A Note In the Wind

On a cloudy Wednesday,
While listening to my favourite Tagalog playlist,
I scribbled a love note. 

Dear Love,
I don't know you yet, but I want to do life with you.
I can already feel how random meeting you would be; or maybe not.
I have so many secrets to share with you;
Will you keep my secrets?
I'll keep yours as well .

Then, I paused. 
Thinking of what to write next. 
My eyes shifted to my music player.
‘Muse’, the track I love came on. 
While mouthing the words of the song,
The love note I was writing flew right past me; 
Released into the wind.
Looking at the note which seemed to drift farther from my sight,
I mouthed the words that would have ended the love note.

 I’ll prove my heart to you
 I'll make you to be proud of what I feel for you...  


Your love
