The Letter

This is the first time that I will read the letter that Lins wrote for me. It took me sometime to gather some strength to read it because I haven't moved on yet. I slowly opened the wooden box where the necklace was placed together with the letter. When I was able to take the letter, I gently unfolded it. Even his handwriting makes my tears fall down. After a moment, I decided to start reading it.

" To Ali,

You know that I didn't like you at first when I first saw you in high school. I hated the way you laugh too loud, or shout even the way you sit annoys me. I never expected you to be my best friend, in fact I never planned to make you one. After some time I learned how to accept you specially when you defended me from the teacher who tried to degrade me just because of being late. I thank you for that. Thank you for the comforting advices, the late night rants, the laughs you gave, the smiles you put on my face everyday, the presence of a friend, everything that you did for me. I am very greatful of you being part of my life. I promise you that in your ups and downs I'll be there for you. When I saw you staring at the necklace you saw at the mall I was so eager to buy it for you but I'm sorry because I can't afford it. Instead of that necklace, I was able to buy you a different one which is right for my budget. I hope you appreciate it. I chose this clock necklace because I want you to know that even if we are not in the same place, time will bring us together, that even if time passes I will still be the same Colins Dela Vega you know.It is hard for me to say this in person so I will say it through a letter instead, but I hope after you read this our friendship will stay the same. Alison Grace I Love You. Even if we are not ment to be together in this life, maybe in the next we'll have the right love in the right time. My heart will always wait for the day when you are finally ready to share this love with me.

- From Lins"
