Reunion

     I met a boy whose eyes no longer light. No matter how hard he tried, all he sees is darkness. In the cave where he lived in, there are plenty of faces he talks to with and each one has a name: Anger, Guilt, Envy, Pain and Vengeance. But they aren’t friends since the beginning of time, he have met them a little while before he met me. It was always a whirlwind of emotions whenever I try to open the door where they reside, he just never let me have a glimpse of them, not even once. Since then, he and I are always together; we ran, we climb, we laugh, and we’ve shared our own universes, all the songs and the verses. But there’s one thing he can’t tell, since the day we’ve met he has never told me about his name, I just don’t know why he can’t remember. Sunrise and sunsets of being together and he teased me that I’m always full of hope, funny cause that’s really my name, he forgot that I am Hope. I asked if we will be returning to the cave where he lived and he said no. “Then when will you come back home?” he hugged me and replied “I’m already home”. His eyes became the torch we used to build when we feel cold; ironically, it have never felt so old. His eyes, they have been gleaming all over the places our feet have touched. As we run across the woods, I held your hand and told you that I was scared of not being able to go back from  where we started – “Not all who wander are lost”, your lips mumbled as you caressed my face, in my mind it keeps on repeating “somehow that was everything”.  We have reached the end and found the clearest waters in the world.; And I know to myself that I have never seen such a wonderful view: you we’re looking at it, and I was looking at you. He’s an open box in front of me, the depth of how I’ve known him. But he’s a wild flower, whose name he still hasn’t grasped. We stayed there for a couple of hours, staring at the skies, we’re mesmerized. The stars have aligned as to my heart have aligned to you, the way it’s supposed to be even way back before. And then you speak suddenly, staring straight through my soul’s lenses. “I have found myself when I have found you” his eyes sparkled as the crystallized liquid have found their way out. “All this time, I’ve never realized, you’re always there for me. I left for a long time I forgot, there are things I didn’t see, but how lucky I am that for the second time, we’re being brought by fate”

“All the heartaches have never turned me down, all the roads I’ve crossed for you, now I’m glad to know you’ve found yourself again, welcome back my Faith” - Hope
