it's time i grew up.
it's time i learned.

to my baby, my starling, my one and only,
please allow me to call you that for one last time.
thank you for all the times you've spent with me.
thank you for all the sacrifices you've made for me.
thank you for being tolerant with me all these while.
thank you for always being there for me, always knowing how to cheer me up.
thank you for smiling even when it was hard for you to put one up.
thank you for all the bits and pieces of things you made, bought for me.
thank you for saying yes, for giving me the chance to love you.
thank you for everything.
i love you, still.

it's amazing how sometimes people get so blinded, so lost, so pathetic,
when they lose something so precious to them.
so much so that they lose sight of everything else.
family and friends, the memories they shared, the joy and the sorrow,
all blinded.
but i thank god for how he made us to be.
to let time take us by,
and let us regain sight of what truly is important,
and heal us of the pain we thought was forever.

what has happened between us,
it's not something new to me.
i've been heart broken before,
i've been blinded and lost before too.
but none as painful as this.
none as overwhelming as this.
but then,
time still brought me thru,
for me to see things in a different light.

..
i guess i've grown up a little bit now. =p

it's amazing what promises do to people.
man makes promises all too often
that everyone loses sight of the significance in it.
and i too am guilty of that, i admit.
but now i see, how precious a promise is.
no matter how big or small the promise is,
it is still a promise.
when one makes a promise,
one must and will do whatever it takes to fufill that promise,
no matter what.
even if it costs him, his life.


i may have fallen about a dozen times too many before,
but believe me,
i will stand on my two own feet again,
and show you,
i am strong enough.
i will show you that my love for you is til the end.
and please don't feel bad for me being nice to you.
i'm doing all this not only because i really want to,
but it is because i made a promise.

the promise of my love,
for this lifetime,
and many more lifetimes to come.
