Half a year and a lifetime to go...

I never thought I'd find myself writing here again. 

But it just feels right to go back to what sparked "the confession". 

We've been talking everyday and I knew it was going somewhere. I knew it was going in the right direction, but I was hesitant to dip my toes in the water. And so I prayed about it, I prayed about you, I prayed about us. That's when the topic of singlehood came about. I remembered a piece I wrote from our speech club, and thought of sharing that to you through this blog as I secretly hope that you would finally make a move. Mission accomplished. 

Our love story is just not the typical boy-meets-girl. It wasn't a "swipe right, it's a match!" kind of thing. But you did slid to my DMs (wink wink), and replying to your message was the best decision I made by far. But our love story is my favorite, and I can't wait to grow old with you as we tell our grandkids the story of how our love story began. 

First date? Uhmm.. day trip lang naman na balikan sa Guimaras with day tour of photoshoot, food trip, exploring, and to cap the day, a sunset with a dash of "I like you" and "I like you, too". Top that! 

With all the places we've gone to for the past months, Guimaras will always be my favorite. Not because of the place, but because of what transpired because of that trip. It's been six months since we hop on that early flight to Iloilo as friends and went back to Manila as lovers. 

I can't believe that it's already been six months. Tama nga yung sabi nila na "Time flies so fast when you're having fun". Because, it's true. Everyday you give me a reason to get up, live life and have fun. You always succeed in your goal to make me laugh and smile everyday. I just hope that I also give you that level of happiness that you effortlessly give me everyday. 

Six months of good morning messages filled with reassurance, love, and motivation to face the day with hope and faith. Six months of FaceTime calls filled with tawanan, tampuhan, iyakan, at lahat na ng emosyon. Six months of sharing each other's learnings and realizations. Six months of growing together in Christ. 

I'm beyond blessed that you're my partner, my best friend, my love. 

I'm excited for more months, years, decades, and a lifetime with you. 

Happy 6th month, my love. 

I love you.
