Prologue

Have you experienced being in love with your text mate?



That you can say to yourself that it’s love in its truest



sense because if you’ll ask me, I have experienced that kind



of experience already. I didn’t expect to know someone like



him; someone who will love me in spite of my imperfections –



in spite how imperfect I am. Even though we haven’t seen each



other yet; even if we just talked in the phone; even though



text and facebook are our only communications, I can always



feel his presence unlike those other people there, even if



they’re always seeing each other, everyday, they will just



snob each other; not even talking to each other. So, seeing



each other every day is just useless! Love isn’t about how



many times you see each other, it’s how your heart met and



connect even if you’re far apart. But, in my part, in my



situation, it’s different. Really different! I can always feel



I have a loving and caring boyfriend that I can say to myself



that I have already found the best man for me. That I can say



to myself I have met my angel even before I reached heaven.



He’s the only one who gave importance to my existence. I know



that you find it hard to believe what I’m talking about. I



know that you doubt our relationship. I can’t blame you



because I was also like that before. I don’t believe love in



just text! Disadvantages? You’re not seeing each other; you



don’t know what your boyfriend/girlfriend is doing; you don’t



know what he/she really felt; you don’t know if he/she is just



fooling you around and just making fun of you; and, most



especially, you don’t know if you’re really the only one for



him/her. Those were the disadvantages but, if you have trust



to your partner, you can handle your relationship well. And if



you’ll ask me, I’m serious here! I love him and I’m not



fooling him. He’s the only to me. I have fallen perfectly in



love in an unexpected time and with the unexpected person like



Shaun Brent Chiong del Castillo.





Love really moves on such a mysterious way because, it’s



really a mystery how his mind leads his hand to type my number



and dial it. ‘Do not find love; love will just find you’.



Really true! Because I’m not looking for love the moment he



step into my life. Actually, I’ve been trying my best to



escaping from Cupid’s trap. I’m trying to run away from his



stupid arrow. But, what can you do if love comes along?



When you love, distance is not a hindrance – it’s not a



reasonable reason to give up your feelings. Who cares? What if



were too far from each other? The most important thing there



is that; he loves me and I love him too. We love each other –



we really love each other’s imperfectness. And, no matter what



happens, I will still love him; always and forever.
