"Can't we just go back to the simplicity?"

Do you know what I'll miss the most from all of this? The stars. 
Can I make this promise now? I'm going to find a job in a place that'll let me see as much of the stars as we saw last night. For in those 2 hours that we lay there, beneath an infinity tent of heavenly lights, I experienced joy as I've never felt before. The cool rough sand I kept rubbing between my toes and fingers. Your low, calm voice as warm as the embers of the bonfire we had been sitting around a while back. The questions I wanted to ask but held back for some reason: What do you think about Islam? Have you ever thought about moving from your beloved city? Why do you think I'm special?

Stars.
Aliens.
Purple paint.
Rock turtles.

These are the things I have imprinted with memories of you. 

Is it too naive for me to hold onto the hope that I'll be able to do this again with you on a hillside in your beloved Baguio City? I hope not. 


Mahal kita, filipinoku.
