How Do I Love Thee?: Archive

the last entry

I love thee… …but I decided to stop counting, stop posting, stop this nonsense. I’m stopping not because I’ve stopped loving you. True love cannot be measured. I started writing this exactly a month after I had confessed my love to you. Exactly a month after you so gently rejected me for reasons we both know. I heal through writing. And the longer I wrote about...

I love thee… …and the littlest of things you do that make me feel so special.

Oct 7th

0051

I love thee… …and the fact that our teasing and playful banter just shows our closeness to each other.

Oct 6th

0050

I love thee… …that my thoughts are always with you, even when we’re apart. Even when I’m overloaded with activities that I cannot spend some time with you. At least not yet…

Oct 5th

0049

I love thee… …so let me thank your mother, for making it possible for us to meet each other in this vast ocean of people.

Oct 4th

0048

I love thee… …despite distance and time. For although I do not believe our souls are inseparable, this love that links and binds us together is strong enough to brave the waves of arguments, pain and emotions we’ve had.

Oct 3rd

0047

I love thee… …for being capable of cheering me up with the smallest gestures.

Oct 2nd

0046

I love thee… …for you are my soul’s twin. Our circumstances and similarities are so uncanny, it’s amazing how we were able to meet each other in this vast planet.

Oct 1st

0045

I love thee… …because you are such a valiant and determined soul. Your deep and honest desire to help the world become a better place is touching and moving.

Sep 30th

0044

I love thee… …so I don’t think I’ll ever get mad at you. If ever I do, it won’t be for long.

I love thee… …and amidst this storm and gloomy atmosphere, I’m simply glad we’re both safe.

Sep 28th

0042

I love thee… …and I love hearing about your happiness. With him, and his cool randomness. For me, and my quiet and simple love.

Sep 27th

0041

I love thee… …that I would never deny. It is something I need not forget, unlike what my dreams imply.

Sep 26th

0040

I love thee… …so much. I love you even more, as we celebrate our relationships— you and your boyfriend, me and my girlfriend. And of course, you and me. Our very precious friendship.

Sep 25th

Sep 22nd

0036

I love thee… …despite knowing how change is the only constant thing in this world. Perceptions change all the time. Feelings too, over time. But at least let me say that at this moment, or since I started writing this entry, or writing this blog, or when I started thinking of you a lot, or perhaps ever since I first thought how cute you were, or way beyond all of these to the moment...

I love thee… …I know it now with surety, this love I have for you. Yet for so long, I questioned its existence. I ignored it, pushed it aside, even tried to throw it away. Now, I can no longer deny, even if I am in a state of limbo before an impending decision. Once more, I touch my ears and count three revolutions. Why did I blind myself to you?

Sep 20th

0034

I love thee… …I love our walks that lead halfway to somewhere, and the conversations held there. I miss those quiet moments when we sit on the curb, basking in each other’s presence. Sometimes, we hear a weird sound and not know where it came from. Lately, we found out. You laughed when I said it sounded like quacking, when it actually was from a frog.

Sep 19th

0033

I love thee… …and although I seem to esteem you too highly, I know you are human too. Just like me, you laugh and you cry. And when you suffer the tears to trace down your cheeks, is there any way for me to ease your pain?

Sep 18th

0032

I love thee… …and the efforts you do, no matter how small, to make the world a better place for us all.

Sep 17th

0031

I love thee… …and my heart never fails to skip a beat with every slight glance, little word, or even the smallest of brushes skin-on-skin.

Sep 16th

0030

I love thee… …and I still mean what I said about not minding anything, as long as it is with you.

Sep 15th

0029

I love thee… …and thy will to never give up. Exposed to such an aura, I desire even more strongly to support that light. That flame in your eyes.

Sep 14th

0028

I love thee… …that is why I want to become more of a reliable person. You can lean on me, too.

Sep 13th

0027

I love thee… …and how you paint worlds with your words. I can only dream of being half a writer as you. And what makes me admire you even more is that you are so humble about it.

