my childhood has always been happy and normal. playing with friends at home or with my brother and our toys always makes me happy. but there's one thing that made my childhood really special.. and it's because of you :)
i remember the children's parties that our families both attend. we play together but don't talk much (well you don't :P you were always so quiet) but we have fun during the games. there's also the office outing in Laguna and i remember all us kids playing tricks on each other (i think we locked my brother in the room then and he couldn't get out haha). i also remember going to your house and we'd play in your room with your cousins (you have this dartboard in your room then and we'd eat jellybeans of various flavors).
but childhood was short... and we didn't see each other for 9 years... long, long years and i've been thinking whatever happened to you.. and i wondered if you ever thought of me too..
who would've thought that your sister would be turning 18 so soon. and our family's invited to the party. i thought "hey.. i wonder what he looks like now.." and continued on thinking until we saw each other that night. it's vague but i remember you walking up to me and my brother inviting us to write a note on your sister's frame. and i remember your dad asking if i want to dance with you. i guess i couldn't answer then.. and i remember walking beside my parents to our car. i wasn't able to dance with you that night, but i would've if we stayed. we never talked, but it could've been nice if we did.
four years have passed.. and it's my turn to be 18. and i couldn't contain myself from the excitement for my party. and then you showed up, handsomely in a suit and tie of course. but that wasn't the highlight that night. it was when our turn to dance for the traditional 18 roses. for me time slowed down at that moment you took my hand and we danced. it was sweet, and very memorable. you made my birthday extra special that night.
maybe fate was being nice to me.. you asked me to be your date for your prom. i remember not saying yes immediately when you asked me. and you excitedly called me up as soon as I said yes :) the prom night was magical, another memorable moment. i finally met your friends and we had our picture together. the best part is yet to come, and i had a chance to dance with you again. i can still remember the songs being played while we danced.. and we both smiled at each other. but the night has to end... and we shared one last dance before you took me home.
*sigh* yep i could still remember every detail of those times. and i love telling our story. it hasn't ended yet, there are still more memories to create. i'm glad we get to talk to each other again, after a few years. maybe we could catch up sometime, and share more stories of each other.
it's raining again...but i don't need the rain to remind me of you :)
*for Rain*
