They say when you love something to let it go. If it comes back it is truly yours and if it doesn't, then it was never yours to begin with.
I always thought this was the silliest thing I have ever heard. If you love something, why would you not hold onto it for dear life? You, however, have shown me the wisdom in these words. Sometimes people need time and space to grow into better versions of themselves for things to work out.
I remember the first day I met you. It was in January during my freshman year of high school. I was having a miserable day and told one of my friends that I wanted to skip the rest of the day. He told me about this new kid, a junior, who could get me out of the school.
You greeted me with a smile and led me out of the school. We spent the whole day...
Love Letters
We've been friends for such a long time; sometimes I still have trouble believing that we're actually a couple now. Of course we've never been the closest of friends, we only met each other because I was dating your friend at the time. I'm sorry that we broke the "bro-code". I don't remember how or when we met, I don't remember my first thoughts about you. What I do remember, though, is the day I saw you again.
You just started at the factory in my department. I didn't know you were there until you said hello to me. I want to say that day was the start of it all, but this isn't a fairy tale about "love at first sight". For months we shared the occasional hello and small talk. I'd like to think that's when we grew a little closer as friends. I didn't grow feelings for you on my own. As...

It's been about 15 years since I met you but not a day passes without me thinking of you. You will probably never ever read this but I just have to get it off my chest, maybe then I'll be able to move on. You would probably think I was crazy anyway, I mean we didn't even kiss, let alone anything else. But still you've been there in my mind, I thought that night we went driving in your car, looking for a hotel, not to do anything you said, just to talk, I thought that was the start of something amazing but I don't know what happened after that, you rang me the next day and seemed so excited about me as I was about you, but that's the last I heard. And everyday since then I've thought about you, I didn't see you for years after that, then I found you on facebook, we began...

It's been 10 years but I just can't let go.
10 words to describe the 10 years in between, between the day I met you and today. Yes, dear, it's been a decade.
I met you on my thirteenth birthday. I was a kid, I was playful, and I don't know you exist... until that Palm Sunday of April 2006. I was at the church with my family. It was a sunny Sunday morning. I was with my friend when you came near us.
You were talking to your friends, joking about making a cuter palm using the leaves of a cogon grass. Ha ha ha! Yeah, funny enough for me, so I slowly looked around, looking for the voice who said that, until my eyes landed on yours. I can't explain the feeling, I wanted to talk to you but I wanted to run away. I wanted to smile, but I bit my tongue. I wanted to speak, but I am lost...

I still remember the night I fell in love with you. A brisk, beautiful, fall night. It was October 12th, 2015 and we had already been talking for some time at that point but you being more than a friend never was never raised to my attention before then. I recall haranguing you about going to the local haunted house attraction near by with our group of friends and you finally replied with a solid yes. I was the last to arrive and I noticed you noticing me walking towards you all. We all stood in a circle, me next to you not realizing by the end of the night you would be the reason for my heartaches many months later. We continued on to the ticket booth, then the actual attraction. I was not even with you during the actual haunted house because I was with my other guy friend who made me...

Dear you,
Hi. I've been thinking about you a lot the past few days. I know it's been 8 months since we broke up, and 2 months since I've seen you, but I still miss you. They say it takes time to move on. It's been 8 months, and I finally thought I had. You moved away. I moved on. And then your birthday came around. Time has brought up all of the wonderful memories we shared. From our first kiss 4 years ago, to losing our virginity together 20 months ago, to falling in love, to everything we ever had and felt.
I miss cuddling. You always said you felt closest when we cuddled together. I always said it was during our intimate throws of passion. I now realize you were right. I would give anything to feels your arms around me, to feel your warmth, and be in the safety of your familiar...

You. My girl. My love. My everything.
What a rollercoaster this has been. To you, it hasn't been long but for me it has been months and months of this up and down. I will never forget the day I fell in love with you. I knew from that moment on that there was nobody else in this world that I wanted my life spent with.
But one major thing stood in our way. Actually two things. The first thing was me. I was to terrified to say anything to you. I didn't want to lose my best friend. The woman who some how made all ends of my life peaceful. The second thing was you. You and your label of 'Straight'. You were so persistent on making sure everyone knew you where only into men, never a woman. You actually were 'talking' to some guy. Some guy who kept you on a leash and let you stray but...

I have struggled to find the words to express the feelings I’ve had and the indescribable series of emotions I’ve felt the last few months. I feel they can only be described as a dream....but it’s not a DREAM…its REALITY. I truly believe this is the part of MY fairy tale where I finally have found my Prince Charming. I realize you are reading this and thinking, “I’m no Prince Charming!” I hate to break it to you but you are MY Prince Charming, MY Knight in Shining Armor, MY long awaited Perfectly Imperfect Other Half. I will never be able to make you fully comprehend the pain I’ve endured and the emptiness I’ve felt nor will you fully understand what you have done for me since we met but that is why I chose to write this letter.
You stayed by my side and walked thru some of the...

An open letter to you:
I've been thinking about this for a while, all the things that I've been wanting to say out loud but couldn't. I hope this letter finds you well and brings you the relief that writing it is bringing me.
What we went through was one of the best and worst times of my life. You made me feel so loved and important and for that I can not thank you enough, you made me feel so safe. I'm sorry for the position that we put ourselves in, the compromises you had to make for us to live the way that we were.
I don't regret anything about what we went through, we learned a lot from each other and we learned a lot about ourselves. I guess I just wanted to say I'm not upset with you anymore and I hope that you're not with me. I miss you friend and I hope you'...

To those who believe in compromises in love,
To those who still have their arms open for their partner, even if he/she screws you like about 100 times,
To those who have been hurt, but did not loose faith,
To those who tolerate disrespect, neglect sugar coated with love
Don't take things which bring you down easily,
Don't just settle down for what comes your way,
Don't always let their moods and happiness rule above,
Cz sometimes it’s about your happiness too,
Be in spaces and relations which feeds your soul and helps you grow,
Be with the one who not only finishes your incomplete sentences,
But also reads all the chapters of your life,
Unfolds each page of your life while caressing you for what you really are..
Listens to you even when you act crazy,
Gulps your...
