half a year, 6 months, 25-26 weeks, 181 days, 4344 hours, 260640 minutes, 15638400 seconds

we've been at it for half a year.it seems such a long time when you use numbers.but it doesn't seem that long, does it?i still feel..new.

the past 6 months, despite what others thought of us, we've had loads of close calls.so many that i couldn't even remember exactly how many we've had.nonetheless, we're here.not just a "you" and a "me".but an "us".

i used to wonder how people could get so addicted to love.from what i heard, it doesn't seem to be so great.it's one of the greatest mysteries life has to offer.and probably one of the greatest jokes too.it leads you to think that it's ok, perfect even.but only for a while.then everything starts going downhill.and i agree w/ ven, it hurts.it hurts a great deal.sometimes, so much that u just want to rip your heart out and die. (prang ang bitter ng labas ko a)

i've experienced so much.but having experienced everything i did, i now understand.

i understand why people search for "the one", even if they need to go through a thousand heartbreaks to find that person.

i understand why rollercoasters, no matter how low they get, go up eventually.

i understand why ants, so small, strive to build their colonies.

i understand why leaves, no matter how high up they are, always dance their way to the ground.

because "the one" will make every heartache worth it, "the one" will make life "perfect".

because there will always be an "up" to look forward to, to hang on to, to hope for.

because that "us", even though they're just 2 people in that 6 billion, strive to strengthen their relationship, their bond.and in the process grow side by side, together, as individuals.

because sometimes, a few bumps and potholes along the road are welcome, are okay.

i understand why people are addicted to love.why people love "love".

because "love" can make every single cell in your body full of life and energy.

because with "love", there is acceptance, assurance, faith.

because in "love", there is a goal, a dream both of you share.

because of "love", there is a drive.to fulfill whatever that dream is.

thank you for spending half of a year with me.it's more than i could ever ask and hope for.it's been the best, the happiest, the most.

as always, i love you.
