Best friend ko si Reeve since... forever. But when I was six and he was ten, his family had to go back to London. Before he left, he promised me that we would remain friends no matter what. Mahirap sa una. Pero habang tumatanda kami, nagaadvance din naman ang technology.
Fourteen years later, meron nang Viber, Wechat at kung anu-ano pa! Keeping in touch with him became as easy as breathing and we constantly updated each other about the happenings in our lives.
But we had two rules: 1) No sending each other pictures through email, Facebook or Twitter and no Facetime or Skype. Why? Because we promised we'd see each other again someday and we wanted to make that moment special. 2) We'll never keep any secrets from each other. Number 2, was a promise I kept but it seemed that Reeve had a lot of secrets. Hindi naman gaanong big deal para sakin. Even if he had secrets, he'll still be my best friend.
But was 'friendship' really all there was? Or was there more? Perhaps, what we had was actually a long distance-love affair and that distance is just a number?

May feelings na laging nandiyan, nakaabang kung kailan magpapapansin. Nakaabang kung kailan ako titisurin sa mga pamilyar na kanta, lugar, at salita. Magpapaalala sa isang mukha na hindi ko naman gano'n kakabisado pero pamilyar. Magpapaalala sa mga dating pakiramdam.
Malalaman mo raw kung sino ang The One That Got Away mo kapag narinig mo 'yong salita at nakaalala ka ng iisang tao lang; nakatisod ka ng mga dating pakiramdam; nangulila ka sa mga nakaraang saya; nakaalala ka ng mga pamilyar na sakit.
Sabi, time heals wounds at distance makes one forget. Bakit parang hindi naman effective? Bitbit ko pa rin lahat ng what if. Hindi pa rin ako makatakas sa maraming sana.
Ako ba ang bumitiw o siya? Tapos na ba kami talaga?
Ang sarap magtanong kaso...wala nga palang kami noon.
