18 days, 14 hours, and 15 minutes
When I ask you “Masarap yung sinigang?”
and you replied, “Hi! thank you for accepting 🙂 “
and so I chat you back with “Welcome…to my world.”
Every 11 hours of the day, you greet me good morning.
I notice the consistency…
No one had done it to me before.
You don’t want to rush things because you believe
that we should guard our hearts first.
You don’t want to hurt me; I’m the reckless one.
Because you show me how to guard my heart,
I did it eventually.
I learned how not to depend on you most of the time.
I learned how to control my feelings and not tell green jokes.
You want to take it slow; that made me overthink.that you will not want me when we meet in person soon.
That overthinking leads to another form of guarding my heart.
It made me think about not falling in love during GTK.
But somehow you are telling me that you are sure.about your feelings by saying to others, “She’s my future.”
while showing them my photo on screen.
I don’t know when we will meet in person, or will it happen?
I don’t know what future we have.
I don’t know if you will keep your promise.
But this is one thing I’m sure of:
You teach me how to guard my heart very well.
Not taking me for granted and showing support
to my wants over time.
taking care of me even if we are miles apart.
Whatever happens in the future, I want to say,
Thank you, and God bless.
