POST INSPIRED BY AN ARTICLE WRITTEN BY ONE OF THE BEST BLOGGERS I KNOW, ANNA OPOSA
I will take care of you.
I will fetch you anywhere, anytime, because every time spent with you are time well spent.
I will introduce you to my family. Yes, I know they will tell awkward stories about me when we were young and I know you’ll never look at me the same, but I won’t care because I want you to know every part of me and my story.
I will introduce you to my friends. We’ll have a videoke party at my house; I’ll cook for you, barbeque style. We’ll sing at the top of our lungs, my friends will not intimidate you, nor will they be, with you, they will accept you and will consider you as part of our circle. I know they would ask you to sing and perhaps they’ll ask me too, please forgive my out- of- tune voice, but I’ll still sing for you anyway. My friends will tease us until they’ll get bored with our story, just let them, because they’re just happy for us.
I want to meet your family. Don’t worry; I’ll be in my best behavior. I want to get to know you more through them, I want to know what it’s like to live with you, I want to share with them how wonderful of a person you have become and how lucky they are to have you as their child. I want to talk to you siblings and play with them. I want to be close to them because I will consider them family, and hopefully they would too, with me.
I want to meet you friends and get to know them. I want to befriend them because I know they are important to you. I want to assure them that I would take care of you and I would never hurt you.
I want to go backpacking trips with you, I want to explore Palawan, scuba dive in boracay, mountain climb in mount Pinatubo, site seeing in Singapore… anywhere with you. I want take pictures of us, vain shots since we’ll travel alone, take picture of you while you sleep at night, book hotels and travel packs, but you don’t have to worry because I would keep my promise to your family that I would never take advantage of you.
I am not a perfect person, so please forgive my shortcomings. Forgive me if I would be late sometimes, or if I won’t be able to accompany you to some of your commitments but I assure you that I would if I could.
I know there would be times that we’ll have some misunderstandings, but please be patient with me. I hope you could understand my situation and I hope you could forgive me if I wronged you.
I want to spend time doing nothing and just hang out anywhere with you, embrace you while we sleep in the afternoon siesta, I want to see your face when I wake up in the morning and when I sleep at night, or if not, I want to at least hear your voice.
I want to surprise you everyday. Bring you flowers, food, anything you like, I want to be part of your world because you’re the center of mine.
I want to be there when you need someone to talk to, when you’re afraid to know if you passed your test or really, anything! I just want to be there for you.
I will think of you in every moment and I would be inspired to do better in my job. People would get bored with me because all my mouth will speak are thoughts of you, of how special you are, of how unworthy I am to have you yet you’re still with me, of how wonderful it is to have you in my life.
I just want you to know that,
They will think that I am baduy or even cheesy, but I won’t care, because I know that I am grateful to finally met someone who would complete the gaps in my fingers and hold my hand tight.
