I Love You โค๏ธ
ย ย ย ย ย ย Strong wind makes her long wavy black hair go in different direction, the blazing sun that shines through her beautiful face making her eyes brighter than anything you will ever see, and when the rain showers her at times where she wants to be alone actually made her happy and alive again itโs like washing all her worries, pain and miseries and making them a lesson that thought her to be strong and beautiful on her own.
ย ย ย ย ย ย Walking a long road on a sunny day is refreshing wearing a comfy shirt, jeans and some nice comfortable shoes unlike others who prefer dresses and high heels, having my hair braided left and right. The pathway Iโm walking right now is the same pathway me and my friends always walk to, nothing changes there are still benches to sit to when you are tired the street food corner that is still within sight if you sit in one of the benches. laughing with them is one of the memories I have the most.
ย ย ย ย ย ย โwhere already on our second year and we are also together in the same class right?โ her friend asked her, they were around 14 years old and on their second year of high school around this time they are still careless, innocent and pure to know the difficulties the world have.
ย ย ย ย ย ย Walking again on the never-ending corridor of her alma mater, the table they always passed by after greeting the kind guard who where always sitting there, the small basketball court that serves as a temporary court for every student, the canteen monitored by hot-tempered but still always smiling ladyโs behind the counter and also the giant tree on the middle where you can eat and also a hangout place together with her friends because of the concrete table and benches.
ย ย ย ย ย ย โKim?โ a manly voice calls out that momentarily cut-off her being nostalgic and reminiscence all the emotions that she let out in this place
ย ย ย ย ย ย โHi, Pastor? Iโm glad to see you againโ she said smiling at the now grey haired but still strong and resilient looking man who show and guide them all through their walk on the path that they choose.
ย ย ย ย ย ย โHello Kim, I see you havenโt really change, lets meet the principal?โ she nods and let him walk ahead of her. Nothing really changes in this campus, Kim taught to herself all the stairs, railings, door rooms, and the paints also remains.
ย ย ย ย ย ย Kim graduated on a nice and outstanding university she even reached her dreams. Having work to support her parents and that work is a part of what she dreamed to be thatโs why she was being encouraged to give inspiration to the students who are currently attending her alma mater.
ย ย ย ย ย ย โMaโam Carina said there is someone who would accompany me on the dayโ sheโs thinking about who it would be the principal is talking about. Kim was just wearing simple clothes she was comfortable with because itโs just a meeting. Going down to the same staircase she walked by earlier and onto the last step she bumps into someone.
ย ย ย ย ย ย โKim?โ a voice she hardly hears after graduating on her high school days makes her eyes wider and urge her to look at the male who owns the usual comforting voice itโs warm and inviting, and she loves it the most. Looking up at him he doesnโt seems to change at all he is much taller just right for her to hear his heartbeat every time she would have the chance to lean on his wide shoulder, to hug her and can comfort her anytime. His Brown eyes are firm, steady and prepared to embrace Kim when she falls to take care of her and warm her with love. Smiling at her he really doesnโt change.
ย ย ย ย ย ย โPaul!โ Kim exclaimed her excitement is noticeable โhow are you?โ she added
ย ย ย ย ย ย โIโm great, Iโve become who I want to beโ he says still smiling at her โhow about you?โ
ย ย ย ย ย ย โStill the same, but I also reach the one who I want to be amโ Kim says smiling and looking up on him. โSo, you are the one maโam Carina was talking about I guess?โ
ย ย ย ย ย ย โOh! So, youโre going to be a speaker also? Thatโs great!โ
ย ย ย ย ย ย Paul ask Kim if she have time and invited her to eat out also for them to have a little chat about what happened in their separate lives after graduating. So, Kim decided to sit on one of the benches in the new canteen that was made before they graduated because Paul is having a meeting with maโam Carina like she did earlier.
ย ย ย ย ย ย Blushing and talking to herself.
ย ย ย ย ย ย โWhat did you just do!โ she scream silently to herself. Ah! It is still refreshing to sit here, itโs a shame we didnโt get to eat and sit here for a long time.
ย ย ย ย ย ย โKim!? Youโre also late? Thatโs newโ Pamela one of her friend who has a perfect attendance on being late ย
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย โYeah! I think my alarm brokeโ Kim sadly said
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Laughing silently โThatโs alright, at least you get to see your crush first thing in the morning. Look!โ Pamela teases her while patting her back
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Putting her chin on her hand she whispers โIn front of him and even I just see a glimpse of him Iโm always blushing, Iโm such a Wimpโ
ย Taking a glance of the guy sitting two table from us but still I know who, I blush again. He looks like he wakes up late and because he lives far away, I think the traffic got him.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย โKim! Come on Iโm finished talking with maโamโ slowly walking to me his smile made me broke from remembering from past. โwe should go now?โ he asks sitting beside me.
ย ย ย ย ย ย โYes! Sure, Letโs go?โ walking out and passing the things where I remember most of my happy, sad, exciting, and scarry moments of my life, Iโm sure Iโll come back again.
