Are you a selenophile?
I LOVE THE MOON
“Chris, would you stay if I'm no longer shining? If I'm no longer bright? Mananatili ka pa ba din sa tabi ko kung nawala na sa akin ang lahat? Or will you going to leave? " napataas ko ang paningin sa babaeng nasa aking harapan.
She's hugging her knees habang nakatingala sa kalangitan. The way her eyes reflected the stars above us made me marvel at how beautiful she is. There's a sad smile sa kaniyang maputlang labi but still, I can see hope through those starry orbs.
“What's with the question, baby?" tanong ko sa kaniya dahilan para mapayuko siya sa gawi ko.
Nakahiga ako sa kaniyang harapan and I used my elbow as a support to the ground. Umiling siya na tila ba gusto na lang niyang kalimutan ko yung tanong.
How lucky I am to have a woman like her in my life.
I love her and her flaws, her almost perfect light, her eyes, her lips, her touch.
I love my girlfriend.
And masaya ako na iniwan siya ng mga taong minsan din niyang minahal noon. Why wouldn't I be happy?
If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be able to meet such an amazing woman who is full of faith. And kahit na she's lack of affection minsan, it didn't stop me to love her.
If hindi niya kayang maging sweet, well, I can be the malambing person sa relasyon namin.
“I love you, baby. " I smiled at her.
She stared at me ng matagal-tagal as if she's trying to read the words inside my head. Go on, baby.
Read the poetic letters that has been written in my head ever since my heart yearns for you.
“Look at the moon. " saad ko sa kaniya dahilan para mapatingala siya sa buwang nasa kalangitan, “The moon had different phases, right? Minsan, its full moon katulad ngayon. Some days later it will only going to be a quarter. Sa susunod na mga araw, it will be new moon. And when its new moon, the moon will not have its light, di ba? "
Tumango siya, “You really love the moon, don't you?"
“I do. " I smiled, “I love the moon the way I love you. "
Kumunot ang kaniyang noo sa akin.
Natawa ako. I just love that facial expression of hers. I love how she looks curious everytime may sasabihin ako.
“You see, hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon ay mananatili kang nasa itaas. At alam ko yan, baby. I know that you have phases the way the moon does." bumangon ako sa pagkakahiga.
I reached my hand to her chin saka pinatingala siya sa akin. Namumungay ang kaniyang mga matang sinundo ang paningin ko. Damn!
How can she be so beautiful?
“On your full moon when you will shine brighter than anyone, mahal kita. On your quarters when medyo nawawalan ka na ng gana to be a torch in this world, I will keep on loving you. And on your new moon, when you will lose the light na palagi kong nakikita. When you will lose the light that I always find beautiful, I will even love you more." Mas lalong pumungay ang kaniyang mga mata, “I love you and your phases. I do love the moon everytime nakikita ko ito sa kalangitan. But I also love the moon even if nawalan ito ng liwanag minsan."
“Chris..." she murmured and bit her lower lip, “I love you too. "
“You are my moon, baby. Full or new moon, I will still love you."
I hope she knows that she is brighter than the moon right now.
I thought I will have a star. But guess what? Am I not blessed enough to have the moon?
Thank you for reading! 🧡
