The moment I learned to read a book and who knows
when did that ever start, I was tangled within the pages of a whole new
world, a place where I can be who I wanted to become; the prince who owned a
castle so big, a beast who can devour cities and just destroy my enemies or a
love story where I can always end it with me finding the one I dearly love.
“Books, a
written or printed work of fiction or nonfiction, usually on sheets of paper
fastened or bound together within covers.”
Since grade school there’d be only one place for me except the four corners of a shabby classroom where the better scene of knowledge is shared — the library was my haven. I’ll spare almost every time of my day to be in that worshiped place of knowing and learning. A place where all the adventures of my mind came to life, I found new friends and believed in fairy tales and romantic love songs.
I’ve abused that sacred place of learning for
almost every time I satiate my hunger. To fill the coarse emptiness of my soul
for more, to engage in so much exploits, my plead to every new stuff I have to
accomplish and for all the good things that come by as I get on with study and
self – satisfaction beyond the doubt of reality.
One thing though I never learned in books,
may have read some about it and wondered how it felt, and that is how to live
LIFE and just LOVE.
Books never taught me to know and lure myself
to LOVE, to spread it, to fall upon its gripping end, to tell a story of how my
LIFE unfolds in front of me. Still I came to realize I needed no book to
understand LIFE and experience LOVE, they both happen. But this book isn’t about
how my LIFE went on for it still is a road ahead of me… this is a book about all
of us, about that part of us we have clearly enjoyed.
This book of LOVE,
Of YOU,
And of WE.
Fondly, making my way to every book store
finding for the best book to read. At some stroll I’ll find some to pack up the
gusto of my pride to read and explore lands of unknown.
But this time, I was not looking for a book
of someone else’s pre-filled imagination. I want a book about you. Where I can
read everything about what is there to be known, to know your name, who gave it
to you, who your parents were, how wonderfully made you are for me, how can
there be more of you for the both us… a book of you. And just to act foolish
for this… this blog wouldn’t be such a big thing to do about if we didn’t
really confess everything else. And you were right, why wait!?? Seriously, I was
planning for a bigger boom!
All I have now are excerpts from that book I wish
to read, a book I know that would mean a lot. My heart aches since that night
we let out everything and never cared what the world may say or what our mind
tells us. No more lesser than 48 hours and a lot of things just happened to try
what would be a great ride and I can’t be more freaked out just to know you’re
okay, if you’re doing good and just by far for every moment of your absence I’d
think where have you gone, exactly. (My blog doesn’t make sense now! J )
Someday, I’ll have my time for that book to
finally sit down with, stare at the sun as it sets and just hold your hand and
know you’re there sharing it with me, waiting for the stars to witness just how
heavenly it is to have you, to just feel you breathing on my chest as you lay
on me, to warm you up with my bare arms, to make you feel how much I’ve longed
for that one moment from the day we met.
A book of you. A book still having pages to
fill with, hoping it’d be our story to share. A book I’d treasure dear. For I have
never been this in love that sleeping was no better than waking up ‘coz when
you’re in love, reality is indeed better than dreams.
For
one thing is sure… I’d MARK that BOOK for YOU.
