Our story began without a spark,
Just roles to play, just light and dark.
You were new, I was your guide,
A boss, a lead, with work as stride.
But then we walked—Technohub’s light,
UP’s Oval bathed in afternoon’s quiet.
Gubat meals and coffee stops,
You drove me home, and time just paused.
That single day cracked open walls,
And slowly, steadily, the silence falls.
With each walk, each talk, each bite we share,
I found someone who’d truly care.
A son so selfless, brave and kind,
A kuya with a thoughtful mind.
A friend, a leader, bright and wise,
A student with the stars as prize.
And me? I laughed, I dared, I tried,
I let you see what I would hide.
In you I found a gentle grace,
My heart could breathe in your safe space.
What pulls me in, I cannot name,
Maybe we’re twins in fate and flame.
Both Geminis, with stories shared,
Working students, young and scared.
Perhaps the cosmos played its part,
Or maybe, love just knows the heart.
Or maybe still—what if it’s true?
That soulmates come as friends like you.
I told you once, last year in fall,
The truth I feared, I said it all.
You didn’t turn, you didn’t run,
But still, I knew—you weren’t the one.
And that’s okay, I understand,
I’ll still be near, I’ll still stand.
Though not the glance I hoped to earn,
I’d never wish our bond to burn.
Forgive me if I crossed the line,
Too loud, too much, too little time.
If I brought storms or silent pain,
If I’m the reason for your strain.
But know this truth I’ll always say:
I’ll cheer you on, come what may.
You’ll soar, you’ll shine, you’ll claim your place,
Even if I’m not in that space.
