We were here

We were there at Macao. Where you secretly took a picture of me trying to take a photo of the huge teddy bear. We had caramel hair and matching phone cases. You almost left that yellow bag after we ran around places.

We were there at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Where we had our first time lapse. We took more pictures and found ourselves missing Dave a little.

We were there at SM’s Skating Rink. Where I bragged about watching tutorials only to eat my words and fall five times. You were worried about your khaki pants but laughed it off when your phone met the ice.

We were there at SM Cinema. It was my first birthday with you. Dave was there too. Movie 25 was a solid watch but none could top off that malunggay pandesal paper bag.

We were there at Quantum. Where you watched me unleash my inner Kuroko while you Zen Zen Zen-ed that other game.

We were there at Beyond Coffee. It was your first birthday with me. It was just us two. I couldn’t think of a present so I chose to give you a shared experience. Art is art even if we didn’t get to finish our paintings.

We were there at Ezekaya. That secret but not-so-secret place of yours. I never knew that curry tastes better with your favorite person. But now I’m craving it again.

We were there at Sari. That special place of ours. We finished our previous painting and started a new art piece with our feelings. Who would’ve thought we’d finally be on the same chapter in the same page of the same book after several years? That prayer, will be the first of the many prayers we’ll have together.

We were here, we were at these places. Making and leaving good memories with every stop. Tell me, where are we going next?
