If you ask me, which would I pick between love and life
My answer is you.
It's not even part of the selection but I choose you.
Why?
Because you are the love of my life.
It's crazy how you consume my waking days
And it's also crazy because I crave for you to visit my dream.
It's crazy that every morning I wake up, ikaw agad yung hinahanap ng mga mata ko.
It's crazy that every time I brush my teeth, you always stands next to me while you brush your teeth then we playfully nudge each other until we're done.
It's crazy that every time I sat on my chair in the kitchen---eating my breakfast, nakikita kita palagi na kumakain din ng masaya habang kaharap mo ako.
It's crazy that every time na sasakay ako ng bus papuntang school, I turn to look beside me and you are sitting next to me while your head is leaning on my shoulder as we share my earphones and we listen to music.
It's crazy that every time I'm at the library, you always finds way to join me because just like me, you love reading.
It's crazy because kahit simpleng ngiti, simpleng paghawi mo ng strand ng buhok mo na nakaharang sa iyong mukha, sa simpleng pag-aayos mo ng gamit at paglagay nito sa bag papunta sa locker mo
Mas lalo akong nahuhulog sayo.
But you know what is more crazy?
It's crazy that I'm so in love with you, yet, you don't turn to my direction.
You don't see me in the eye,
You don't share space with me,
I don't even know if you know me.
Every part of my life, my routine, lagi kitang isinasama kahit na hindi mo ako kasama.
It's creepy, it's weird, it's stalkerish but I don't care, I love you.
I'm obsessed with you.
Kaya nang malaman ko na you have a boyfriend, na sinagot mo yung pangit na lalaking matagal ng may gusto sayo, I know I have to do something.
"Ughhh.." Tumingin ako sa lalaking nakatali sa may upuan habang may dugo sa kanya ulo.
"You're awake," he turn her head to me. "That's good." I stated. He squint his eyes to see me clearly because I'm hiding in the dark wearing a disguise.
"Sino ka? Bakit ako nandito?" He slightly yelled. I emerged from the dark, confident that he won't recognise me because I'm wearing a mask and a cap, and a hoodie.
I took his phone out of my pocket which I took from him kanina. I pulled a chair towards him then placed it in front of him.
I sat on the chair the stare at him with no emotion. "Break up with Aiah then I'll let you go." I lowered my voice to make him feel I'm dead serious.
"What?! Sino ka ba?! Bakit ko naman gagawin yung gusto mo?" Galit na sabi niya.
"Break up with her or I will kill your family." I coldly stated not breaking eye contact with him.
