Leaving on a jet plane
Today is THE day…
My sweetie boarded the 6PM PAL flight to HK at the Centennial Airport…
I hold my breathe…this is such a big step for me. I say so because Ive never been good at handling distance… Im not into long distance relationships. I was homesick about 80% of the time I was on a US assignment. Im not interested to migrate or settle down in a foreign country . Im not even the least interested to find work outside of the Philippines.
So how come, the minute I find the love of my life, I dont even utter a protest as he tells me that he is going for a month’s vacation to go trekking in the mountains of HK?
Of course I protested…. I did right after he got his ticket from his agent. I didnt have the heart to tell him how I really felt before he went to the travel agency. I did want him to go on this much needed vacation - one that was planned long before I came into the picture…but oh it tears my heart to realize that I will be without him for a month.
All I could whisper was… sweetie, i dont want you to go….
But let him go I did…and now he is there…in HK…
Sweetie - enjoy your trip. Know that I will be waiting patiently and eagerly for the day that you will come back…and hold you to your promise that after this trip we will never be without each other for this long.
I love you baby….
