A letter of longing

To that someone who will never be replaced,

I sat beneath the star-spangled sky watching you. You're laughing with your friends, cracking silly jokes with joy written all over your face. You're happy indeed and indeed you've missed them.
It's been a long time since you have left. I missed your laughter, those eyes of yours that held all the beauty in the world and our moments, such memories filled with endless wonder. We could have died of happiness, or at least I could have.

Now you're back. Truly my prayers have been answered, that those long cold nights of crying were not in vain. It's sad though, how you forgot about me, how you ignored my presence, how I had to steal glimpses of you, how I sit here, here under this thick, moonless, black canvass craving for your attention.

I guess I have no more room in your heart. I guess all the roles in your little theater show have already been taken, that happiness is only a state of mind, a phony dream, a trap of wonderful promises. Still, I'll leave a space for you in my heart, in case you'll need me, in case you'll return.

lucas said...

hays... nakakalungkot naman. people leave and sometimes they come back... but not really. they're just there inflicting pain from withered scars of the past, searing to the present.

Mommy Dharlz said...

CHIKLETZ: Haaaay, sulat pa lang yan imaginin mo ung pakiramdam

KUYA LUCAS: OO at naalala ko ung post mo na isa sa mga pinaka favorite ko, ung RED LIGHT.

MOMMY D: opo... haaay kahit masakit pero I guess ganun tlga kasi ganun rin naman si Jesus kahit nasasaktan xa satin patuloy parin xa sa pag love

VHEENY: I stopped hoping that my friend will come back na, ang pinagppray ko na lang eh maging happy xa at bumalik ng tuluyan kay God.

Victoria said...

Eli said...

BECS: sulat pa lang nakakadepress na, imaginin mo ung naramdaman ko nun. yees

Mang Paul said...

ayos lang 'yan!...

ganun talaga...may mga nawawala at may dumadating din nman..

who knows di ba?...just hope and pray na kahit hindi xa bumalik seu, at least maging ok xa at makakilala rin kay Lord!

Eli said...

MANG PAUL: Grabe, yun na yun ang nasa isip ko. Hindi ko man hinihiling na bumalik ung closeness namin I'm praying to God na he will reveal himself to my friend and pagpalain xa.

lucas said...

yeah... i remember the inspiration when i decided to write the red light post. people leave but sometimes it's good... there's a reason for everything and i believe that.

---

yeah... it's not surprising that we get connected to what we write. i mean it's our thought and our feelings that forged the words to make them... thanks :)
