i love you

those words came when i needed them most. today is a sad day for me. sadness for me is like rain. i don't know when it comes but i know that it would and will come at any time. and just like rain, i can't control it. i just wait for it to stop.

to keep myself from wallowing and sulking, i contacted some friends.

i called up mae to bid her well wishes for her schooling in japan. just before we hung up, she said, "luv u ems". it was surprising but i needed that. my good friend probably felt it at the other end.

i sent a text message to tita virgie just to say hi. she told me to take care with "love you" at the end of the message. i needed that.

they filled in what i felt was empty in me today. i'm glad to have contacted them.

though, i was wishing that someone would also tell me those words. someone who crept up unexpectedly in my life just recently. i'm just waiting.
