforting me when the thoughts running through my mind weren’t so pretty. I cannot even fathom how amazing you are and how lucky l am to have such an incredible life partner. you are the one l want to spend all of my days with - and even that alone excites me, l never thought l would be able to say that about anyone. Thank you for your constant reassurance and being one hell of a listener. there’s nothing sweeter than consistency. I can assure you there’s no one else l'd rather share every detail of my life with. all of my favorite things become so much more enthralling once shared with you. I have never felt more safe and at peace in my entire life than l have with you. your words are gentle enough to stick with me. when l lack the motivation to get up some mornings, l think of the way you would encourage me. I think of the way you would kiss my forehead and smile at me and tell me how you’re proud that l'm still here. You would tell me that my feelings are valid & how you’ll be around no matter what. those words alone would be more than enough to make all the pessimism fade away. I’ve never really felt emotionally stable - it’s always been something l’ve had to work on, but that’s definitely improved since you’ve been around. thank you for loving me enough to allow me to embrace my independence yet love you more than anything at the same time. You have impacted my life in more ways than you’ll ever realize and l am endlessly grateful. I have learned so much from you in what seems like such a short period of time and l am so eager to continue. Sometimes l struggle with my work but you’re always right there to inspire me and get me back on my feet. thank you for being you. I am so lucky to love you and have the opportunity to grow with you. there’s not a day that goes by where l don’t recognize all the wonders that you are. I cannot wait for everything that life has in store for us. I love you Blaire."
Mamasa masang mga mata ni Blaire matapos marinig ang mga nakakabagbag damdaming salita ni Star. Sinapo nyang magkabilang pisngi nito saka masuyong hinalikan ito sa noo.
"I love you not because you are cute, not because you are funny. I love you not being fake, I love the smile on your face, you stay true, you don't pretend to be something you're not and that's one of the things that makes you hot, you are you, and this is the reason that I love you."
"Naks naman! Di talaga nagpatalo hahaha."
" Syempre, ako pa ba? Oh, tara na."
"Saan"
"Mag honeymoon na tayo."
"Sira!" Hinampas nyang dibdib ng binata at ng dipa makontento kinurot nyang tiyan nito. 'Tigas hmm' "Pakasalan mo muna kaya ako, tapos magha honeymoon tayo kahit saan mo gusto, hahayaan kitang mag desisyon, pramis!"
"Sus, hindi ako naniniwala hahaha."
"Hoy, bawal judgmental."
"Sana all may lovelife..!"
Sabay na napalingon silang dalawa sa grupo ng kababaihang nakatingin at nakangiti sa kanila.. Kinawayan ni Star ang mga ito sabay sabing...
"Dadating din ang kaforever nyu girls... Kaya fighting!"
'Storbo' Hinila ni Blaire si Star palayo sa lugar na yun.. Malapit na sila sa kotse nya ng marinig ang sigaw ng mga kabataang nagkakasayahan..
"Maniniwala na kami sa forever... Fighting!"
Natatawang napapailing na lang si Blaire habang pinagbubuksan ng pintuan ng kotse si Star, na kumakaway pa sa mga ito. At ng makaupo na sa passenger seat ang kasintahan, kinurot nyang pisngi nito.
"Lakas mong makahawa talaga.. haha."
"Syempre! Forget mo, Star ang name ko?"
"Meaning?"
"It means .. you can wish upon a star! Gets mo?"
"Haha.. Yeah gets ko!"
