lost kid i marry

And i've been falling in love with you more each passing day.

Today of all days a simple yet grand gesture, Iimagine you braving the commuting jungle that is Metro Manila, asking kind old ladies and brusko bus conductors for directions. I can imagine you waiting for me as the coffee shop is about to close, wondering where to go next, walking in the rain to the nearest 24-hour fastfood you swore not to eat in. 

Of course, I'll ask that you imagine me inside Halle, cringing each time a huge bus would pass by and fearing that the final tidal wave of muddy flood water would reach high enough to stall her. I'll ask you to wait a bit longer, praying to all the gods to suck out the flood and stop the rain. 

In the middle of all this, I remember why I proposed the first time. And I remember why there's no deadline at all. 

Because when all my prayers have been answered and I've found the best treasure I could have in the whole world, it would be petty to measure time in terms of how long we've waited or how much we're wasted looking for it.

You simply were worth it.
