I BLESS THE DAY I FOUND YOU



I think the Telenovelas are good liars because our love story never started like any scenes they created. Or maybe they tell a little truth, because from what I see, we might be heading to happily ever after
Or are we just on a vacation to wonderland?

Whatever it is, I decided to hold on to every good thing the day I met you. I had stopped fighting for certain things; Fame. Happiness. Peace. Love. Because I believed every good thing would come. Just come! Just! And just like every good thing, you came.

Forgive me for being goofy but I think I can't remember what day it was. What I was doing. What the weather looked like or even what I wore. Everything has been dissolved in the waters of time except for how I felt. 

In the midst of my forgetfulness, I still cherish what I can't remember and leave what I can't hold in my head for my heart. Every day births new reasons to believe blessings still come and although I can't remember, I bless the day I found you.

Like the coming and going of sea waves,
Time and events have come and gone
Yet I still thank heaven for making the day we met.
