In his world where the sun barely rises,
there she is— set to give warmth.
The war inside his head is extreme,
but there she is whispering good dreams.
Many times he will shout "help!"
and there she responds and loves him more than herself.
She chooses to learn how to dance in the rain,
and tells him she's there even in times of pain;
because she cares more of his scars
than facing her own wars—
because she loves him and she hopes he knew.

It's a great wonder how our eyes have met.
******* with my thing and various people were around,
I was still caught by your presence.
You are the story I've never knew I'd read.
From the day my eyes have met yours,
I was totally distracted—
distracted by your eyes filled with emotions.
The silence between us have brought words;
Feelings became mutual.
Strange feelings painted hearts;
It brought deep hope and started creating fire.
Fate's on our side,
and time drew us closer.
We were strangers who found a home in each other's heart.

The first time we've met I knew we'd click.
There was no doubt that you and I wouldn't be closed.
Fate was at my side and helped made a way.
I was happy and enjoyed your company.
I loved how we exchanged laughs and stories.
The late night talks brought me smile and truly unforgettable.
Being with you was good and the feeling was comfortable.
I still recall when we traded hugs.
Do you remember the feeling when we thought each other was enough?
Challenges from your side to mine tried to shake the faith we have.
But I was and still glad that you were with me those times.
No, there was no "us" but somehow, at some point,
I know the feelings once became mutual.
Then, a day came when every thing seemed different.
I asked myself, "What happened?"
Tons of things bugged my mind and heart.
I wouldn't want to lose what fate created in us.
But-
when I tried to speak for myself,
words mumbled and we both misunderstood.
My heart was guilty and didn't mean to hurt.
I wish you know how I badly wanted to make everything all right.
And at the same time, I felt the pinch in my heart
when I heard no words from you.
You shun and made me feel that the feeling I had for you was wrong.
I didn't want to make myself believe that I hope you'd show me that it is you..
you that I prayed for, but I did.
Then again, the situation proved me wrong,
and made me realized that it wasn't love we had.
Why it seemed like fate was kidding with us?
Perhaps, the feeling that was growing before suddenly stopped,
has now a beautiful plan for tomorrow.
The memories we had are indelible.
Now as you face your life ahead,
I'm holding my pen, writing you this  to let you know that my heart isn't holding a grudge.
I know your heart is open again to love someone and
my soul believes that things will surely be better each day.
Today, I'd like to tell you that my heart is happy for you.
Those days we had together gave us something good and lesson to remember.
I hope the new journey that we're going to make in separate ways,
will bring us the joy that we tried looking together.

I recall how you tried to peek.
You were there with us,
and you hardly speak.

It was me who made a move,
for us to become friends.
Then something between us improved.

The bond became so tight,
and that was you whom I looked for.
Those were the days it seemed so right.

Your feelings got deeper;
you assumed for more.
Hoping for things to become sweeter.

I began to be opened and it felt good.
I strived for something new, but...
it became complicated and we misunderstood.

Then a day came,
where everything was so silent.
No whisper of each others name.

The feeling that once became mutual,
is now forgotten.
By words, things could become fatal.

No, I don't regret that kind of relation,
for somehow it taught me numerous things.
And by the next time, it won't be another temporary affection.

Our eyes have met in an unexpected way.
He had caught my attention,
and I started to behold.
Things became a bit puzzling;
but I kept myself descrying.
As I perceived for so many days,
weeks, months...
something in me unfold.
Things were revealed;
then it showed complicated scenes.
As I closed my eyes,
he showed up in my dream.
My heart beat for him;
it felt good and seemed true.
A tiny part of me loved him in a land of
fantasy.
Then I woke up-
I am back in the reality,
where my feeling for him is like forbidden.
Now I couldn't wait for another night,
to love him in my dreams.

*-Steph Dionisio, May 28, 2015

Love, I will wait for you like Jacob did.
He waited for Rachel and some things he bid.
To God I pray for a longer patience,
for in the future this will make a difference.

Love, I will give you friendship like Jonathan to David.
The relationship we'll have is that one that's "blessed".
You will be loved by me, as my own soul.
It is God that will make us whole.

Love, I will stay by your side like Ruth to Naomi.
Being apart won't happen, for I commit everything to Thee.
Every step of the way I will be with you.
Together, the heart of God, we'll both pursue.

Love, I will be faithful to you like Hosea.
Trials will come, but we have the Alpha and Omega.
I will show you my full loyalty,
and to God I will bring you closely.

Love, we will grow old together like Abraham and Sarah.
The fire of love in us will burn like magma.
I will make a covenant with you,
and it is something that I will hold on to.

Love, it is God who will be in our center.
It is the love of the Lord that will make us better.
The future I will have  with you will be a great journey,
for we are loved and guided by the Almighty.

Beautiful soul is what you are.
In some dark days you are my star.
You are an extension of God's love.
I can't deny the fact that you are blessing from above.

Everything of you is a part of me.
Your beautiful side is what I always see.
You are a person who fights for what is right.
And sometimes this cause you to cry at night.

Since before, you've been always thoughtful.
I saw the times when you became fearful.
Deep down I felt the tears you've shed,  
and courageously to God you prayed and pled.

The time I met you was one of the best-
the best time to say that I am blessed!
We both know that I am not a perfect friend,
but you offered me something that will last 'til the end.

Fun things are what we always do.
Remember the days when we tried to fly and climbed trees, too?
I remembered a day when you cried a lot,
because you were playing and had a deep cut.

Rainy days! One of our favorite days!
We were excited to run and play.
Laughing, running, throwing mud.
We even tried to play in the flood.

Impossible things became possible to us,
There were many things that we liked to discuss.
We became fake animals and superheroes.
We had a pet frog- oh yeah, we were weirdos!

Each day was a time to had fun.
We didn't care about the heat of the sun.
We embraced every bruises we had.
Friends come and go- we were always glad.

Now that we are grown ups and at our 20's,
no more plays and doing important duties.
Memories and friendship will remain the same.
Some things about us, now I acclaim.

Dear best friend, I pray and hope all the best for you.
I and God will always help you to get through.
Let's look on forward to what is best,
and stick together, for we know that God will do the rest.
