The Unexpected Start
This goes back from pandemic. I was figuratively and literally lost sight on who I was back then. I always embrace where darkness is and instinctively love how beauty in the dark without knowing one day I will met the one who will light up my life.
Getting to know you
Diri ta nag sugod ug ila2x, Diri nag sugod ug tuyok ang akong kalibotan. Nag ampo raman unta ko ni Lord, Your will be done. And in a matter of time, naabot dayon ka. I may called this fate guro sa? From being a cave man turns into a decent man. Yes, I was moved and I decided to leave my cave. Diring dapita naka feel kog something that cannot be explain. Ni spark lang sa wala damha ang connection from being to Miss, to Ms then turns to BABI. I am really beyond words how magical the moment that was when I ask then the answer is YOU.
The Courtship
After sometime, We chatted more like everyday, then turns to other day and turns to sometime then it was ended. I really thought that it was really over on that time. I still in the stage of getting to know you and might as well getting the feelings for you. What I know that time is you are a family -0riented, God-fearing that you would attend online church every Sunday, a carrier oriented woman and a verry funny to be with. I feel pity on myself that time since I wanted to be with you ( a jobless,. caveman) but I believe you deserve more…I landed a decent job and seems like fate is calling you back to me. I know from that moment that I should go for it. I will take it, risk it and see it thru. From there, our courtship started. From magkita, mangaon sa IT park to Mamisita sa inyu. There I started as well get closer to God. We get our church dates or mangadto sa Plaza and well take our time to say what we wanted. To say our differences and to take a closer step on becoming “US:.
YES
July 10, 2022, A fine evening on this time. We went on a date. We ate till our mouths burst from foods and laughter and scrolled thru jollibee to sugbo merkado then to the park. We sat down one of the benches there and reminisce how our day went. That night was so magical, the closer our conversation, the closer our eyes met. We told each other on what would it be on the next step and what we cannot do. On a blink of an eye, while I was looking at the stars at the sky that seemed to be aligned. I hear you sweetest voice, slowly whispered, you said (YES!). I looked at you in the eye for a moment and asked, Are you sure?. I hear it twice, thrice and I could count no more. Its a YES. That night I still wearing my greatest smile till I got home. My feet still on the cloud like I was floating on a something so magical…
Coming Soon
Now that were already stepping on this 4th year in our relationship. Being in a fourth year of a relationship is a beautiful milestone often defined by deep-rooted security, mature intimacy, and a synchronized life rhythm. Deep-rooted security means I can be who I am, being confident that you will no longer be judged for what I will do ( mangotot sa imong atubgan ). Mature intimacy mean deep, emotionally stable connection where partners accept each other’s complexities, validate feelings, and embrace vulnerability. Lastly synchronized life rhythm, means moving through life in harmony, where partners align their routines, emotional availability, and communication tempos. It not always doing everything together rather supporting each other.. Our timeline may not be carve from a typical fairytale nor from a romeo and juliet love story, and that the beauty in it, We have our time, We have our differences and We have our likes. Getting this far is worth to celebrate and its more to celebrate getting more farther. You’re always been my reliable shoulder thru my darkest times. You always lend a hand for me when I think I already out of options. You always calm my mind when its been so stormy and chaotic. I know that you know I always liked to be alone and wanted to take things on myself but you always and always remind to share my burdens, my fears and even my darkest nights. Thank you Babi! Thank you very much. I know that theres a lot of things that you would like to do together but I keep holding you back but you always saved it with me. I really appreciate how you care for me. I will always be here as well to support you through out, whatever your goals will be and will make sure to keep this flame ALIVE. I love very much Lyka Adlawan. I hope and I believe that its coming soon. We’ll pray for our big day and soonest. I love you , I love you until we will say I do.
Four years ago today, we started a journey that has completely transformed my world, and as I look back on everything we have built together, my heart overflows with gratitude for the day you walked into my life.
From the very moment we committed to each other four years ago, my life gained a profound sense of purpose and brilliance that I never knew was missing, making this anniversary a beautiful reminder of the best decision I have ever made.
Through every high and low, your unwavering support has been my anchor, your laughter has been my favorite soundtrack, and your arms have become the only place in the world where I feel completely safe and at home. I am continuously amazed by the depth of your kindness, the brilliance of your mind, and the beauty of your soul, all of which make me fall deeper in love with you with every sunrise we share.
You are not just my partner but my truest confidante and my greatest inspiration, and watching you grow while experiencing the deep, unconditional way you love me has reshaped my entire understanding of happiness. Every shared glance, every inside joke, and every hurdle we have overcome together has only tightened the unbreakable bond we share, leaving me in constant awe of how beautifully we fit into each other’s lives.
I want you to remember that you will never have to face a single thing alone because I am right here, fully committed to being your steady anchor, your safe haven, and your absolute everything. I promise to be the shoulder you lean on when you are tired, the strength you need when you feel weak, and the constant warmth that shields you from the coldest days. Every single night, I find myself praying for our love, thanking God for the gift of you, and looking forward to every tomorrow because any future that has you in it is a future I want to rush toward. You are my heart, my soul, and my greatest blessing, and as we celebrate these four incredible years together, I want you to hold onto the absolute certainty that I love you the most, always and forever. I love you.
