To the guy 1.) Who has been here for me for seemingly countless days 2.) Who bailed me out of the "bitter book club", took away all the frigidness, and brought back to life my long-dead cheesiness and genuine sense of affection 3.) Who never fails to surprise me with his chivalry, surprise visits, sweet notes I find everywhere(specifically in my planner, columnar notebook, side table, pencil case, novels and how could I forget this one, inside the Cinderella plastic bag along with my party dress which we bought during that special day. That of which my friends tell me why I conspicuously fell in love). And the love letters! Let's admit it, this is LOVE meets SHAME. You can count with your fingers the guys you know who still write them. It's just so... radical. Yet it has a great impact on a normal teenage girl's crushing-heart. Despite his indiscernible, puny handwriting, I felt jiggly all over from constantly receiving them (considering he snail mailed two of those). 4.) Who crashes into our house when I'm sick only to take care of me and see if I'm okay, knowing I wouldn't allow him to because it's too much effort to travel an average of two hours just to reach me. I could still handle myself, as far as I know, I wasn't dying. Besides, I look hideous when I'm sick. 5.) Who despite our distance (since he stays in Manila during weekdays to lessen transportation problems in going to school) proved evidently that he remains faithful. 6.) Who (in relation to number 4, about looking hideous) tells me I'm beautiful and how lucky he is to have me, at times when I'm absolutely make-up free, with frizzy, uncombed hair while wearing loose rag-like clothes I feel so comfortable wearing at home. I can tell he was trying to buoy me up, but still I feel he means it let alone the truth. 7.) Who never gets turned off by my awkward actions, and occasional weird-om. 8.) Who tolerates my mood swings, PMS, and unpredictable attitude like he's carrying the patience of the most virtuous man alive. When we're both throwing a fit out of some argument, he wouldn't last half a day ignoring me. He's the kind to condone my intolerable acts, and when I persist on getting angry, he'll do everything it takes for us to be okay again, and never did he fail to make my heart melt each time. 9.) Who desperately tries not to get me bored, to the point that he saved topics in his draft box, just so he could initiate a conversation topic after topic without running out of things to talk about 10.) Who cried (HAHA) when I complained about feeling something's missing in our (I hate saying the word for no-good reason but nothing else would fit this statement better) relationship, and when he felt lonely about being away from me as if we're light-years away. 11.) Who tries to be close to my family, and won them over eventually. 12.) And to even the odds, he shows me off to his family and friends while holding my hand, like he's the most proud guy in this lifetime. 13.) Whose embrace is the most comforting thing in the world. 14.) Who kisses me on the forehead everytime we see each other. I know it's unlikely for some, but for me, it's highly more romantic than a passionate lip lock. 15.) Who marries me in all social networking website accounts we have in common. HAHA. 16.) Who often gets jealous which has an unbelievably rainbow-y side. He tells me "I trust you, but I'm just so afraid to lose you". That alone compensates everything. 17.) Who tries to please me relentlessly, changing the way something used to be just so it would turn out the way I want it to. 18.) Who's also my best friend, the one who listens to my problems and even gossips. We're attached at the hip, so close that there's no sense of awkwardness anymore. 19.) Who clips my picture on his bedroom wall, and kisses me goodnight through it when he misses me. 20.) Who worries so much when I go to nightouts that he waits for my text and doesn't sleep until I reach home (which is probably only a few hours to sunrise) 21.) Who made me feel like the most loved and cared for person, which is one of a girl's melodramatic dreams. 22.) Who never lets a minute pass without making me feel he loves me. 23.) He might not be that hunky and all-sporty athlete, the ultimate super-popular campus crush girls would slap faces and pull each other's hair for, the versatile musically inclined guy who can serenade or do hip-hop, the adventurous guy who can take you to places where boredom doesn't exist or that guy who's been bathing in money and luxury cars. I've been dreaming of them for too long while the simple, a little bit of everything guy's right in front of me. How he made me feel was something any other guy could never do, which makes him so much better than all those dream guys combined. After almost half a year, I still have no regrets, and I never will. I know, I got the best.
Since I wrote this feeling high on ardour and inspiration as if I'm on cloud nine, you might think I sugar-coated things and went blind on the darker side of certain scenarios. WRONG! Twenty-three reasons, and still I feel I understated all that he's given me. Indeed, words are not enough.
I LOVE YOU JP :">
P.S. He's only four days older than me, which means I'm having my birthday by mid-next week. I don't know how I'm going to celebrate. It's only my 17th anyway (YES, I'm only turning 17 and often the "youngest lass in class", for some reason I went a little advanced). If my day of the year goes well, I'd probably spill the details. Bye!
