I've waited despite the odds

we were supposed to meet that Sunday afternoon. But, for some reasons, we did not see each other. There was no contact between the two of us. It happened for the first time since we started seeing each other regularly. You know, the typical same place, same time. That day was historic. It was like you made me feel you did not care. I've waited and waited for minutes which turned to hours.. You did not come. You did not arrive. I did not see your face. We did not share another moment..

Then suddenly, I realized, there was no signal for smart telecoms subscribers. But still, I was there because I thought you'd also be there. I went home at about 6:00PM. The day I started with much anticipation and excitement turned gloomy and frustrating.

I slept that night thinking what went wrong. At 10:30PM, I was awakened by the beep of my cellphone. It was you saying good night. Thank God, still, for the signal was back. I replied to you with a question why you did not come to our meeting place. You said "I had a family problem to attend to." You explained some more with. I was convinced. Your reasons were logical. I could only empathize.

Now, I still thank you for coming into my life. The very least that I can do is to look forward to the next time hoping and believing despite the lack of signal, we could use our nexus through our hearts.

Missing you much. Wishing to be with you always..
