I love you for a million years

the delicate night sky gladly arrayed its wonders as the moon lit above our heads with painted stars upon it when we bid our farewells. it was in school where i learned the greatest lesson there is to know, to digest, and to ponder. while staring at your idle face on the descending stair case from where i was standing, an indescribable burning bosom of pathos and sheer joy appeased my doubtful heart.

for the past eleven months, i have grown to like you, care for you, and love you. everyday is like falling in love again and again. you mended my heart when it was badly pierced and cushioned my fall when no one was willing enough to catch me. your endearing grace and your untarnished love made me fall in an unfathomable realm of love and devotion with no certainty of being loved in return. you taught me how to love again and ransomed me from fear's grasp of failing. and now, i am embarking in my journey with you guiding me in every stroke of the oars.

it was suppose to be busy and loud at school yet, the dark quietude haunted me from the time being. i was waving goodbye to you, and you to me. i still want to lay my eyes on you for a little longer. i always wanted to be right beside you even though, i know for myself that never will come a time it will be granted. still, my eyes laid on you as if it was nailed. the happy feeling suddenly departed and an unexpected one arrived to rub away the latter.

i do not want you gone. i wish we could be like this for eternity. i have now developed the fear of solitude-of being alone and left behind. i am showered with your unconditional love second to none. with the sighing winds, i whisper that these wishes would reach the farthest ether. i do not want all of these to be just a sequestered happiness. i want this feeling to stay for a million years.

i was on the cab when i murmured a hymn with a lonely monotonous tune. i was sad for i am not certain what is ahead of us. i am bereft for this kind of feeling for such a long time and i have not felt anything like this before. and then, there was you. you are the one who filled up that empty space and patched holes in my heart.

we have been pestered by a bunch of trials; yet, we are still here, holding onto each other's hand. i always hoped for a happy ending, but this time, it is the least of my worries-for my love for you will simply not end.

am i lucky to have you? if your intentions are pure and what have you shown me in the last eleven months were true, indeed, i am lucky. if the contrary, i am still lucky, for you have let me experienced the joys and comfort of loving and being loved. and if you would ask me if i love you, i would reply with a straight face with no shade of doubt, "I love you for a million years..."

for my sole happiness. my nirvana. my shooting star.
