it took me more than nine years to finally have the courage to write this letter. in truth, i should have done this the day you treated us out to snacks just before our high school graduation. but i haven't got the courage then; afterall, sixteen is fairly young to say what I would like to say back then.
i do not know where i borrowed the courage now. i claim to have learned a lot of lessons through the years. and through those, i've learned that i am strong and brave, and that there is no subtitute for the truth.
maybe it is in knowing that you are leaving the country soon. there is a bit of comfort in knowing that there is that blanket of certainty that i will not bump into you and risk the awkwardness. afterall, this confession is nine years overdue.
maybe it is just now that i have realized that i am ready to take the leap and take flight towards my dreams. and in doing so, i need to free myself from all the loose ends i have had through the years.
or maybe, i just thought that a girly-teenage confession is way passé at our age.
so whatever the reason for this sudden courage may be, i just want to confess that i've been inlove with you in high school. i was inlove with you.
so there, that's the truth that until this time, i never had the courage to admit to anyone. sometimes, not even to myself.
but please don't feel burdened about this in any way. it was never my intention to pass the burden in writing this. i just want to be true to you and to myself.
i wish you the best in everything that you do and to wherever your dreams may take you. soar high. live for your dreams. be happy.
God bless you.

Y'know, if I was going to confess to Ned, I'd borrow this. :D You managed to convey your feelings but assure him of no expectations in a very concise way. I like it. :D
Send mo na! :D
thank you Kat. I've a mind to print the letter, take it with me sa send-off namin sa sabado and give it to him doon. i've a mind not to include anything that would tie the letter to me (no names, no cirscumstances hehehe...
ps...ching naduduwag ka na naman...
Teka, kung walang name... what's the point? Forever nalang siya magtataka, "Sino kaya sa classmates ko yung in love sa akin dati?"
Sabagay, on your part, mas makakagaan. Pero... hehehe.
I agree with Kat on both counts. Una, it's incredibly heartfelt and well-written, and straight to the point. Para bang "I love you, goodbye" hehe
Second, kung walang name, what's the point?!? You didn't need to write it that way kung di mo din sasabihin sa kanya kung sino ka. Might as well not write from the heart ^_^
Hahaha. Kung anonymous pwede na yung "P're, mahal kita. Ingat lagi mwah!" Hehehe.
ah hahaha...una, i just want to thank you both for the nice comment. lalakas ang loob kong ibigay ito. second, hindi naman anonymous...ang balak ko, ibigay sa kanya personally... u know..."pare, letter ko para sa iyo..." ganun...as in ibibigay ko sa kanya. kaya lang no names, no circumstances sa loob ng letter. so in case it falls on the wrong hands, hindi nila alam kung sino yun. security ko...pride ko naman aray kung broadcasted sa lahat ng pipol di ba. so sa recipient papakilala ako, what's teh point kung hindi sabi niyo nga hehehe ^_^
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Ok. That's good. :D At least he knows who it came from but if it's used as blackmail against you, you can deny kasi it doesn't have your name on it. Hahahaha. Ayus!
exactly... so in a way, naduduwag pa rin ako... eh kasi siyempre sa kanya lang naman ako magco-confess, hindi naman sa lahat ng tao...
