4 Less than 3 is 1

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry 

 Life’s challenges can either tear or build the relationship. I’m just glad because I’ve got a man who’s willing to face these challenges alongside with me.

Together, we both know that we are very much compatible to each other. Of course, there were those misunderstandings and fights along the way but most of the time we both know that we’re happy and in love. My partner and I, have been together for 3 years now… we’re turning 4 this year. Other people say that the 4th year is the rocky one. Well, I guess it is. As our relationship aged, and as we aged as well though it could be rocky we decided to change something, something different from the usual set-up that we have for the past 3 years.

Us for 3 years? Were inseparable. That’s what we are… We always have time together; we always go out together. Whenever you would see him, expect that I will be there also. Our social feeds are full of our togetherness. Even my first job I happened to be working on the same institution with him. When he transferred to a new job that is located in Ortigas, I also look for a job near his location because that’s what we want. In everything that we do, our relationship would always come first. We are willing to let opportunities past just to not let the relationship be compromised. We were almost together from Mondays to Sundays, 24/7… and that’s the inseparable that I am talking about.

When an opportunity came for him and he has to be sent to Australia, that’s the only time that we have been apart from each other for a long time. And believe me, it is as hard as hell though it was just 3 months – Skype had been our most used app during those time. Given that it’s a long distance communication plus there’s this 4 hours’ time difference our relationship were really challenged. There’s this one moment that he has to stay in the woods for a week where there is no internet connection and it’s a week of no talks, no Skype – a week of loneliness and sadness. I would always ask him to go home, he even planned of actually packing his things up and go home. Until, the distance brought some misunderstandings to us that we would even fight and it’s hard to have those arguments when you’re a part. We’re weak when we’re apart.

Of course, when he came back from Australia everything went back to its usual phase. We’re back together again it’s as if nothing happened.

Until this time came, before the year 2015 ended we had this serious talk. We evaluated our relationship for the past 3 years. It was good, we can say that we totally know each other right now even with just a wink of an eye. We were happy and we were fine but we both admitted that we lack something – ourselves.

For the past 3 years, we have been so busy growing the relationship but somehow, at some point we missed growing individually. There were a lot of opportunities that we missed just because we didn’t want to compromise our relationship. We were so afraid to take risks because it might affect us. We became so complacent and stagnant because we think that we are safe if we will just stick to that. Our worlds became one that we missed sharing it with others. Bottom line is, we are so good when we’re together but so weak when we’re apart.

Now, we have come up with the conclusion that this year we’re going to wrap our relationship up by being less of us but more of ourselves. We have decided to start preparing for a bigger picture so both of us must aim for that stability and security. We have love each other solely for a long time and we have to take part of that love for our individual selves now. We must improve ourselves so that when we combine us together we can be much stronger and better.

We know that this is what we were supposed to do and we both know that it might be hard because it’s going to be less for us. If opportunities unfold that might compromise the relationship, we’re leaving it all to love and understanding that we have built for the past 3 years. Challenges may come and put our relationship at stake we’re not sure if we can make it, but we have talked about it so we’ll do it. The only thing that is important right now is we understand each other and we’re on the same phase. We may just choose to be complacent and be safe, but no, we want to be better. Not just for us, but for the future that we’re planning to build. Yes, we’re on that now. We’re planting the seeds now so that we may have something to harvest when the time is right.

The challenge is on -  to tear or to build it’s up to us.

It hurts to love, but it’s worth it.Love wouldn’t be so beautiful if you didn’t have to die a little bit to create it. Love has always cost pain.

I think, every once in a while, we need to step back and look at situations and realize that we know ourselves better than anyone else. We live with ourselves everyday. We are the ones who have our thoughts. We are the ones who know our intentions. Stop letting people tell you who you are.

Sometimes I like to be alone. I enjoy the freedom and solitude. In those moments, I remember who I am and what I want in life.

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

Go for it, while you can. I know you have it in you. And I can’t promise you’ll get everything you want, but I can promise nothing will change if you don’t try.

I could wait for her for a whole a day… I could hear her footsteps outside as she climbed the stairs.

I could wait for her for a whole day… I could hear her keys bumping on each other as she opened the door.

I could wait for her for a whole day… As she switch on the lights and stare at me.

I could wait for her for a whole day… As I stare back at her.

I could wait for her for a whole day… As she slowly walk into the room and try not to get me too excited.

I could wait for her for a whole day… As I watched her remove those shoes, put down her bag and give me that lovely smile.

I could wait for her for a whole day… Eventhough, she tried her best not to get me too excited, I can’t actually help myself once she utter the words, “Hi Baby!”

I could wait for her for a whole day… When she would pick me up and give me a belly rub.

I could wait for her for a whole day… When she would start to clean me with those powder scent baby wipes and those fragrant cologne which she actually chose for me.

I could wait for her for a whole day… When she would give vitamins because she wants me to be healthy.

I could wait for her for a whole day… I would watch her cook while I am playing around. I am getting excited for dinner and wonder what would I have for dinner. She would let me have a portion of what she cooks and I tell you, I really like it! Especially when she would put some peanut butter on it. I can finish it in no time.

I could wait for her for a whole day… When she would accompany me to the toilet to do my thing.

I could wait for her for a whole day… And wait for her hugs and kisses too.

I could wait for her for a whole day… And her ferocious voice when she caught me doing something bad.

I could wait for her for a whole day… When she would try to put me to sleep but I refuse too because I still want to play.

I could wait for her for a whole day… When she would turn off the lights but I can still see her from the lights of her phone.

I could wait for her for a whole day… Without noticing that the dim light could actually put me to sleep.

I could wait for her for a whole day… When I would be the one to wake her up before her alarm. And she would beg for me to keep quiet because she’s still sleepy.

I could wait for her for a whole day… She would prepare my breakfast even if herself couldn’t have one because she’s going to be late for work.

I could wait for her for a whole day… And watch her choose her clothes thinking that it actually fits her.

I could wait for her for a whole day… When she would get some water for me and ensure that I don’t get thirsty.

I could wait for her for a whole day… As she would pat me and say, “Be a good boy, ok?”

I could wait for her for a whole day… As I watched her get her bags and keys. Put on her shoes and havr that last look on the mirror.

I could wait for her for a whole day… As I watch her open the door and see that glimpse of sunlight.

I could wait for her for whole day… As she stepped out and give that one last stare followed by a smile assuring me that she’ll be back.

I could wait for her for a whole day… As I hear her footsteps fading.

I could wait for her for a whole day… And miss her over and over again while she’s away.

I could wait for her for a whole day… Until I hear her footsteps again.
