Everytime i kiss i feel your lips

Everytime i cry i see your smile

And everytime i close my eyes i realize

That everytime i hold your hand in mine

The sweetest thing my heart could ever find

And i have never felt this way

Since the day i gave your love away

This was the song that was being played in the radio when my husband and i had our very first dance. It was the moment when i knew in my heart that he is the one for me.

I was only 19 when i met him and he was 24. He was my neighbor's friend. At first, i really don't like him. He looks arrogant, he was loud and he had this annoying smirk everytime he looks at me. Then one day, my neighbor introduced me to him, he's name is Cris. That is when it all started. The more often we talk, the more i got to know him,the real him. He is kind, straight forward, speaks what is on his mind and he is very generous.

I know the fact that he had a girlfriend that time so i am contented to being a friend of his. And then i realize i had a crush on him. Everyday i was hoping that he will go to my neighbor's house so that i can see him. Months had passed, i notice that he rarely visit my neighbor. And i learned that he broke up with his girlfriend. I was happy and at the same time sad for him. But for me, it was my chance, lol!

After a week, he again went to my neighbor's house. We got a chance to talk about anything under the sun. It was like that everyday. Almost every night he was at his friend's house so we always had a chance to talk.

And this moment came when my neighbor turned his radio on and the song "EVERYTIME" by A1 began to play. He told me if i'd like to dance. I was like, OMG! I feel like there's a butterfly in my stomach, hahahaha. At that moment, i feel like heaven. I can hear his heartbeat. And i knew that he can feel me trembling,hahahaha. 'Gosh, i love him! And at that very moment, i told him that i love him. He suddenly stopped dancing, looked at me and said, why? I was out of words, i don't know what to say. So i guess because of embarrasment of what i did, i run home.

Weeks had passed, he never went to my friend's house. My friend asked me what happen that night and i told her everything. I was so heart broken. I feel like a loser. I am so embarassed of what i did. I should have never confess my feelings and be contented of being his friend.

Then one night, my tita told me that i have a visitor,and it was him! OMG! I was so nervous, i feel like my soul is leaving my body because of the emotions that is rumbling inside me, hahahaha.

And then we talked, he asked for an apology for not showing up for so long. He told me, he had to make sure that he love me because he does not want me to get hurt. All i could say at that time was, 'what? What are you talking about? I was so nervous that his words would not sink in. And then he hold my hand and said, 'I love you, do you still love me? i just nodded and cried, hahahaha. I really cried a lot that time, and then he hugged me and kissed me, just on my cheeks. I am so happy that day. I feel like i am the luckiest woman on the planet, lol!

Fast forward 

Now we have been together for 20 years and blessed with one daughter. It was never been easy. There was a time that we almost separate our ways. There are ups and downs but we overcome all of them because we knew that without each other, life would be meaningless.

I hope that you like my love story. Until now, everytime i remember those moments, i can still feel the same feeling that i've felt before.

P. S.

By the way my neighbor is a girl. Cris(my husband) and his boyfriend were bestfriends.
