"I love you not because of what you can give me, but because of what you can take, I am so willing to give, I love you because... I love the me when I'm with you, sometimes you have to fight hard just to make love survive, get hurt, always badly but what's important is that you gave it a shot, real love is never regretful and even if it fails to last, real love should only make you a better person, a stronger person, and in love real strength is knowing when to give up the fight and finally let go!" - JB Berenguer (to Celine Magsaysay), MSKM Book 1
More often than not, what actually makes a great love story are the unforgettable quotes from the characters about how love is seen from every true lover's eyes. The words spoken may hint of pure bliss, joy, despair, hurt, and even hatred. Love stories remind us that love, in it's every aspect, is as inevitable as the air we breathe in order to live.
In two week's time, my most favorite soap opera on prime time TV, Maging Sino Ka Man (Book 2), will bade farewell on air. I am not ashamed to admit that I have been a staunch follower of the series, something which I share with the rest of the Diaz clan (yes, we are all PROUD KAPAMILYA). I must say it's not really the raunchy scenes of JB and Celine (Sam Milby and Anne Curtis) in Book 1 that got me hooked to the drama, nor the all-too-often pa-tweetums scenes of Eli and Jackie (John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo). The unforgettable words from the main characters, not to mention the different facets of love depicted in the drama, has made its way in my family's hearts that led to our MSKM addiction. I would like to share the unforgettable poem by JB to his dear Celine at a point in the drama when epiphany dawned onto him and he realized that what he shared with Celine was, after all, true love. This is my ode to what I can consider as the greatest love story that television has ever written... so far.
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 die.
But 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.
And will endure the breathless waiting till boundaries disappear.
With nothing to do, I 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 my self 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 hauls me down.
Like a kite, I will forever hold your hand.
And with a burning human longing, in your hands, I surrender.
I will never get tired of you.
For you there will be no endings.
I will say your name over and over...
Celine... Celine... Like a refrain; my prayer to no one.
You know I will never get far.
And there is no need for my return.
I've never been a traveler
For I have never left.
I am 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.
You are my imperative to live.
My life started when I loved you.
And that's how I want it to end.
