i remembered when she shared me this story about love letters buried under a tree to which dreams were made, about how love unites two different souls, and how we could mold destiny to seek the love of our lives. it was three years ago and i could still remember the way she smiled-one of the most beautiful things i had ever witnessed in this lifetime.
there was this guy carrying a single red rose, slowly going down the stairs. eyes were upon him and yet he didn’t care. everything was a blur except for the face of the girl sitting by the piano, playing pachelbel. it is true that a girl is most beautiful when she plays with the keys of the piano. i would sometimes imagine being that guy, carrying a pink rose instead of red. i would give it to her after striking the last note of her piece. and then i would imagine her smile, and freeze the frame in my head; the same smile she wore the day she shared me this love story.
i miss writing love letters. i miss writing corny poems. i miss painting. i miss being with someone and yet feel completely free; free to love and express love the way i know how and in the way wanted it to be expressed. i am missing a lot of things when i am brought to the emotion of being in-love when i can’t be in-love. i am not sure how my heart reasons out, but before i finally give that rose to someone, i’d want to make sure i have already cut away its thorns… write a love story, live in it, hopefully with a beautiful end i would wish to see…

Don't worry, while waiting for that perfect timing to fall in love again the empty pages of On the Coffin Rock are always there- ready to be filled with your lovely and expressive words!
a beautiful end i wish to see...
hmmnn hala sagad na ang pagka-hopeless romantic mo ron...:) but why only see it, try to taste it, feel it and smell.. don't just stand witness to farmers and fishermen
Its so lovely...but I always wonder, why life and love is not easy as we read in the book...
is it hard to find the happy ending?
owh~
a rose will never be complete without its thorns...

i think it's time to mingle single!

You are such a hopeless romantic, Ron. Whoever steals your heart next time would be lucky to have you churn out beautiful words and awe-inspiring musings!
This post made me see what a gentleman you are!
I sure would like to have a brother-in-law just like you.
Can I arrange a date between you and my sister? Hahaha! She's a banker, deep in work and doesn't have time for dates. I hope she doesn't read this comment or I'll be damned. :)
well-written, ron! :)
it's making me miss love, too. haha.
missing some things makes it more interesting.
waiting for your Person is always the sweetest agony
RJ: yeah...buti na lang unlimited ang pwedeng ilagay dito..mukhang matatagalan pa yun eh..hehe!
dabo: good to see you here again, mate :)

zara: some say fiction imitates life like those in books we read... somehow i think it's a way for us to live a little easier reality than what we live right now... :)
abou: i agree... but in some way getting rid of it would somehow make things less complicated... :)
red: hehe! thanks! let's be in-love!

jake: hahaha! that's so flattering.
i guess she's a little workaholic? tell her to loosen up a bit, ayt? a banker? wow...
acey: why? aren't you in-love at the moment. it's kinda hard to believe that :)
denis: i agree... i'd like to believe something good comes to those who wait :)
why did you say you can't be in love?
don't hold back:
love
is
a
gamble
you
lose
by
not
playing
Rom---remember that.

---------------------------------
"See all these letters" he said, flipping through page after page of notebook paper. "I wrote these to you years before we ever met. I've been saving them for our honeymoon!"
For hours, I poured through the letters, fascinated by this man I had married. I was intrigued by his amazing journey as a single person, before I had known him.
"Tonight I am on a mission trip in Bulgaria" wrote one, "and I long for you to be with me in the joy of ministering God's truth."
"I am gazing at a gorgeous sunset," said another, "and it's not the same without you here to share it. I don't know where you are tonight, but I'm praying for you, I love you."

oho. somewhere out there, i was thinking about these things. i miss being in-love and being loved like mad. but it seems that such state is coming soon and it's going to be the sweetest (i hope, not expect) :)
all the best ron. andyan lang yan. upo upo ka kaysa malapit sa gutter.
tinay: coming soon???!!! really? then good for you! :)
