dusk and dawn

in one of your first love letters, you enclosed two photos: a sunrise and a sunset. that gesture sealed my doubts closed. everyday, there’s only one set of sunrise and sunset. and to capture those, you have to have an entire day spent. especially if we’re talking of the year 2003, an era where digital cameras and photo printing weren’t yet as affordable as they are now.

years after we tried to forget our year long fairytale, those photographs still laid untouched in a box where together with all the trinkets of our young love, i kept you.

since then, and until now, i look at sunrises and sunsets with the same degree of pride and hope that those photographs have given me. the opposite ends of everyday were the pillars from where i took the strength to believe in our promises and wait for your return.

magpahanggang ngayon, sa akin, nananatili kang
bukangliwayway at dapithapon
