Distance

Image
There is a distance that stretch between us A gap that is difficult to bridge Miles that seem so infinite And a space that extend to eternity. Driving through the silence,  I grasp at the steering wheel Enveloped by a cloud of loneliness While holding tight to a hope that flickers so far away. Even though we are far apart We are together in our hearts Somewhere out there, there is your heartbeat Your presence, an existence of contours. I had started getting used to feeling meaningless But love for you filled up my life  And your last smile is like a message from you Giving me the strength to go on. Ever since the first moment I loved you I knew somehow I would learn of the sadness that I feel right now But no matter the sadness, I will surely overcome it Because when farewell is uttered, a love is also promised.

The start of March signals the beginning of summer season here. No rain for three months, just plain heat, sunshine and humidity. Some of my friends have already gone off to beaches and swimming pools. But not me. Summer-time is that part of the year that I feel less enthusiastic to. I just hate the smoldering heat, and the high humidity. It is just too difficult to do everyday chores, and it's even difficult to concentrate on my studies. I don't even like going to the beach or swimming.What concerns me is that, I will be taking up summer classes by April. I would have to go to school like three times a week. I will have to spend more time outside in the next three months, and that means, more times under the sun..or heat. :) Anyway, despite the hot weather, I will still try to be productive, and hopefully by the start of the rainy season in June, I've already finished what I'm supposed to do. And that's what is exciting.

February is Love Month!

February is Love Month and certainly it's also the month that couples are especially looking forward to because of Valentine's Day. In all honesty, I don't get pretty much excited about Valentine's Day. Sure, it's the day that couples celebrate their love for each other, but I think showing one's love and affection and being sweet and romantic should not only be done Valentine's. It should be done everyday. ;)
