Blaming the Flames

First installment of Elementary series.

Flames.

The first thing that comes to people's mind is fire, beautiful but painful. It represents a sense of superiority and control. Many cultures view flame as a symbol of wisdom and knowledge.

But for the innocent, it is just a game. Kids who are trying to make chances by listing their names and their crushes', finding out if they'll match.

And I was hooked with that game, as it says we were perfectly matched. That's where I was holding to. Dala-dala hanggang sa paglaki ko. Until I realized what I've done during elementary days. I was just playing with that game but I ended up in pain.

Haeckel Jireh Aragon was my ultimate crush, my first love. And maybe the only love.

A decade after, we've met again. He was there, in front of me looking fine.

While I was still living with the past as years passed by, was not successful to move on.

I took the risk until it hurts so bad. And I am putting all the blame to the flames.
