The First Look Into Your Eyes

That afternoon…. That look… Made my world feel warmer

If someone asked me when everything started, I wouldn’t say it was a confession, or a text message that was sent to me, or some type of “hallway scene” straight out of a K-drama.

It was a look, just a single look.

Well, not just a single look, but the look that would rewrite my future.

You know that kind of look? yung unnoticeable, yung parang ordinary lang, yung look na parang napansin mo lang.

Back then, I didnt knew that a single action, could carve the path Im walking right now. A single heartbeat could grow into something more…. big. Like a whisper that echoes into the empty hallways in the afternoon.

I didn’t realize that a stranger’s eyes could be a doorway into a version of myself I never knew existed….

It all started in that quiet, but warm afternoon

In that cafe, where it overlooks the shore, where the sun sets, and rises. It felt ordinary, yet somehow…. comfortable.

We were so close to each other, but also, far apart.

I stared at you, thinking you wouldn’t notice me, but you did.

Your head tilted slightly, Your expressions, Your eyes that seems to shine brighter than the sunset behind us.

You’re something I couldn’t describe

Maybe not yet

We crossed paths that afternoon, and I knew it was enough…

It was enough to make me think of you every single night, enough that I’d start noticing you in the corners of my life, and I didn’t expect that youre the reason my boring world….

Slowly began to feel warm.

But that’s the thing about moments that changes us

We never see them coming.

When our eyes met, I felt something that made me yearn for you

And maybe you felt it too, or maybe I’m the only one who cares

Either way, that single look started everything

Those moments filled with laughter

The mistakes we make

The satisfaction that we are in the right place

The memories that we will cherish someday

The feelings I tried to hide

The things I wanted to say but I couldn’t express it in words

All of it, began because of that tiny moment.

The first look into your eyes

Would unknowingly change my whole life forever
