i have a tale to tell. . .

I was 12 when i first saw him. a boy who was described

as boastful by his friends. i can still remember, he was

my group mate one Filipino class, he called my name,

"iris," and he gestured me to write the answer on the

board. having this shy nature, i just smiled at him,so

he went to board and wrote my answer. Also, one health

class, when i couldn't give a text from the Bible about

one's health, he stood up and helped. My friends who

knew i like him said he was my savior. It was one friday

afternoon when we started texting each other. I was at

the mall with my mom and sister when he asked who i

like. I said i like a 4th year student named "Sho,".

When i asked him who was his, he then replied IRIS. i

asked the last name, and he said ROBEVES. That was the

first time i felt and defined KILIG. and then the next

day, it was sabbath, it was raining and i was in my

room, texting. I asked him something, and he replied "it

developed when i knew u once liked me too." well okay. i

told him i used to like him, well in fact i do super

duper like him when we were txting the day before. And

so, you may say, M.U., or a puppy, incy wincy mutual

understanding. I think it was 3rd grading when i couldnt

put my cellphone down because i was txting with him. My

parents never knew about him. I dont know what happened

when suddenly he stopped txting me. 2 years passed and

we've grown. Well, he has grown. In those years, he was

in love with a great girl i will always admire. In those

years, i was into many boys. My friends said i was

collecting and selecting.


I was 15 when i met this man.

yeah, i think i can call him a man. He had matured a lot

from the first time i saw him. His voice grew deeper,

and he was really really tall. I couldnt explain the

complicated things that happened before ive come to

realize i was in love with him again. In December 2009,

i showed him my heart. At first, i was scared to open

up, but then he embraced me with his love. That boy who

plays well in all sports, basketball and volleyball MVP,

a member of the Young Voices who will sing til Christ

comes, someone who has the passion for Music, who is

smart and good looking, sweet and intimate, someone who

has guts to show up on my 16th birthday, the only one ive

introduced to my parents, someone who i am proud to

have, the one who changed me to a better girl, or lady

you may say, one who made me closer to God,

the love of my life, the one who said he can't be

a complete man without me.

Well, sure this is a love story but the rest is still unwritten. . .
