baby, just say...

"I'm normally quiet on the first date." The boy said as he talked to his other over the phone.

"Ikaw? Eh kumakanta ka na nga on your first day at work! Haha."

"Ah," he laughed recalling that instance. "It seems like you already know a lot about me."

"Oo," the other replied in a hushed tone. "Parang kilala na nga talaga kita. Siguro... we were Romeo and Juliet before."

"You do know their story is bound to end in tragedy..."

The boy smiled weakly on his end.

Both kept still and let the pitter patter of the moon's tears speak of their silent longing that theirs won’t end the same way.

It's not inevitable.

*******

It seems like everywhere everyone's in love. So where are you?

I'm here, am I not?
Will you let it slip by?

'Tis found on uncertain places or intentionally hiding somewhere else.

Now - how do you find something that seems always meant to escape you?

Ans. Your arms. Open it wide. no?

@alterjon: Yes. We just have to be open to everything - including the hurt.

OMG!!!

There's a catch? There always is, isn't it?

So, the question is: how bitter is the bittersweet smile? Is it more bitter or sweeter?
