It’s a usual afternoon. I was admiring the orange sky while I was leaning against the railing of the bridge where I usually go to. Nakatitig ako sa kawalan, feeling this usual yet unusual feeling that builds up in me whenever I am here. It's unexplainable. I feel like I'm safe yet fears arise. I feel at home yet home is far away.
May kulang. There's something that I'm seeking for but I don't know what it is and how I'm supposed to find it. This bridge is something. It feels so enchanting as if it was sacred and magical.
I was about to go home since it's starting to get dark when my eyes caught a guy's silhouette from a distance. Hindi ko maaninag ang mukha niya pero sigurado akong nakatitig din siya sa'kin. We are frozen in each other's places, blankly staring at each other. I can feel my heart beating faster than usual. In fact, it was in its fastest state.
His facial features are not familiar, but the feeling was. Parang sanay na sanay na ako sa ganitong pakiramdam. My fears were gone and all that's left was peace. Home feels like a meter away from me but it's unreachable.
Longing.
How am I supposed to feel that by just staring at a complete stranger?
Suddenly, I heard a voice in my mind which made my heart aches and my head pound. "Dito, hihintayin kita. Sa pagitan ng dagat at ng kalangitan, sa ilalim ng buwan, hihintayin kita. Magtatagpo tayo, sinta."
