You

Sunday
4th of Oct.

Dear You,

    Today is Sunday. Usually, I start my day by making breakfast for the kids then supervising everyone is getting ready for the mass. Living with the nuns taught us about God and all. We exercise prayers before and after we eat or before and after we sleep,  we pray Angelus every 6 o clock in the evening and most importantly,  we went to church every Sunday.

    This day will be my day off at work so I'm always at HH helping the chores like doing some laundry, gardening in the small fruit and vegetable patch at the back of the house or supervising the kids while they play at a nearby park. Then I end my day with daydreaming about you in my small bed late at night.

    You. I remember when we were in 4th grade, you were always tall in all of the boys at school. Tall, a little lanky but good looking nonetheless. They want you to be friends with them that's why you were always surrounded by both boys and girls.

   You always display that friendly smile of yours. Looking back I think I didn't saw you frown or got angry at anyone. Are you an angel? It's what I think of you sometimes because you're like an angel.

   Anyway, Suzy Gray gave you a pack of gummy worms excitedly. I smiled widely because of her expression next. She was pouting because you shared all of them with your friends! You just took one piece and gave them out to others. That's how selfless and considerate you are.

    I also remember when you start competing in swimming races in and out of our school. You were good because you always won and sometimes came second or third place. You don't brag when you won or get annoyed or sad when you don't win. That's another thing I noticed about you. Its as if you just swim because you love swimming and not because of the award/fame it brought.

    Are you a merman (male mermaid)? That's what I think of you sometimes because its as if you just glide in the water effortlessly. You see,  I always watched in the sideline when you have a match in our school. Sad to say I cannot go to any of your matches outside the school but in my heart I believe that you will win and I'm always with you not in presence but in thought.

    When we were to graduate in primary school,  I was sad because I thought that you will go to a faraway place to study in middle school. Being you came from a wealthy family, I just assume that you will attend a private school.

   On the first day of freshman year, I was sad while wandering the hallway to our gym because there is a freshman homecoming assembly. Much to my surprise, you were there with your dazzling smile while watching the other students while piling inside the gym. That's the first time I have seen you with Steve and Louis together. And that's my first time to feel jealous with the girls hitting on you - may it be freshman or even some senior girls.

   Where am I at that time? 5 rows up your seat. You are near yet so far.
