The sun will
Give way
To the moon,
This day will
At last
Be done with.
And my
Hollow heart
Can learn
To beat
Once more.

Dear Reader,

Run.
Run as fast as you can.
Run till you feel like you'll fall off the face of the Earth.
But,
By now you should have learned that you'll never escape me.

Yours Truly,
*The Past~

I know that you
and I are connected,
I can feel it;
the undeniable tug
of my soul
in response
to yours.

People don't really notice the little things with me
Well, despite being a big guy
Not a lot of people ever did

I'm your average nerdy guy
who happens to like classical music
and appreciates medicine and quantum theory
has weak lungs and sensitive ears
and possibly, an attention span of an apple

People notice the regular things
Me drawing, studying, science-ing out
(as you termed it)
But the one thing you changed in me
The one thing that not a lot of people see
the one thing that you and only you taught me
was how to smile
And I never really knew how to smile

Maybe, if I held my breath long enough
things would be better
from how they are today

Sadly, that's not how it works
at this plane of existence
Because things won't always go your way

Sometimes, the world will trick you
into believing that death would be kinder
but the universe will show you greater things
If you stick around until the true end

Better things will come.
Don't expect it
but know it will
Try to stay positive

I went out for a jog on a Wednesday night
I thought of taking my mind of some things
and... that's what I did
I jogged like Forrest Gump's lazier half brother
because, I simply can't run because of asthma

After a few rounds around the university,
I decided to go home with a quick trip to the convenience store for dinner
I had the usual.. a rice meal, and two cans of milk

I walked home, taking home a can cause
I cannot stand the stench of the store's second floor anymore
That's when I saw a particular beggar on the street

It was a old woman, probably on her 70s
She had lesions on her legs, so she couldn't walk...
She looked up to the sky like somehow, maybe today she'd breathe her last
I mustered whatever kindness I had in me, and with whatever I had left..
I gave her Php. 8.00 and can of milk

She had this lit up look with her eyes and with utmost fervor, she said "Salamat po" ("Thank you")

Days. Weeks. Months passed by since I've seen that lady again... and at some point that moment seemed like history to me...

Today, I've went out for a jog to take my mind off things.
and what luck did I have.. I did not have enough for my usual..

I decided to go home and with a heavy heart.. Tired and full of stressed out muscles..
On the street, a young girl with a plastic bag approached me.
She was apprehensive; shy even. She gave me the plastic bag and ran off...

And with what surprise I had when I opened the bag... You know what it had?

A rice meal and two cans of milk
It's nice to have witnessed that so called "ripple of kindness" :)
