A DREAM I KNOW WILL NEVER HAPPEN

I woke up today with a dream I know will never happen.

Why do we still dream of someone who is already out of our lives? I mean, yes, you are friends, but there was no a "hi-hello" thing or anything that keeps you connected. Yes. he was once important to you and treat you as the best-est friend ever, but then everything was gone. As much as I want to think that he is still there for me, I know everything is different now.

I dreamt of him, giving me a bouquet of flowers on my birthday which is few days from now. 

Very impossible I know. He don't even know how to say "hi". He don't message me. We don't talk nor see each other anymore. He won't even like or react to any of my FB post. I never felt his presence from a long time now. I have greeted him during the holidays (Christmas & New Year) but there was no reply. I greeted him on his birthday and sent him a very long message, and I actually don't remember his reply as it was as short as it was.

This is not to say that he was a bad person or a bad friend. I know that he recognizes the things I did and been doing until now. I just miss him. I actually miss telling him everything and expressing myself. I miss talking to him. I guess, I just needed someone to talk to right now.

He was my high school best friend (as what he said). He has been my constant listener and adviser. But when you got busy, meet new people in life and found your love story, you've gone to leave some friends behind your new found happiness. I guess that is the reason why everything was different now.

I have been into a lot the past days and weeks. I am trying to be okay. To divert all the sadness and loneliness into happiness. I have gone watching a movie, cut my hair short and even went out of town with friends. But no matter how happy I have felt, at the end of the day before I sleep, I know that there is something missing.

In a few days, will be my birthday and nothing really to expect, especially now. And to dream that your ONCE supposed to be guy-bestfriend will give you flowers on your birthday is just an imagination. I haven't received a bouquet my entire life, much more from someone I wasn't able to talk nor saw for a long time now. But why did I dreamt of him? So, what does this dream implies now?

That dreams are opposites of what will happen in reality..

I guess...

Sa Tamang Panahon

Damdamin hindi maintindihan

sa lapis at papel nalang muling idadaan

totoong isinasambit

nitong magulong isipan.

Madaming nakakapansin

nitong aking mga pasaring

na ako'y tila may problema

na kinikimkim mag-isa.

Bumalik ako sa nakaraan

kung paano kita nakilala.

Pilit inalala,

bakit ba minahal kita.

Dumating ka sa buhay ko

noong panahong handa na ako.

Bawat araw ko'y pinasaya

at pinaramdam sa akin

na hindi na ako mag-iisa.

Lumaki akong maaring hindi tulad ng iba,

tahimik, mahiyain at nag-iisa.

Batang may sariling mundo

at may malungkot na kwento.

Kaya siguro iba ang aking tuwa

na sa akin ay may pumansin.

Nagpumilit na ako'y mas kilalanin

at pag-ibig ay iparamdam sa akin.

Ikaw ay naging kaibigan ko,

kausap sa lahat ng aking kwento.

Naghatid ng kakaibang tunog sa mga tawa ko

at ningning sa mga mata ko.

Kinulit mo ako sa bawat araw,

hindi natakot sa kung ano ang matatanaw.

Tinulungan kumawala sa mundong
aking matagal ng pinagtaguan.
Ngayon ay may tao ng hahawak sa aking kamay
at hindi ako bibitawan.

Hindi ka tulad ng pinangarap ko,
malayo sa mga napapanuod at nababasa sa libro.
Ngunit hindi ko na un pinansin
ng pakinggan ko ang totoong bulong ng damdamin.

Sa ating halos anim na taong pagsasama,
hindi naman laging masaya.
Andyan ang mga problema
na pilit tayong tinutumba.

Tayo naman'y nasa wastong gulang na,
pero madaming bawal na pumipigil
sa atin maging masaya.
Mga dahilan na araw araw
kong sinusubukang intindihin,
patuloy na kumakapit para sa atin.

Tayong dalawa ay magkaiba,
madami akong hinahanap na hindi ko makita.

Ako'y babae din naman,
naghahanap ng kilig paminsan minsan.
Ito'y mga simpleng bagay lang naman
kung ika'y marunong makiramdam.

Naiisip mo din ba ako?
O akala ko lang ito?

Lagi ako naghahanap ng oras mo.
Tanong ko lagi'y "Pupunta ka ba?"
At ako'y malulungkot nalang bigla,
maghihintay ng susunod na linggong
pwede kang makita.

Madaming beses na tila napapagod na ako
umintindi ng mga dahilan mo.
Ilang beses na din kitang tinutulak papalayo
ngunit nananatili kang andyan at hindi sumusuko.

Mahal kita, at sabi mo, mahal mo din ako.
Ngunit bakit tila di ko maramdaman iyon sayo?
Hindi ko lang ba talaga maramdaman,
o talagang may mali lang?
Hanggang kailangan ako iintindi?
Hanggang kailangan ako mag titiis?

Alam kong hindi ka perpekto,
at ganun din naman ako.
Madaming luha na din ang naiyak
at mga nasabing maaring nakasakit sayo,
ngunit bakit andito pa din tayo?
Pilit na inaayos ang lahat ng ito.

Napaisip ako't napapikit,
kinausap ang Diyos at sakanya ay isinambit...

"Dati ay gusto ko lang siya makilala, ngunit ipinakilala Ninyo ako sakanya. Lahat ng dasal ko'y dininig Ninyo. Hindi agad agad ngunit lahat ay nagkatotoo, sa tamang pagkakataong ibinigay ninyo. Alam po Ninyo kung gaano ko siya kamahal. Alam ko ang lahat ng sakit na nararamdaman namin ngayon ay may kapalit na saya, sa tamang panahon."