Sep 12th

0026

I love thee… …that is why everyday, I write a confession. Like how I love the way you dress, or how the sun shines on your hair. It is because you are such a beautiful person— inside and out.

Sep 11th

0025

I love thee… …for you always seem to have a special concern for me, despite my being a heartless idiot. Oh! how I wish you are the one to melt this ice cold heart of mine.

Sep 10th

0024

I love thee… …and I love it whenever you would call me by the name you gave me.

Sep 9th

0023

I love thee… …because you could see through my facades, my masks and my pretensions. You know that this deformed personality, this imperfect being resides in me; and yet you still love me enough to desire to see me without my masks. You love me, as just me.

I love thee… …and it breaks my heart to see your eyes filled with unshed tears and yet there is nothing I could do but hold your hand in silence. I hope that that small gesture could somehow ease whatever pain you are experiencing. I hope that with all my heart.

Sep 7th

0021

I love thee… …so I want to be able to walk with you, shoulder-to-shoulder.

Sep 6th

0020

I love thee… …yet there is no longer any of the flushed faces or damp brows, no more of the powerful pulsating beats or the awkward stutters between silences. Nothing. There is only you and me, regardless of whether we have lovers or other people to think and dream about. This is kind of love still exists. I believe in that, and I hope you do as well.

Sep 5th

0019

I love thee… …so I have to let you fly to wherever sky you are headed, while I watch you soar from my lowly perch. Love is meant to be free, and I am well aware that if whatever we have is real, I would still find you by my side every now and then. That is enough for me.

Sep 4th

0018

I love thee… …so much that the feelings my heart cannot contain burst out as tears. Even now— when I already hold another’s hand— at the end of the day, it is still you my heart screams for. It is still you my heart yearns for. This is no longer romance. This is stupidity. But love is stupid, and I cannot let you know of just how much this heart quakes for you.

Sep 3rd

0017

I love thee… …for the simplest things you do and say. A simple “Good night” or “Thank you” is enough to make my heart race.

Sep 2nd

0016

I love thee… …simply because you are wonderful, with all your strengths and shortcomings.

Sep 1st

0015

I love thee… …as the wind kisseth the waves of sea. I love thine sky and it’s ever-changing face, for although neither could really be one with another, the sky and the sea could try to reach each other in the farthest horizon.

Aug 31st

0014

I love thee… …and I love the passion you express towards the things and people you love.

Aug 30th

0013

I love thee… …for the gentle kindness I felt from your whole being that night you turned me down.

Aug 29th

0012

I love thee… …and I love the intimate conversations we have every now and then — the secrets and experiences we share with each other. With each time, I see a little more of the world as you see it. I paint that image with your words, and see the big picture a little clearer.

Aug 28th

0011

I love thee… …and the littlest touches we share— small, almost unseen intimacies I treasure and protect in the deepest place of my heart.

Aug 27th

0010

I love thee… …and the small space that is ours and ours alone. It is a special place we take with us wherever we go.

Aug 26th

0009

I love thee… …as wouldst a flower, wilted and parched under the noon day sun, loveth a light shower of rain that cooleth and refresheth its face of petals.

Aug 25th

0008

I love thee… …for reminding me that life is always beautiful despite adversity and pain. You broke through my barriers. You released me from my self-erected prison walls. It was only then I realized that the sun also shines on a person such as me. You showed me that.

Aug 24th

0007

I love thee… …for knowing, even when I say nothing.

Aug 23rd

0006

I love thee… …and the scandalized look you’d shoot at my direction whenever I make a teasing comment. Often, I’d raise my eyebrows innocently and laugh, especially when you start throwing objects like empty pet bottles and crumpled table napkins at me.

Aug 22nd

0005

I love thee… …and that burning light I behold in your eyes. It sways with the wind and intensifies when a fire burns inside of you. Yet what I really like the most is when you would indirectly look at me as we share some quiet and light conversing; and I could see a sparkle in those dark orbs as if I’m gazing at a reflection of the night sky.

Aug 21st

0004

I love thee… …for never letting anyone dictate the way you live your life. Thine is a free spirit, and I love that.
