this is not a farewell

tonight, i will start counting the days and nights until you are with me again. i'm missing you already. we just parted ways this morning when i left you at the bus terminal. you're going home. i understand. i was even the one who prodded you to go. because i knew that you would always carry the burden in your heart if you don't. and because i believe in you. i believe that you can do wonders. that you can make things work. that you can get your family through this most difficult time, whatever happens. i love you dear. even if i don't show it. even if i sometimes get mad at you. as the song goes...ikaw lang ang nais makatabi, malamig man o mainit ang gabi... kaya kahit nag aaway tayo, ayoko pa rin mawalay sa iyo. ingat ka.
