BIVAMDVE
Sa isang lugar kung saan madami akong nakilalang tao, sa maliit ngunit malawak na sulok- madami akong nakilala na tao sa libo-libong tao na nasa iisang lugar nakakilala ako ng tunay na kaibigan, nakilala ako ng mga taong dapat pala ay hindi ko nalang kinilala dahil sa sobrang sama ng pagka-tao, nakilala rin ako ng taong nagpatibok ng aking puso- ngunit sa huli ay nag-sisi ako at sana pala'y hindi ko nalang nagustuhan.
But unexpectedly, I met someone who change my life.
I met him when I was in 6th grade. We were classmates. When I first saw him, I didn't know why my heart started beating so fast. I couldn't explain it in words, but I could feel that there was something different about him.
Noon hindi kopa naiintindihan ang nararamdaman ko sakanya ngunit alam kona may something akong feeling na kailan man ay hindi makukuha sa salita-kung hindi sa totoong nararamdaman.
It was when I realized that I had fallen deeply in love with him.
At first, I thought it was just a simple feeling. Maybe it was nothing. Maybe, eventually, I would forget about him. But as the days passed, I found myself noticing the little things about him. His smile, the way he talked, the way he treated people, and even the smallest moments we shared slowly became memories I never wanted to forget.
I never planned to fall for him. I never expected that someone I met in sixth grade would become someone I would remember for years.
I didn't know if he ever felt the same way. I didn't know where our story would lead. All I knew was that, somewhere along the way, he became someone special to me.
Someone I would remember even after the school year ended.
Someone I would still think about when everything had already changed.
And then, we went our separate ways.
We never crossed paths again.
Years passed, but a part of me still wondered what would happen if, someday, I saw him again.
Maybe our story was never meant to continue.
Or maybe, somewhere down the road, where our paths once met.
