Letter for Death.

Dear Silence,

It’s been a while since our last relation. And I guess we already figured what we really have.

You have always kept your words behind your mind and I respected that. You wanted your privacy so I gave you autonomy. Freedom to hush. Freedom to shroud.

You wanted to take things simply.  You alleviate thought-provoking subject by ignoring the demands. And we set off to that.

Your absence might made me little meddlesome, but you can nail down that my loyalty is into you.

But your stillness made me think, have I been distinguished?

From the time that we’ve been connected your welfare is what I am ALWAYS looking after.

The time that you did something wayward I took your voice for you not to be in trouble.

From the day I learned your confidence I took no action for you to keep your mystery.

You may be flagrant on things that you want but my endurance accepted you unshakably.

But above all of these have I been valued? Respected? I tried to befriend you but your dumbness makes the refusal apparent. Your peace might not been stirred by my persistence that’s why you never see me.

I have given the most sincere companionship that I can offer which is discarded. And like what Fortitude have said: I let people go when they walk away from me. My destiny is never tied to anyone who obviously doesn’t need me.

And like a famous catch phrase: Napakabait ko sayo para gaguhin mo ako.

And with all of these..

Your former friend,

Patience
