"I can't forget this. This was sometime in September. I was going back to Manila, a bit feverish and under the weather. I arrived at my place before noon. You sent me a text message some time after lunch. You were at the airport with soup, crackers, and I don't know what else. It was supposed to be a surprise, you fetching me there at the airport. But you're the one who got surprised. If only you got your geography right. I don't know if it was Tagbilaran or some other place in Visayas that you mistook for Bicol, but you missed me by a few hours. Still, it was the sweetest thing. If I have a heart, it would've melted."

wot?

"Out of the billions of people in the planet (what's the latest count, we're 9 billion?), how do you get singled out by someone from the rest?

You're you, just doesn't cut it out. I don't know, is a very vague reply. Maybe it is rationalizing. Maybe it is making sense of something that doesn't make a lot of sense.

So tell me, how did you fall in love with me?

I'm no different than the rest of them. There are a lot of guys better than me physically, intellectually, emotionally, etc-ally. In fact, I'm worse than a lot of them. In more ways than you can imagine.

When you tell me that you love me, I wish you can tell me why.

Humor me with a reason."