ย ย ย ย ย ย โYouโre driving a car? Thatโs coolโ I say while blushing Paul replied a โYupโ and open the passengers sit for me. I do also have a car but Iโm glad I didnโt bring it here and just walk if ever I wouldnโt have a chance to see him this handsome.
ย ย ย ย ย ย A beautiful place where we sit under a large and fertile tree grasses that youโll feel on your heel there is also a stone passage you can walk, and yellow lights are spread around the place so when itโs already dark you can still be able to see the one you were with. Sitting across each other is a better way for the two of us to have a clear talk, and its way better for me if we are across each other, I can stealth a look and focus on him.
ย ย ย ย ย ย โThe place is really beautiful, whereโd you know this place?โ I ask smiling mischievously at him
ย ย ย ย ย ย โYeah? Thanks too googleโ Paul says making the two of us laugh, internet and social media really makes living easier and more convenient for everyone.
ย ย ย ย ย ย โSo, youโre already a Pilot?โ I ask him after we calmed down and for us to have a conversation while waiting for the food
ย ย ย ย ย ย โUnfortunately, but still Iโm late at finishing my courseโ he said staring at me after he look at the stars who are present tonight
ย ย ย ย ย ย โFor 2 years, right? I admire you for continuing your studies. Well, youโre one of the brightest students in our batchโ I said to him while also admiring him, he doesnโt really change at all
ย ย ย ย ย ย โYour still the same, always giving me compliments.โ He smiles at me that made me also smile at him.
ย ย ย ย ย ย As our dinner arrives which is a creamy flavor white sauce pasta that tingle my taste buds and just perfectly creamy that I like, stake that is juicy, tender, and loaded with flavor and lastly a wine that is bright and has a youthful color that perfectly match for Paul while I choose to drink cucumber juice with lemon that I love the most.
ย ย ย ย ย ย Looks like we made it
ย ย ย ย ย ย Look how far weโve come, my baby
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย This place we are eating have a live Band not the rock one but the calming one that made this place even more perfect. Most of the guest who where also eating are slowly standing walking on the middle stage part to dance, there are married, teens which are only friends but also couples.
ย ย ย ย ย ย We might a took the long way
ย ย ย ย ย ย We knew weโd get there someday
ย ย ย ย ย ย โCan I have this dance?โ walking over me and offering his hands to me looking up at him and placing my hand on his hand and walking through to get on to the center his big, warm and comforting hand guide me all trough our walk
ย ย ย ย ย ย They said, โI bet theyโll never make itโ
But just look at us holding on
Weโre still together, still going strong
ย โIโm thinking are you always going to be my first dance?โ I ask teasing him
He nods his head smile at me and says, โcanโt I?โ squinting my eyes I placed my hands on his neck and he pulls me close enough for the both of us and for the sake of my heart, I guess?
ย ย ย ย ย ย Youโre still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
Youโre still the one I want for life
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย He places both his hands on my waist โThe last time I held you like this youโre waist still have some fats, but now look at you, you really did changeโ he says to me I donโt know if his mocking me or complimenting me
Youโre still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
Youโre still the one I kiss goodnight
ย ย ย ย ย ย โIโll take that as a complimentโ and we laugh. Like we are young again still in our teenage year full of life, carelessness, innocence and being pure to have any Idea that we would become like this one day.
ย ย ย ย ย ย Iโm so glad we made it
Look how far weโve come, my baby
ย Our day ended with him bringing me home wishing for us to meet again, and for us to convey what we want to say to the current young ones our Alma Mater are protecting and guiding through their journey as an individual.
Casual short sleeve blue summer dress just above her knees and wearing a glass looking 2-inch ankle strap heals finish with a simple make-up and a single half side braided hair Kim walked down on the stage after she finished delivering her encouragement and for Paul to deliver his massage as Paul where speaking a calm and refreshing wind blows making him and her smiling admiringly at each other.
Kim sees again the younger version of herself and Paul that are on the process of making what they are together now has been fulfilled, how the way they see, cherished and care for each other. ย
Kim sees the struggles, hardship, and obstacle that they experienced and experiencing up until now. Most especially appearing before her eyes how they manage to overcome their struggles, surpass all the hardship and be successful through all the obstacle laid out for them.
โI hope that all of you even though you struggle like Kim and stop studying for a while like me still dreams and achieve what we both of us have and will just be making.โ Paul ends his message smiling at Kim.
Walking again up on the stage with Paul helping Kim by holding her hands. The event speaker congratulates all the student and give acknowledgements to both Paul and Kim.
Kim trusts Paul and Paul believes to Kim, he completes her the most and she fillโs him love that he believes no one could ever give to him. Paul is her longtime crush, and he loves Kim endlessly.
โOnce again letโs give our thanksโ to Mr. and Mrs. Cruz for sharing such a wonderful and inspiring messageโ
