The path I chose

Seconds seemed like hours....
minutes seemed like days...
and hours seems like years...

He said he would come back... he said he would...
I looked at the playground... it was empty... I kept looking back, thinking he would return...
I set on the playground bench... and waited...

Seconds dragged to minutes...
Minutes dragged to hours...
And it started raining...

The time was 9:30 pm when it started raining...
There wasnt a shelter in sight, there wasnt a cover for me...
I kept my hope alive, lighting it with hopes that he would return for me...

I was entirely drenched, yet I still set down on the bench and waited...
He had to return, he must...
He could never leave me in the lurch..... or could he?

I never knew what was love... but all I know that the epitome of friendship is brotherhood or love...

Slowly, in the midst of the downpour, I saw him...
I thought I was sick and going delirious....
But yes... it was him...

Both of us looked at each other for a moment, and in that moment, every single thing that we did together...
The good times, and the bad, the playing and the studying took a new perspective...

In that brief moment, both me and him...

Took the other path... together...

He was drenched all over, and so was I... but how long we hugged, I do not know...
It was only 3 months, but the things I wanted to tell him was so much...
I missed him so much...

When I released the hug, I realize I was crying... and when I looked up, he was too...
Both he and I placed our friendship on the epitome... and finally my heart started to beat again...

He went away for 3 months, I waited for 6 hours....
Longing for his return... His smile, and his cheerful countenance...
His playful punches and serious thoughts....

We looked at each other and realize that we needed each other..
We had to have each other... without one, the other cant live as well...

Every moment, everytime....

For now, forever....

As I flipped throught the pages of my life, I realized that this isnt another paragraph, this isnt just another chapter.... This was the prologue, of what I am today...

I needed love...
The path I chose, the path I walk...
Many people condamn me,
Many people mock me...

But until the day they put themselves in my shoes
Until the day they become me...
Then will they have the right to say that this is not love
Then will they have the right to say that this is from the devil
Then will they have the right to say that... I should not have chosen, this path...
