a shot at creative writing.

we were walking towards the nearest jeepney stop. no, more like running, since the slight drizzle became a heavy downpour. i forgot my umbrella, and so did she. instead of cursing deities of rain or cloud-seeders, i just laughed the moment i caught her eyes. sira pala ang beauty mo ha.

minutes have passed since we boarded the almost-empty jeep. silence. i was exhausted from kidding around with her all afternoon. she never failed to lighten up my face whenever we kill some time together. as she stared at the changing landscape outside, i was stealing glances of her gentle face. that’s as much as i could do, i know.

still, i’ll never lose hope that one day, you’ll learn to love someone else. losing the one person you love hurts as much as me losing the best friend i ever had.

the jeep came to a halt. it was time for us to part ways. good thing it was still raining. the night sky never looked this dark.
