THE ONE (Bwakanangshet)

Shet na The One ‘yan o.

Sino ba kasing nag-imbento ng konsepto na ‘yan?!? Magpakita ka sa akin at mag-usap tayo!!!! Now na!!!

Don’t get me wrong, hindi ako ang naghahanap ng The One. Hindi rin ako ang nag-iisip na may The One. Hindi rin ako ang naghihintay para sa The One.

‘Yun na nga yung nakakainis e. Hindi ako---Siya.

At ang mas nakakainis, e mukhang ‘di naman ako ang The One na hinihintay niya.

There. one epiphanic moment--- a single statement that crushed the chimera. My chimera.

Hoy gago, hear me out, willya? Listen and listen well.

Yes, I’ve always believed that there is one person out there for me, na oo, siguro nga merong The One (for me). As a kid, I had this mindset that I ought to be looking for him, or I ought to be waiting for his arrival in this mess that is my life. But harsh realities confronted me as I was growing up, and I guess my concept of destiny was jaded. A lot of prospects came my way, quite a number of romantic experiences, pero hindi na bumalik ang aking zest sa paghahanap o paghihintay sa The One.

And then you came.

You and your gago self. Nung una, wala talaga, wala ka talagang impact sa akin. Nada. Sabi ko pa nun, isa kang taong walang magagawang matino sa buhay. Puro dada lang. Puro kalokohan, kagaguhan at kaangasan lang. Just like any mainstream guy that I know.
Then came a text message--- it only took one text message to change everything. Kung ako si baliw na may sense, ikaw siguro si gagong mabait. And after quite sometime, I began to know not just your gago self, but every little thing about you, may it be good, bad or even just outright funny. All those things endeared me to you.

It made me happy. Yes, happy--- but scared at the same time.

Scared because I then realized that I was starting to think that you, you and your gago self, may be The One--- the one person that made me believe in the concept of The One again; the one person I’ve been waiting for; the one person that, simply put, could be The One.

I asked myself, what the hell am I thinking?!?

But, I was happy. I was happy, and scared. But nevertheless, happy.

Happy because you might be the one. Hmm…no. I’m happy--- happily hoping that you are the one.

Sana, one day, you may also consider na maybe, just maybe, I may also be the one for you.

But until that time comes, you can be sure, I will be happily waiting on the sides.
