you came into my life at a time when i was crazy enough to allow myself to hold a torch for someone who already moved on and was in love with someone else.
you came and doggedly decided you wanted to stay.
you came and pretty much made my sides ache laughing at your jokes, good thing that in the six years we have known each other i have yet to develop acute appendicitis.
you came and just stayed there, even through those days i didn't want you to.
you came and started to unsettle my sense of fierce independence that there was actually a time i was much like a babe fresh out of the womb, unable to alight from the jeepney without your outstretched hand to steady me -- thank the good lord that was over. you actually turned a leaf and saw that there is still some living apart we both need to do so as not to lose our individualities in this togetherness.
you came and just stayed there, through my imperfections and mood swings.
you came and promised me a tomorrow. you know what makes that promise more beautiful? because you are working very hard on that promise today to make that tomorrow a reality ... eventually.
you came and stayed and loved me every day for the past six years.
this is your special day, your birthday? what can i give you back to show that i do appreciate your coming into my life and more than that, for staying in it?
i love you.
i thank you for "not letting me get rid of you."
i love you.
happy birthday, my baba.
and may all the world who has access to this blog know that, too. nyehehe
