* Alam ko mismo ang itsura ng pagmamahal… NUNG GRADE 6

-Kahit na hindi ko pa talaga nakikita si “mahal”, pag nadaan siya sa kwarto ko sa bahay, makikilala ko siya
sa unang tingin palang. Teka… Si mahal, nakasuot siya ng…

+Makikilala ko siya agad, unang tingin palang, si “mahal”, siya yung may mahabang kayumangging buhok

-Si mahal magaling maggitara at alam lahat ng paborito kong, _______ kanta

+Si mahal, walang pake kung magbayad man ng “capacity” sa mga tricy drivers, basta kasama ako…

*AT ALAM KO

-Baka mali lang ako ng classroom kung saan ko siya hinanap

+Baka maling linya sa flag ceremony ang sinuri ko, pero alam ko, alam kong nandun siya, hindi lang ako
sigurado

-Kung mahahanap ko lang siya…

*Pero nung si “mahal” dumating na??

-Si mahal…

+Si mahal, ayaw magbayad kung doble ang singil ng tricy driver

-Si mahal, walang alam sa kahit anong kanta ng, _______________

*SA HALIP…

+Kapag kami’y naghahalik ni “mahal…”

*Nanjan yung ngipin naming, humahadlang…

-Si “mahal” ang nagging rason kung bakit ako madalas nagsisinungaling sa magulang ko

+”Ma, punta lang ako kela… kela Neil”

-Si mahal parang tanga sumayaw, pero hindi papalagpasin ang pagsayaw naming sa mga mabagal na
kanta

+ Si mahal, lagi yang nakaabang sa telepono nila, kasi alam nya, na kung yung tatay nya ang nagkataong
nakasagot sa telepono…

*“Hello?” ****panting “Hello??” **deeper panting “Siraulo, magsalita ka” ***beeep*

+Pero yung pagmamahal, lumaki

-Lumaki na para isang punong mangga

+Yung pagmamahal nagbago…

-Yung pagmamahal, nawala… Na parang, mga ngipin ng sanggol, unti unting nauubos lahat saakin, na
akala ko kailangan ko.

+Yung pagmamahal, nawala, na parang baguhang mago, na, lahat nakikita ang pinong lagusan, ako lang
hindi…

-May sirang gulong, may ibang lugar dina kong binalak puntahan…

*Pero hindi ko inisip lahat ng iyon

-Love stayed away for years… and when love FINALLY reappeared, I barely recognized him…

+Love smelled different now… Has browner eyes…

-A broader back, love came with scars and eyebags, I didn’t recognize

+New birthmarks, a sweeter voice

-Now there were new sleeping patterns

+New favorite books.

-Love had songs, that reminded him of someone else,

+Songs “love” didn’t want to listen to

*So did I…

+But we found a bench under the talisay tree, that fits us both perfectly

-We found jokes that makes us laugh

+And now, love buys me every food that I like,

-But love would probably eat them for a midnight snack

+Love looks great in lingerie, but still hides most of her marks…

-Love is a terrible driver, but a great navigator

+Love knows where shes going, it just might take her 2 hours longer than she had planned

-Love is messier now

+mmp not as simple

-Love uses the word “boobs” infront of my parents

-+Love chews too loud

-Love leaves the cap off the toothpaste

+Love uses smileys in her text messages

-And turns out?

*LOVE SHITS

-But love also cries, and tell you “you are beautiful…”

+And MEAN it

-Over and over again

+YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

-When you first wake up

+YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

-When you just been crying

+YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

-When you don’t wanna hear it

+YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

-When you don’t believe it

+YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

-When nobody else will tell you

+YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

-Love still thinks…

+……….

-YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

+But love is not perfect and will sometimes forget…

-When you need to hear it most…

*YOU ARE BEAITIFUL

-Do not forget this

+love is not who you are expecting, love is not what you can predict

-Maybe love is in Mindanao, already asleep, you are here in CVMC, wide awake. Maybe love is always in
the wrong timezone

+Maybe love is not ready for you, maybe YOU are not ready for love

-Maybe love just isnt the marrying-type

+Maybe the next time you see love is 20 years after the breakup, love is older now, but just as beautiful
as you remember

-Maybe love is only there for a month

+Maybe love is there for every firework, every birthday party, every hospital visit

-Maybe love stays

-Maybe love cant

*MAY LOVE SHOULDN’T

+Love exactly arrives, when love exactly supposed to, and love leaves exactly when love must

-When love arrives, say…

* “welcome, make yourself comfortable”

+If love leaves, ask her to leave the door open behind her

-turn off the music, listen to the quiet

+and whisper…

-“Thank you, for stopping by”.
