Sapul

Got this from Myko's mail. Punyeta! Tagos! This is exactly how I've been feeling for the past week.
*****************************************************

Unexpectedly you came. Indifferent and clueless but
you had the aura of complexity. I didn't bother to
recognize the beauty that was innate in you for
it was just one of those senseless conversations
for me.
We were both minding our own pointless existence.

As the witty exchange of words drew us together,
it suddenly occurred to me that this was
different. You were different. I instantly noticed
how amazingly smart you were.

That and more. I was the black pawn. You were the
white knight. We were always on the same board but
we never had our squares aligned. While I was busy
protecting, shielding my own realm, you were
having your own share of victorious moments. I
took my steps one square at a time, constantly
being aware of the threat that haunted me for
years. Your valor radiated from within while your
horse galloped. Your mere presence was too
overwhelming for me not to notice.

You were my metaphor.

Your vagueness was intriguing me.

For some strange reason it was as if I understood
every crap you've been telling me. I just refused
to acknowledge the fact that they were affecting me
this much. I was trying desperately hard to resist
being dragged any further into this but the scent
of paranoia that once lingered in my whole being
seemed to have faded.

It had its toll.

You had me.

We both knew that we could not justify the mediocrity
of it all. You once told me that caring for
someone over SMS was hypocrisy. Still you said you
meant those words that you blurted out that one
midnight when I was about to hit the sack. How ironic.

I had doubts about its sincerity, though. I told
you that. You didn't argue. You just understood.

I was confused that's why I just had to draw the
line. I didn't want to hold on to something that
was not even there. You assured me that it was
there, constantly hovering over my open palm.
Somehow I just
couldn't grasp it. Maybe because I was just trying
hard to get a grip of it for I feared that it
might go away. I realized that I wasn't letting it
have a chance to calmly rest on my palm. I know
you were just taking your time. You've been doing
that from the start. You would never know how much
I appreciated you for that. You were just probably
as scared as I was. Not even half I bet, for now
you have everything to lose.

I'm nearing the end of the chessboard. Soon I'll be
transformed into a queen. I don't know how to
rule. This whole sense of sovereignty and royalty
is far too profound for me to comprehend.

Give me reasons to trust you.

Tell me you'll guard me with all your heart.

Tell me you'll erase the fear that I've been
having of falling in love.

Assure me that you're the one I've been longing
for and I'll forever be yours.

Check. Your move
