Eight billion people in the world -- that means billions of lost connections. People live day by day, knowing some bridges have been burned and there are bridges that will never even be built.I am glad that, in the ocean of people and in the sea of impossibilities, we did not fall in the category of missed connections.
We did not look for each other. It was not a search for something or someone. It was all a "happy accident" -- a concoction of events, choices, circumstances, situations, mistakes and luck. All the roads led us to each other.
It was a happy accident. And for that, I am grateful.
It was not the way people talk about it. We did not finish each other's sentences. Time did not stop or slow down. There were no butterflies in my stomach; we were not even in a garden.
There were no birds singing in the sky. It was just an ordinary day on the surface of this planet. It was not an eventful moment in the universe.
In fact, from then on, we have had moments when we clashed, we fought and we argued. There were days it was sad and difficult, of course. Nevertheless, we also laughed, hoped, dreamed, achieved and felt happy. All these, we shared together and this is what made them special.
You have given me a whirlwind of emotions. Romance is not our goal; we just enjoy each other's existence. And, your words and your presence have taught me so many things about the world, about you and about myself.
It was never your goal to teach me but you did anyway. I am happy our paths did cross and I do not want it any other way. For all the pain, happiness and contentment our unlikely friendship has brought us, I am a better person because of you. - Janela Kaye V. Villar
