Dear Roxandra,
It’s
been almost three years from now when I first saw you. I can’t even figure out
how delightful I am since it’s my very first time to step up in this institution
as a freshman yet, your beauty is the one who captured my hungry eyes.
I
remembered the day when you startled my trembling world. It was the 23rd
of May 2011, exactly a month before your 13th birthday when I first
met an appealing young girl. If my memory serves me well, you’re in a green
shirt with a shade of yellow – this caused too much bewilderment on my part of
whether you’re a sophomore or a newbie like me. From that very moment, I can’t
help myself but to stare at you. Despite several people roaming around which
blocked my sight, I still find a way to keep my eyes on you.
Unfortunately,
I wasn’t able to see you again. The horde had gone crowded and crowded as we
inch the final day of school maintenance week. I was in deep melancholy and
desperation, for I won’t be looking at your dazzling charm again. I have waited
for you for so long ‘til the classes began. Day by day, I was desperately
hoping to see you, but I failed. I thought you were just a companion of a
newbie, but I can’t imagine how ‘cause you look like a cool, teenage girl with
the most stunning look; or you’re maybe a sophomore. Of course, as a freshman,
I keep on hesitating to go upstairs just to sneak a look at every quarter to
see you. I don’t even know your name.
But
it was September when I realized that we were just under the same sun. In fact,
you were just right there adjacent to our quarter. I’m from Nitrogen and you’re
from Oxygen. I was totally delightful that when I got home, I rushed to open my
laptop and checked out my Facebook to add you. You accepted me right away. That
was the time when I can say that I’m the most blissful man in this world.
From
that very moment, we always talked to each other every single night. In fact,
we didn’t last a night without having a single chat. And it was the 3rd
of October when you actually filled up my senses. Wanna know why? ‘Cause that
night was when we had our longest conversation of three hours and 24 minutes.
Yes, I keep a record of those, but those were just part of history.
But
my gladness and delight had turned out to be doomed as someone walked in your
life which startled your world the way you startled my world before. You were
easily hooked up and captivated by him. If I remembered it right, it was
October 15 when he first mentioned your name in front of us.
“Guinoo…
‘yung crush mo sa O,” he mentioned in jest.
“Sino?”
I replied, as if I don’t know anything.
“Guinoo,
‘yung artista sa Channel 2,” he stated.
“Ah!
Okay… oo, siya nga… siya na nga,” I replied with delight.
But
that simple talk would change the world. And yes, you fall in love and so he
did. In fact, it was 11-11-11 when we had an educational trip. Unfortunately,
we’re not in the same bus. I was with the guy whom you loved and I can notice
that he didn’t even keep his phone all day long. He was texting you and you
replied as well. That very moment, I felt a sign of love affair.
And
I was right. MARCH 27, 2012 turned out to be your MOST SPECIAL AND MEMORABLE
DAY. I won’t be mentioning why, ‘cause it’s prithee obvious.
In
fact, your relationship had gone stronger as we set off to Baguio on the summer
of 2012 to attend a youth seminar camp for almost a week. It seemed that there’s
no single minute of the day when you’re not with him.
Despite
those sweet moments that you cherished, still I am here waiting to be loved.
But all I can do is to wait, but I guess it’s all over.
I
tried to forget you, but the feelings from within are still persisting. Yes, I’m
here once again, asking for your love – not because you’re single again, but to
mend your broken heart and be here to love and cherish you much more than how
he did.
Now,
I’ll ask you, “Could you be my one and only?”
Love,
Robin
