This day, I accept that we're better off as friends.

This is a momentous day I dedicate for my self for I am declaring my self liberated from the hallucinations that we will end up with each other. I am setting my self free from the wounds I create my self. I, too, am washing off the tears that flooded my very own eyes and herein, I was able to see a clearer version of reality. 

You are the one I imagined myself being with for the rest of my life. In every picture I had in my mind, there was only one special woman who stood out in the crowd and it was you. There was only one hand that could fill-in the spaces between my fingers. There was only a pair of eyes I could look unto for the rest of my life, savoring that charisma through the windows of your soul. There was only one angelic voice that I could have exchanged the words 'I do' because today, I realize, and I accept that we're better off as friends.

Friends. 

That's what we are now and always will be. Yes, we didn't end up with each other but one thing in my life that I am most and forever be grateful of is that I met you. You shone a spectrum of light in my life that brought out the best in me. For the past years, I didn't believe the cliché that "I am at my best when I am with you" but when you're around, the latter was genuinely applicable to me. When you came into my life, I had a paradigm shift in every aspects of my existence. I had a reason to live. I experienced that every single moment of my life was well-spent for I was with you. I was earnestly motivated to achieve greater things in life because it's not just for my self that I am building a future 'cause it was for us. I have never been a fan of any love stories but because of you, I had to believe that I already met the Juliet of my life.

You are a magnificent flower of the first spring. I will let you bloom in your bountiful finesse and who knows, if we meet again and you weren't taken by a rightful owner yet, and you are ready to grow with me, then we can finally start cultivating our garden in the most perfect timing [I] we have long waited for. 

Today, I want you to know that you have a special place in my heart that others won't be able to fill-in. You are the best thing that happened to me. Best things in life are meant to be treasured and I choose to keep you in my heart.
