Time Travelled — almost 4 years

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Hi, this is the 16 y/o me. There’s this someone whom I’ve been chatting with for 2 weeks now. Sobrang confident ko nung in-approach ko siya kasi akala ko hindi ako ma-fafall. But guess what! I fell in love with this stranger. He made me feel that I’m worth the time, the wait, the adoration, the compliment, and the love. He made me feel so loved to the point that I don’t want to let him go, pero ginawa ko pa rin. Alam ko sa sarili ko na pagsisisihan ko yung pag let go sa kaniya but what can i do? Alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi ako ready so I don’t want to give him false hopes even tho I badly wanna keep him. Nagawa ko siyang i-let go kahit sabi niya na maghihintay siya. Pero pinigilan ko siya kasi alam ko sa sarili ko na matagal pa bago ako maging ready at baka mabagot lang siya kakahintay saakin. Paano kapag ready na ako tas siya naman yung napagod kasi sobrang tagal na niya naghintay? At nahanap niya yung pahinga niya sa iba, edi masasaktan din ako. Kami. Kaya ginagawa ko ito para saaming dalawa. Ayoko siyang makulong saakin kasi wala akong assurance na maibibigay. Ayoko siyang pagmukhaing tanga. Sabi niya pa nga sakin minsan, “Wag mo nang isipin ako. Kasi kapakanan mo lang din ang iniisip ko.” So it turns out we want the best for each other. That’s how matured he is. He’s so fcking selfless and that’s what made me liked him even more. But i guess I’m so firm with my decision. I’m gonna protect his heart from so much heartaches kaya ititigil ko na ‘to hanggat maaga pa. Kahit ayoko pero wala eh, hindi pa talaga ready kasi alam kong hindi ko pa siya deserve. I want to be deserving of him bago ko siya ipaglaban. Huwag muna ngayon. Kung sa future inihanda na ni God iyong para sa kaniya at hindi ako yun, siguro papakiusapan ko nalang Siya na maybe next life? I just want to keep him. So maybe if not in this lifetime, maybe in another life. Alam kong maiintindihan mo din ako sa tamang panahon beau. Saksi ang buwan sa aking tunay na nararamdaman para sa iyo. Happiest birthday! Until our next eclipse, my person.
