When She's Gone

Hindi ko maiwasang sisihin ang sarili ko sa mga nangyari.

Gusto kong magwala, pero alam kong walang maitutulong yun

I miss her laughter, her smiles, and everything about her.

Siya ang puso dito sa bahay ko. Without her this place means nothing.

Indeed the saying You'll know the value of something when it is gone when she left I realized she was all what's left to me.

Na realize ko iyon when I joined a retreat Divine Mercy at Poland...

Maybe ito yung purpose ng trial na ito para bumalik ang loob ko kay god.

I realized that I have a lot of wrong doings... I promised him itatama ko na ang lahat...

What is the point of discussing the past at paulit ulit na sisihin ang sarili dahil walang magbabago.

She took care of me when she was here, I miss her pati yung mga advice nya... I always find comfort in her arms...

What's you're problem?Mula pa yan kahapon.

Wala.

I know you have one... Hindi naman makakabawas sa pagkalalaki kapag nag share ka. Just so you know I'm always here to listen.

Then she smiled to me. Nag a-alinlangan ako noon but...

Ok lang kung ayaw mung sabihin I'm not forcing you. Pero nakakagaan sa loob pag nilabas mo yan kaysa kimkimin mo.

It was a long moment of silence when I finally got the courage to talk and open up for her.

It's my Dad's death anniversary yesterday.

She was a bit shocked and she nodded as a signal for me to go on with what I was telling.

Hindi ko na papahabain, my dad committed suicide because of my mom, iniwan nya kami para sa ibang lalaki.

Sinusubukan ko ang best ko not to cry.

It's okay to cry.

She said as she pulled and embraced me. Then she started patting my back. I didn't even realized that I was crying.

But there, in her arms I found comfort I never felt for a long time.

After almost 2 months after our wedding, I realized that I was starting to fall for her.

But just when everything was perfect, I learned that her father...

Was the reason why my dad died and why my mom left us.

Anger took over me.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko.

It was absurd loving and hating her at the same time.

But, none of these matter now. I realized she was innocent and she has nothing to do with what happened. But it was too late. Now that she's gone.

It took me almost 4 years to find her...

In fact I'm ready to go to where she is right now. I'll accept what this might bring me.

But I was even astonished that she was pregnant, scratch that,our little angel is almost 3 years old now.

It was a long ride, but when I arrived I immediately went to where she was living.

I saw her playing with a little girl.

I missed her

I was certain that she was my child.

When our gaze finally met.

She froze.

Fear was visible in her eyes.

And it hurts like hell... But I didn't care.. This time I will make it up to her.. to them...

Than I ran as fast as I could. When I was finally in front of her, I pulled her for an embrace... I got tongue tied but I managed to say.

I'm sorry.
