Dear Ace,
How are you? I hope you're fine. Time flies so fast that the minute you just stand its like you've been standing there for a year. You remember the time at the beach, when you first held my hand? It was the time you said you like me. I won't lie, I also like you very very much. You are my inspiration in everything. Remember on our first date as a couple? You spilled your drink on my dress. I told you that it was okay, but you still insisted to buy me a new one. It was also our very first fight. Hahaha I can't help but laugh thinking about that. People looking at us while we were yelling at each other. But the most unforgettable part was when I was sitting on a bench brows furrowed then I saw you 6 feet away waving your white hanky with three roses on your hand. You came closer, and all I can do was stand up without breaking eye contact as you walk closer and closer until our lips met.
Our first kiss
When you ended the kiss, a smile just formed on my lips my heart was beating so fast I can even feel my cheeks heat up so I hugged you. Tight. Your chest vibrated telling me that your chuckling. I was embarrassed but at the same time happy. You hugged me back and whisper "I'm sorry, I love you" then you kissed my forehead. Very romantic if you asked me. It was one of the best days of my entire life, though we standing in front in the middle of a place full of people, some staring at us others were busy with their lives, but who cares?! As long as I'm with you.
Remember after graduation you told me a company gave you a job offer in New York, I was happy for you then. Really, it was a very big opportunity. But you told me you won't accept it. I asked you why. You said "Pag tinanggap ko yun, kailangan kitang iwan dito" the thought hit me but I remained positive, that's why I said "Love can wait Ace, I can wait. Think of this, you working for our future. I wait for you." I can still manage to smile tho with a heavy heart. You said nothing but pulled me to a hug then you kissed my forehead.
Three days had passed, and I heard you accepted the offer and you have to leave as soon as possible. I'd be a fool if I tell you I won't miss you, by just thinking of you leaving its like half of me was fading in oblivion. So I thought of making the most of the days while you're still here. By my side. You also did that, everyday we would always date after work, having lunch together, cuddling during weekends like it was the last.
Stepping foot at the airport was like stabbing myself with a dagger. The more steps, the more stabs. You held my hand very tight as we make our way out of the car. I waited for you as you are unloading the trunk. You stand in front of me with your luggage on your right hand carrying it. You drop your load and came after me, giving me a very tight hug. My eyes started to tear up. I won't lie no more, I don't want you to go. You loosen the hug and faced me. Your crying.
I don't know what to do.
I sensed that you wanted to say something, but you stayed silent.
The moment I was about to break the ice, you started talking.
"Bell, you know how much I love you to the point that I can even jump off a cliff just for you to love me back." I hit your arm in a playful way. Then you chuckled.
"But I already love you Ace"
"I know, my charms worked on you." He said playfully. We laughed. Then his face became serious.
