YOU and ME, A Separate Entity

Please know that I imagined my life with you.

I'll wake you up in the morning caressing your face and whispering in your ears, "Honey, wake up." We'll both prepare for work. You'll cook our breakfast or maybe I will depending on whose in the mood. Or if we're not in the mood, we'll just grab anything that's edible. We'll never have to worry about that because we're made to be flexible in all aspects of our relationship.

We don't need to call or text each other every now and then because we both know that what we need is to focus on our day jobs. But we'll both be excited to get home and talk about our day because we know that constant communication is what a lasting relationship needs.

Some other nights you'll be out late, you'll hangout with your buddies. You'll drink some beer, smoke some cigarette. Some other days, I'll be the one who'll spend quality time with friends. We don't need to mess with each other's social life. You could accompany me at times and vis-a-vis. But a girl's night out or a boy's night out is strictly followed. We are at ease because trust is our foundation. There are no set rules we are simply faithful with each other.

On certain days that we are both too lazy to do things, we'll just lie in bed and talk or sleep or read or listen to music or simply just lie down and do nothing. Each other's presence is enough because we both know that we don't need anything or anyone.

We'll go out on a date, it maybe seldom but it will be a different kind of date like visiting a museum and admiring certain art pieces or going in a place where there is "nothingness". We don't do the cliches, because we look for something different and something extraordinary. Something that will keep the relationship going and not boring. 

We'll go on different places, we'll experience different cuisines and cultures. You'll take pictures and we'll write our stories. Each and every piece of our experience will be recorded because we want our story to be told, to inspire, to motivate, to encourage.

We'll be doing the things that we want the most and we'll experience the world together both its ups and downs, all its compassion and cruelty, all its happiness and sadness. Everything that it will throw at us we'll surely face it head on because we are in it together.

But sadly, all these are just made up situations. All these are the "could have been". All these are just hopes that will never be met. All these are just ideas. Because all these are the things that we want but sadly fate does not allow us to do all of these and to experience all of these. Because now we are not in this together. You have your battle and I have mine. We started as "you" and "me" and we ended up like that again. There is no "us" once more.
