'Tonight, I realized that nobody’s lives really just fit together instantly — magically. As a matter of fact, love isn’t always enough to make things work. Just because you two are in love doesn’t mean things will now be happier than ever. You need to work smart and hard to prolong that happiness. It is essential to sacrifice some of your best pieces for hers to fit. You need to give up some of your oldest dreams so you can fully hold her hands. It’s really stupid and unbelievable, but who cares, right?
You love this i***t and this i***t loves you too. You know you two will be fine. Well, for the moment at least. Day by day, you must remember why you choose her and how she makes you happy even when sometimes you don’t realize that it is her that gives your gloomy days a little bit of sunshine. Choose her today, tomorrow and the rest of the days to come. Because maybe forever isn’t really “forever”. Maybe forever starts today and everyday.'
Nasa isang exclusive restaurant sila Griffin at Kissy. Habang nakaupo at naghihintay silang i serve ang order nila nakatitig lang si Griffin sa kagandahang nakaladlad sa harapan nya, hindi nya lubos maisip na sa kagandahang taglay ni Kissy nagawa pa rin nya itong lokohin at iwanan.
"Stop staring! your scaring me hmp."
Napangiti si Griffin sa sinabi ni Kissy.
"Baby Dragon, your so wonderful tonight"
"I know right! So stop flirting with me Baby Lizard."
"I’m amazed when I look at you. Not just because of your looks, but because of the fact that everything I’ve ever wanted is right in front of me. "
"Meganun! Hmmm.. I admit, I really miss how things used to be. But I can also admit, that I’ve accepted the fact that things have changed.. "
Titig na titig si Griffin kay Kissy, malaki na talaga ang ipinagbago nito, hindi lang ang panlabas na anyo higit sa lahat ang paniniwala at prinsipyo nito sa buhay. Napabuntung hininga pa sya bago nagsalita.
"I wish I could just stare at you. I just wanna admire how gorgeous you are. I know that not everyone thinks that you are but I swear I think you are perfect. I literally stared at you the entire video long and didn’t even realized that the video was almost over until there was the black screen and you were gone. I love to look at you. it makes me so happy. it makes my day. I feel better when I see you. I feel things when I see you. I wasn’t feeling well for over 2 years but you literally helped me getting better with just existing.. "
Huminto muna ito sa pagsasalita at tinapik ang dibdib. Nakita pa ni Kissy ang paggalaw ng Adams apple nito ng sunod sunod na napalunok si Griffin.
'Hmmm... He's really nervous haha.' Napapangiti na lang sya ng lihim.
"Ahm, I mean you don’t even know that I exist or you know about all these things I write while thinking about you. I’m just someone who thinks that you deserve everything. I don't know, you seem different. You seem so calm but still full of joy. You seem like a very talkative person but I also see someone who could listen to others for as long as needed. You don’t realize how amazing you are, do you? a 1 year gap that makes me lose all my hopes. 1 year that make me feel awful. I’m not even 24 yet and I literally romanticize you in every single way possible. 98 days left til my 25 birthday, but the 1 year gap won’t change. You will be 26. I wish you would know how much you mean to me. I wish you would know that you are way more than enough."
Inabot ni Griffin ang kamay ni Kissy na nakapatong sa lamesa, hinawakan nya ito at dinala sa kanyang labi, napapikit pa si Griffin ng masuyong halikan ito at makadama ng ligaya at ka kontentuhan sa sarili. Dumilat sya at napangiti ng makita ang maamong mukha ni Kissy na nakangiti rin sa kanya.
"You are so loved. by me and all your friends, all your friends seem so kind, warm-hearted, nice, grateful, precious. They all just suit you. They are perfect for you. I can also see myself in each of them, even in you. I can see some parts that remind me of myself. I see myself in you. in your friends. I don't know, I just see it which is so weird. that never happened before. I never was in love with anyone so I don't know what it feels like, but I just want to know you, know about your problems, your dreams, your life, everything you desire. I just wanna know you. I wanna listen to you. I wish I could show you how incredible you are."
Matapos yun sabihin ni Griffin kay Kissy pinagsiklop nito ang kanilang kamay.
"Baby Dragon, can I be your man again? Can we start a new beginning of our relationship, not as friends but lovers? Can we huh?"
Humigpit ang pagkakahawak ni Kissy sa kamay ni Griffin. Inabot nyang mukha nito, hinaplos ang pisngi, sunod ang mata, ilong at huli ang labi nito. Napangiti sya ng maalala ang mga nangyari nung nagkahiwalay sila ni Griffin.
"I have given you hundred reasons for You not to love me, and you have all the reason to give up on me but You still chose to not forsake me even when I don’t deserve Your attention.
I have closed my doors right infront of Your face but you still chose to adore and treasure me.
You have seen how undeserving I am but You’re still able to find reason to give me chance after another grace upon grace.
Your love never fails —always comforting, never lacking.
Your love chooses to find me in crowd even when I tried to walk out of Your sight.
Your love stands despite of my imperfection and nothingness.
Your love is always greater than my fears, my doubts and my sins.
And when I find it hard to love myself, there is You who always look at me, wiping all the shame and guilt, reminding me that there’s no pain too deep that Your love won’t heal.
And when I can’t even love myself, there is You who chooses to stay, despite of all the brokenness I can only offer, you utter “You are mine.”
Tumayo si Kissy at nilapitan si Griffin na nakatitig lang sa kanya habang may luhang dumadaloy sa mga mata nito. Umupo si Kissy sa kandungan ni Griffin saka masuyong pinunasan ng mga daliri nito ang pisngi ng binata, bagamat ito'y lumuluha malapad naman itong nakangiti sa kanya.
"Yes, Baby Lizard, We can be lovers and we are starting over, over again."
Hinalikan ni Kissy ang noo ni Griffin, yumakap naman ito ng mahigpit sa kanya at isinubsob ang mukha nito sa leeg nya. Marami mang pasakit at kabigoan sa buhay ang naranasan nilang dalawa sa huli silang dalawa pa rin ang itinadhana. They are...
'Meant to be.'
The couples that are meant to be are the ones who go through everything that is designed to tear them apart and come out even stronger than they were before. They don’t give up on each other or their relationship when they go through hard times, even if it’s the easy thing to do.'
