Nag-umpisa ang lahat na narito ako at nandyan ka. Ikaw. Ako. Tayong dalawa, magkasama. Oo, marami pang iba pero sa wari ko'y wala nang iba pa. Nagtagpo ang ating mga mata. Nalunod ako sa iyong titig. Di ko alam kung ano ba dapat ang madama. Nakakakilig. Nakakatuwa. Pero mas nakakakaba. Iniisip kung kaya, kaya ba? Nagbabakasakaling sana. Sana pwede. Sana kaya. Sana ay makilala kita.

It happens when you accidentally step on a puddle and get your feet
wet
