Countdown

Some thing's coming and I think it's going to be of the saddest days of my entire life. That is, me "bebe" leaving. He's not leaving because we're breaking up. He's leaving because he's going to work in the U.S. for three years. It might not only be for three years; if evening's turning out well, he might stay there for five years.

It's the 8th of March, a Sunday. I went to the Bureau of Internal Revenue in Quezon City. And as for him, he went home to Lucena in Quezon Province. I'm alone now, even though he hasn't left for the states, I can already feel the loneliness. I don't know if I'll be able to make it in three years.

During the past few weeks, he goes to work and study Capella. That's what his job is going to be. Running some software using the Capella application. I don't know and don't understand it but he showed me and I just nodded as if I'm understanding everything as he showed it to me a few weeks back.

There are so many things I'll miss when he's around. His company, jokes, his smell, his smile, words of encouragement, his kisses, his hugs and just the sight of him in the flesh.

It all came to me that he's really leaving when we bid farewell to a friend who went to California two Fridays ago. Bebe is supposed to leave the country with him on the same day, but his boss requested to extend his stay here. I was happy about that!

I'm sad because he's leaving but I'm also happy for him. This is a one time opportunity for him and I told him not to think twice and accept the offer. It's not only going to the US but he'll also have a chance to go and see different places which is at his age, he should be able to experience it.

I will miss him. Three year is a long time and thanks to yahoo messenger, it may be just a very short while.
