Someone is celebrating his birthday today. And as a gift, I wrote him a letter because I know; he’s the senti kind of guy. So here it goes…
Pare,
Special day, special day. Pa-cheeseburger ka naman! Kidding! You know I always start with a corny joke. That’s like, a MUST before I start talking to you.
Anyway, whoa! You’re a year older again. I can’t believe it. It was just like yesterday when I greeted you a very happy 22nd birthday (wait, 22 or 23? Peace!)And now, you’re already 40 (kidding ulit!) But regardless of the age, you still look 18 to me. Promise. (Uuuy, natuwa! Haha!)
I don’t know if you feel this, but I think the two of us spent most of our college years together that we can already enumerate the things that have happened and changed during the past couple of years—your relationships, my “almost” relationship, your Math grades which are always waaaay better than mine, and your bag and my bag which are always, always in gubat mode! And there are actually a lot more, a lot more that I can not say because we promised that those things are going to be just between you and me.
Maybe, that’s the reason why we’re a good tandem. Because we can keep each other’s secret. Because, no matter how hard some people try to keep us apart, we always end up being together—not as a couple—but as partners in crime. And I will always be grateful for that.
