I miss you Cathy

Some days I constantly look in a crowd and hope to see you there. It is a vain hope. You're now in San Diego, California, USA but I'm still here in Manila, Philippines.

I didn't mind that you never returned my affections for you. We were only friends and that was all. I don't even mind that you don't know that I miss you. I'm not the center of your world and I don't aspire to be the center of your world either.

It made my day, a long time ago, when you said after our SCUBA dive, that whenever you were with me, you felt very safe. You were always safe with me, wherever we were. Then again, that's what friends are for: we watch each other's back.

You will never read this love letter to you Cathy. I sealed it in the bottle of anonymity and tossed it into the virtual sea of the 'net. Then again, I didn't write it for you to read.

We were only friends and that was all.
