Back to Reality


The two days I've spent with Mac has been like a roller coaster ride. I can always feel the rush, but seems like it has to end anyway. Back in Manila, my friends are yet waiting for me to tell them my "dream vacation" with my dream guy. How it remains to be a dream, that I was never sure of.

Macy was waiting for my school bus to arrive on a Monday morning. And because I was having migraine due to my period, I stayed mum when I saw her standing at our school's gate.

I think it feels like one of the Charmed episodes when Phoebe Halliwell has premonitions of the events that are going to happen. I remained calm, but I was definitely feeling all mushy and remembering the rush during the night we talked under the stars.

Then I said, "Oh, so you did track me after all? I've waited for you for weeks you know?".

How I got the courage to send it? Maybe it was the miles separating us. This I just have to do. My heart says I should take the risk or lose it all.
