Mi Amore"
Hearing the birds tweeting under the calmly season, swaying leaves as the wind coolly blows, and hearing footsteps peacefully walking under a gloomy afternoon. Excitedly, he stood beside the railings wearing his genuine smile. A smile that can make his girl’s day feel better, can give thousands of butterflies, and make the young lady stare at him all day. He lovingly offers the flower to the girl.
“Hi My Sunshine” he sweetly said “I know it’s been 2 years and I promise you one thing right?” he stare at the beautiful view of the city. “Guess what I’m here again on our 7th-anniversary love” as the sun slowly sets in the sky, he smiles sweetly as he reminisces how he meets the energetic young lady on the rooftop of the hospital. He giggles while remembering it “I thought no one’s got to stop me from jumping at the rooftop. I’m was wrong because you are there, you got my back, Mi Amore. Knowing you purposely followed me because you overheard my conversation with my family.” Looking up at the sky that slowly turns to Yellow-orange because of the sun “Don't commit suicide because of the problem you are facing no matter how serious it is… I know it may sound common but life is too beautiful to take away… I’m here, you can share it with me Timothy, and I can be your secret if you will allow me just to stop you to jump!!…. That are the exact words you say to me that night as I annoyingly laugh at your words. You are so annoyingly cute Baby, I can’t help to tease you every day” He smiles sadly “Not knowing… You want to… you want to do it too…” his eyes become watery as he deeply remembers the memorable days and nights he shares it with the girl he truly loves. The late-night talks, the dinner dates, the corny jokes that the girl keeps throwing at the young man. How they confess their love under the celestial moon, whispering I love you to each other inside the room, under the blanket of the hospital bed. He slowly sees the girl’s smile, hearing the girl’s giggles and laughter, the girl’s comfort whenever the young man is down, the girl’s perfect imperfections that captivate his heart instantly. Remember the exact words he says before capturing the girl’s lips and officially becoming hers.
“My sunshine, Elizabeth. I know it’s been months but I want you to know how good your jokes are” the girl playfully pushes him “you’re annoying Bubba” he genuinely laughs “You’re being a sadist again Mi amore but seriously," he holds her hands as he stares at the beautiful girl in his eyes “I will tell you every minute how your jokes are good to hear even if it’s corny, I will not stop supporting you to your decisions, be in your arms whenever you feel low and scared, be there with you and give you flowers every day for you to know that you are beautiful even you are in your imperfections” he sees the tears that flow in his girl’s cheeks while saying the words that can give millions of butterflies to him “I Love You, Timothy”
“I’m not done yet you ruin it by crying again, honey”
“Yah!” She slaps you in your chest lightly. You both laugh loudly and minutes later he continues the speech as what she says
“Iza, I’ll be by your side no matter what, I’ll be there through your pain and suffering. I’ll be there cheering you as you fight your heart disease. I’ll be there as you awake, I’ll be there while you’re sleeping, guiding and protecting you from all monsters, whispering I love you in a way you won’t forget it. And now that I know you love me too, I won’t let you go. I’ll assure you that I’ll give you euphoria every time you are with me. Thank you for being my sunshine, thank you for protecting and guiding me months ago, and now, let me do does things for you, Mi Amore. Please allow me to be your Sun that means a new beginning and new hope to fight for another day to come. Elizabeth, allow me to be yours alone, be my girl for a lifetime” he feels the warm hug as he hears the sobs and whimpering of his girl “I would be glad to Bubba, even in another lifetime” with a lovely kiss the two hear the cheers and claps of their families. Under the celestial moon, Timothy becomes Elizabeth’s Sun and Elizabeth becomes his Moon that sees the secrets and tears they shared.
He keeps crying while seeing his girl in front of him. Showing how vulnerable he is as the sun keeps setting under the red-blue sky. Hearing the wind start to blow as if hugging him to give comfort but it was not working. He bites his lips to stop the sudden sounds that keep him from crying in mess. Remembering their last conversation under the bright blue moon. The place where he is standing now is the place where his girl slowly stops breathing. The supposedly happy and most memorable night for both of them.
“Please take care of her, this is her first time seeing the world for about 10 years,” her dad says to him, smiling and hiding the truth for the boy's wish.
“If you have to call me, please don’t hesitate Timothy” He nod as he took his lover’s hand to guide her to his car
“Yes doc, I’ll make a call immediately” the Girl who is on oxygen slowly hug the doctor.
“I’ll be fine mom, don’t bother us. We talk about this and I’m ready to do it now. I love you Mom and Dad” as if Timothy have a sudden hint, he knows what exactly the lady wants to say so he caresses his lover’s back at smiles happily
“Iza you will not die there, I assure you that” she just smile at you and kiss you softly
“I know you won’t leave me, MI Amore, I love you my sun”
“I love you too. Mom, dad. We’re going now” He just smile at them excitedly not knowing what could happen by this night
The surprise is now over while the two of them sitting on the bench. She’s hugging her lover while staring at the moon. “Love, if ever the moon were nowhere to be found, do you think the sun will travel around the world to finally see his moon?” timothy hug his moon
“If ever you, my moon, are nowhere to find, I, timothy Garcia will travel around the universe to find you, Mi Amore. I’ll find you no matter what” he hears Iza’s giggle “sweet talker”. He pulls out the hug to meet his girlfriend’s gaze. “I’m serious, I’ll never stop finding you, its equivalent to the love I feel for you Mi Amore” as he stares at his moon’s eyes, he sees sadness and loss of hope “Tell me, will you be ok if I say I’m giving up now? Will you be ok if I’m losing hope, will you be ok if I’m gone?” timothy instantly shakes his head. She connects her forehead to her lover’s. “Please honey, let me go” they are crying silently in front of the bright blue moon as their witness “I can’t Iza…I… can’t let it pass…. Please…. Please fight” he feels Iza’s cold hands in his hand. “You know I can’t go out right…. Sorry but… I’m going…to...say this...ss” he sees how Iza cries while deeply inhaling the air. Timothy holds his girlfriend’s shoulder because of the sudden out-of-balance. “Iza let’s go” but She is too weak to move because of sudden heart disease “I… I agree to…to come because…this is my last …. last day baby” the tears didn’t help timothy to stand up as he hears Iza’s weak voice “I…I’m letting you…go now baby” Iza’s clenching her chest as her tears flowing involuntarily. Her heart gave up, taking away his lover’s life slowly “I…I love you… Timothy”
“No, please No! Fight for us Iza please” she hugged him to give comfort in the last minute of her life “Promise me…to love someone else again…. Honey…please”
“I can’t!” and in a blink of an eye his lover’s soul was taken away by the one who looks at them up in the night sky
As the moon starts to cast the dark sky, he calms himself to speak to his lover. Timothy remembering every bit of it, keep staring at his lover’s tomb “I’m sorry Mi Amore… I’m sorry but I can’t keep my promise to you…. You will be always my Mi Amore Elizabeth” he painfully smile at the picture of Elizabeth Miranda, giving the man bittersweet memory to remember “Happy 7th anniversary Mi Amore, you’re my one true love sunshine. Until our next life Iza...” he walks out in front the tomb carrying the bittersweet memories he will never forget.
