Alaala ang pinakamalapit na tugma
Ng mga tala.
Kapahina ang kakambal nitong
Pinakamapait na salita: Pangungulila.
Nang pagtingala
Sa buwan na ningas ng maamo **** mukha.

Kaya, sa kawalan ay mapapako.
Mapagtatantong
Bituin ka sa apat kong dako.
Hilaga, Kanluran, Timog, at Silangan.
Doon kita matatagpuan.

Ikaw, ang siphayo ng malamig na gabing pinili kong makasanayan.
Ikaw na siyang unan, kumot, at hanap-hanap kong dantayan.

Ikaw, ang pinakamataimtim na bulong sa mga bulalakaw.
Ang nag-iisang hiyaw.
Na kung hahamunin man akong bigyang-kahulugan ang salitang balang-araw,
Ang isusulat kong depinisyon ay ikaw;
Ang pinakainaabangan kong bukas
Matapos sariwain ang kahapon at nakalipas.

Ikaw ang uniberso.
Wari'y ang lawak ng kalawakan
Maging ang mga kislap nitong hindi pa natutuklasan ninuman,
ay hindi sasapat kung ikaw ay aking ilalarawan.
Ikaw na napiling pag-alayan ng pag-ibig na matagal kong inipon at iningatan.

At wala akong ibang maramdaman
Kundi matuling ikot ng mga planeta
At mga nagbabanggaang kometa.
Subalit hanggang kailan?

Mahal, kapos ang haba at katahimikan ng gabi para lamang pakinggan ang dalawang pusong nagsisimulang bumuo ng kanilang istorya.

Araw ay marahang pinasisingkit na ang mga mata.
Umaga na subalit mahal pa rin kita.
Sinta, tinatangi kita.

I have a story to tell.
A story you already knew so well.
But this won’t begin
With your typical “Once upon a time”.
I have a story to tell
A story you want to hear on your bedtime.
This is a piece of letter
Of hearts and roses
From a simple girl
Who wrote on a piece of a timeworn paper
Her dreams and wishes;
Of burns and ashes.
And it goes like this…

“Tonight, I’m sipping wine. And I pray and I wish that you are fine. That you can surpass everything life throws at you. Because I know, you are good at catching things.

And putting myself at the edge of the hill, with nothing to hold but the thin air, and jumping off of the cliff would be worth the fall, if I see you there under, waiting. You were there. Not minding what it would cost you catching me.
        
Those to you, bruises and wounds are what but nothing. Because I know, you are a fighter, a catcher. And you are good at catching.

         And if in the end, we see ourselves barely breathing, consuming one another, wearing those painful marks of risking it all, why not spend the rest of our lives healing all those scratches, tattered fleshes, and broken bones.

         Then, we’ll look back. We’ll speak to one another without hushing any piece of word. We’ll voice with nothing but smiles and stares that we made it. That we exceed boundaries of almost, and that we finally brought all the pillars, all the columns, and all the walls down. We cut that paper thin and fine lines of hopelessly dreaming and living the reality, of what is real. Together, we explored and unlocked the unimaginable door ways to our infinities and galaxies, and universe and ultimate. We are our own universe. We have discovered the ultimate.

         These are the prize of trying and fighting and catching and winning. That fear is what but nothing.
And you are synonymous to everything.”

This is the story I want to tell.
A story you already knew so well.
And the only lesson, my friend
That this scene of standing, and holding,
And jumping, and catching, and living
Is not the movie’s ****** 30-minutes away down to the end,
But only the beginning of a well-written story of characters
Of perfect blends.
This is the plot of betting it all.
This is the story of The Greatest Fall.
