this is JB's letter to Celine (from Maging sino ka man)...
i just think this is one of the best love letter i have ever read.
"My dearest Celine,
One day I will disappear completely. The letters will
mean nothing. The world will get tired of me...
You will get tired of me, I will get tired of myself and I...
I will never get tired of you. For you there will be
no endings. I will say your name over and over like
a refrain, my prayer to no one. Then I'll be a flower,
the one you'll never pick. I will endure the breathless
waiting till boundaries disappear...
With nothing to do, I'll make new constellations.
Images of you as I remember. Dancing, sitting, walking.
There are stars from a different view but still I see
nothing but you. Unfurling like a flower, swiveling
like a leaf... I once watched you sleep beside me.
It was dark then... but the darkness is deeper now.
Tonight in my dreams, I will see you. My lady,
clothed only in light... Like a kite, I've given myself
up to the wind,I made friends with the sun, confused
the birds with strange and distant voyages... but it is
you that ties the thread and holds me down. Like a kite,
I will forever hold your hand and with the burning
human longing in your hands, we surrender...
Only travelers leave but I've never been a traveler
for I have never left. I'm lost,simply. Wanting to be in
a place I've never been and will never be... Of all
destinations, I long to be lost in the fields of your hair,
lost among your thoughts as you are already in mine.
My life started when I loved you and that is how
I want it to end.
Yours forever,
JB
