~Message in the Bottle~

Nakita ko ang bagay na to na palutang-lutang sa Pasig River... Alam kong hindi 22o ang Genie pero dinampot ko pa rin dahil sa laman nito... isang sulat na hindi ko mainintindihan pero natityak ko ang kahalagahan ng nilalaman dahil sa marginal note na ito: The letter should be delivered to the recipient by all means because the fate of the world is at stake....

kaya naman naisipan ko i-post dito baka sakaling high-tech na ang recipient at mabasa nya rin eventually... The letter goes like this:

Ms. Capulet,

I don’t know where to start… In the same manner that you didn’t know also where to end our game back then… You didn’t even notice that it has ended, did you??…

You are under this impression that all this time you’ve been unfair to me… Though I assured you that you have not, you insisted to put all the blame on yourself…You said you’re being haunted by the thoughts of the past… That you have this lapse in judgment and flaws in your decisions… you are now trying hard to redeem your blunder…

Do you remember that day when we exchanged our farewells???.. You even cried with remorse then, didn't you??… according to you, those tears are for me… those tears elucidate that somehow you couldn’t afford to lose one like me… though, I can’t rely on your word, part of me says I should… but only one thing was certain for me then… you chose him over me…

You probably have no idea that when you struck me with your dagger of love, you left an unfathomable wound on my chest that it stopped my blood from running through my veins… My heart ceased functioning since… My eyes started to see nothing but blacks and whites… I couldn't hear the bird chirping or the waterfalls flowing… I couldn’t smell the fresh air in the morning so as the aroma of the coffee I’m sipping… I couldn’t touch the feathers on the angel’s wings… because you took away my emotions… I felt numb… I felt as if you placed me in that dismal prison sealed… feeble...helpless… alone...

But what you have seen is the opposite instead...

I tried to live in the most possible normal way that I could… I wanted to show you that what you did has actually never fucked me up... That my heart never halted from beating... I still got a long trip to travel in the first place... and I need to go on...

Not so long since I realized that I shouldn't have given you up that easily... I forgot to look myself in front of the mirror that I have not seen my deficiencies... you taught me this lesson: You wouldn't realize the importance of the thing you have unless you lost it...

Fate intervened...there you are at the opposite end of the road... waiting.... even you are not expecting that we are about to meet at the intersection... according to you, your feet unconsciously brought you there... now you are asking me if I will be going with you on you next journey???....

Yes, I will...

Mr. Montague

tsk tsk.... anu daw un??....
