It feels like having your own best friend, a lover, a person who brings you medicine and a glass of water when you are sick, and someone who helps you build your dreams as much as you have for them. It's relaxing. But throughout this journey, I realized it's not always the happiness, the sweet little giggles, the kisses... and everything we thought it would be.

"By the way, kailan ka babalik ng Pilipinas?"Hindi agad nawala ang ganoong tingin niya sa akin. It's becoming extremely awkward. I was about to tell her how awkward her stare was when she turned her eyes away and took a deep breath. Maliit siyang ngumiti habang nasa labas ang tingin.
