Lost Souls…

“That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around you becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that this person is the only person that you’re suppose to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift and you wanna laugh and you wanna cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that it’ll go away all at the same time”.

What about great love? Do people still believe on this at this time and age? I wonder how far I’ll go to find the one…

Agnes and Patrick just called to find out how things were progressing in my life. They heard most of the “Tali group” were leaving the country and settling elsewhere so they were dead-worried about their little bro. They’re now married and living in China. They will forever be grateful to me for what I’ve done…

Agnes was heart broken 6 years ago. She ended a long relationship after finding out that her boyfriend got married in the US while working for six months. She was devastated. Imagine giving up everything for someone not knowing he was a descendant of the brute… I remember telling her how beautiful she was and how many guys in the world would love to be given the opportunity to be with her. I told her that what she needed was a big break. She took my advice and quit her job after four months.

To start her new life, she agreed to go to Hong Kong with us. I was with my girlfriend then trying to cheer her up the whole trip. Nothing was progressing. We almost gave up coz’ she did nothing but cry, regret, and then cry again… To make matters worst, she lost her luggage at the airport. We were all furious and almost got into a fight. Until something unexpected happened… In the middle of the scuffle, a guy approaches with a monogram roller luggage. It was love at first site, a “movie scene” at the airport. We all remember his very words, “are you Agnes Pratts? Wow, you look like an Angel. Oh, I’m sorry for all this. Look, we have an identical luggage”.

Patrick works for an investment firm in HK and a part-time model like Agnes as well. He insisted to take us all for dinner and the rest was history… “The realization of two lost souls finding one another after many lifetimes”. Agnes didn’t go back to Manila anymore. She called me up after a year and two months announcing the big proposal. It was a beautiful wedding in Hawaii… Their love for one another is overwhelming.  Now, they have two kids. Twins actually, boy and a girl. Their 3-year-old boy was named after me, Hans Alvin. They visit me once a year to thank me for everything. I can’t wait for their next Christmas and birthday gifts… Am I being a kid?

Once again, it got me thinking about love, big love, and great love.  How do I feel about all these things now? What will I do if I see my ex plastered around or out on a date?
Love, you get over in two months. Big love, you get over in two years. Great love, changes your life forever. So what was mine? Now, I’m proud to say it was only Big Love. Great liberation! Yes, I’m completely over and ready to move forward. I know it will come soon or maybe…
