"Christmas will never be the same without you. My life will never be happier since you came."
Yes. I will never ever forget the exact words you always say. Those words that became my only remedy. Those words that became my only refuge. Those words and your invigorating voice that have always made my knees weak.
Remember the first day we met? Remember the first glance I made? You were damn beautiful! You're such a sweet piece of blessing especially made for me, only for me.
Your big round eyes. Your rosy cheeks. Your curly hair. Your sweet smile. You just got me there. You just got me with every single bit of your being.
A complete stranger. You're completely anonymous. But you were completely awesome. Have I told you those things? Have I told you how precious you are to me?
Things might not happened the way I planned it, but I thank all the heavens that conspired together to make things possible for us. I just wanted to feed my eyes with your beauty. But I ended up wanting more. I want you. Guess I have to make a way to be with you.
I bought you flowers before the mass ended that night. A mass for a Holiness that made Christmas possible. Funny how I managed to buy a dozen of roses and ended penniless that night.
I never thought that I'd be any happier celebrating Jesus Christ's birth. Christmas has always been an ordinary day for me. Well, not before you came. Are you some kind of an angel? You tell me.
Looking at those flowers within my grasp? It really scared the hell out of me! I don't know how to give it to you. I don't even know what to say. Can I even go near you?
Pulling all the courage I have, I started to walk towards you. And with every step I make, it felt like my world's turned upside down. Why are you even smiling? Wait. Are you even looking at me? Is this true?
"Hi," you smilingly said and I almost fainted in anticipation. See? A word from you is like a drug to me. I knew you felt how you made me breathless. You knew it all along. Who wouldn't? My actions did the talking, right?
And there, with a word from you, everything changed. I became a changed man. I became a man I never thought I could be. A man who never believed in miracles suddenly believed in angels. You are an angel. Yes you are. That's something you have to believe and you can't argue with me.
Christmas, it is. We started with so much color. Different dancing street lights in assorted color were our witness. They were the first to see how two strangers shared their first small talk. Their first smiles. Their first heart to heart confession.
We were both alone then. Both savouring the cold breeze of the wind by ourselves. And you just don't know how being alone on a Christmas Eve became the happiest event for me. For by being alone, I found you. I finally found someone who I would love to spend Christmas for forever.
Since then, I became happier. Seeing you every day is just something I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. I told you were the best Christmas gift I ever received, have I?
Your face is the last thing I see when I sleep at night. And your face is the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning. Funny as it seems, but only you can make me smile in the middle of a tiresome day. I'm always going home spent, but when I see you there, there outside my house, all of my worries just flies away together with the wind.
Loving you is the best thing I did. It will always be the thing that I will never ever regret. Never did I thought of leaving you. Even when you're the most impossible person to understand. Never did I thought of leaving you when it was the only choice to spare me from being broken.
I never knew what happened. I wish you have told me earlier. We were so happy then. You knew I love you. You knew I'll understand. You knew I will always be all ears, all eyes, all arms and everything just to make you happy. But why? Why, Lia? Why did you resort on carrying the burden all alone? I don't understand. I really can't comprehend.
Lia, have I told you how much I love you? Have I told you that you were the only one that made me happy? Have I told you that you're my only and will only be my one true love? I wish I have told you these things before. I wish I have always showed you how I feel.
I guess I have to leave now, Lia. It's again Christmas Eve. And guess what, I have with me the flowers I bought you before. Hope you could still see them, touch them, and smell them.
I'm also leaving a candle here. And together with this is a prayer. A prayer that I assume you'll be receiving together with the wind.
I love you, Lia. And I always will. Christmas will never be the same without you. But don't worry. I'll be leaving with a smile, 'cause I know you're up there, holding on to the promise we both made. We will always have each other every Christmas. The day we found love. The day we found each other.
