I saw myself at the edge of nowhere beneath a very odd tree. White leaves were falling from it that gave me an eerie sensation. I was like inside a 90's television. Everything was in black and white.

My gaze landed on the guy beside me. At that moment, I realized that I was not alone.

Everything has no color except me and him. It felt weird especially when he touched my cheek softly and I felt the warmth of his hand.

I was lying on the grass with him, captivated by his peculiar eyes. Those pair of eyes was green as emerald stones, fascinating and deep as if it can pierce through my soul. Hindi ko mai-alis ang tingin ko sa kaniya.

"Different worlds are not enough to keep us apart."

I stared at his emerald-colored eyes as he said those words to me. Nalalanghap ko ang mabango niyang amoy sa lapit ng distansya namin sa isa't-isa.

His face was blurry. The only thing that I could see clearly are his eyes; those eyes that express more than one emotion. Eyes that sparkle the same way the fireflies danced around us. Kulang na lang ay makita ko ang kaniyang mismong kaluluwa sa ipinapahayag ng kaniyang mga mata.

Nakangiti ako sa kaniya habang nakahiga kami sa damuhan, sa ilalim ng buwan.

Kahit halos sumabog na ang puso ko sa samu't-saring emosyong nararamdaman ko, mas nangingibabaw pa rin ang isang tanong.

Sino ang lalaking ito?
