these are not. letters to people. stuff to be passed on as gossip or gospel. this is just my story. how i see things. history as it unfolds. life as it revolves. around me. around you. around us.

how do we measure our time together?

September 19, 2006

according to the film rent, we can measure time in different ways, in minutes, in diapers, in speeding tickets, etc.

in our case, we can choose to measure it in the number of kisses i planted on your cheek, your lips, your forehead. the number of times i hugged you. the number of times i fall asleep on your shoulder. the number of times you stroke my hair. the number of times you whisper sweet-nothings.

we can measure it by the number of the times we fought. the number of times we made up. the number of times you smile and pinch my cheeks. the number of times you wiped my tears. the number of times you copy the way i act when i’m mad and by the number of times i laugh when you copy me.

we can measure it by the number of times we finish each others’ sentences. the number of times we pick each others’ nose. the number of times we shared a cigarette. the number of times we got drunk together. the number of times we danced without music. the number of times we laugh at our own silliness.

we can measure it by the number of text messages we exchanged. the number of days we’re together and making every minute count. the number of times i let you carry me in your back because i’m too tired to walk. the number of times you wait outside our gate when we fight and give me cheesy fries because you know its the only way to make me cool down. the number of times you tickle my armpits when i get mad.

we can measure it by the “i love you’s” and the “i miss you’s” or the number of times you request for a kiss or a hug, even in words only.

as rent says, and, for us, it’s true…WE MEASURE IT IN LOVE.

I love you Raph.^_^ 

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes - how do you measure,
measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In
inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In 525,600 minutes - how do you
measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love.
