sleepless in cainta
hahaha. my title has obvious reference to sleepless in seattle. for those of you who do not know the movie, it starred Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. it was of romantic-comedy genre and was about destiny...
but the title offers more truth than the obvious reference to the movie. for sometime now, i find myself unable to sleep immediately. i usually resort to either watching tv, reading a book, or writing in my journal until my eyes tire themselves out.
but how come i can't sleep?
let me refer you first to something from the movie sleepless in seattle. the scene was during the phone interview with Samuel Baldwin (Tom Hanks) by Dr. Marsha Fieldstone of Network America. Sam was dragged on the phone by his child Jonah so that he can have some help from a clinical psychologist, who was also hosting a radio show. Dr. Marsha (that's how she wanted Sam to call her), asked what about Sam's wife did he liked the most.
... it was a tiny million things that when you add them up all together, you just knew you were meant to be together. and i knew it! i knew it the very first time i touched her! it was like coming home, only to know home like you've never known before. i was just taking her hand, to help her out of the car, and i knew it. it was just like.... magic.
although it was only in a movie, those lines depicted how much Sam loved her wife. how a man should sometimes cease to find reason for feelings of love and just believe in magic.
that is the reason why i can't sleep... the feeling of magic... i felt it, i am continually feeling it. i never planned to feel this way especially after what i went through last year... but i am feeling it now. it must really be magic.
and like Sam, there was one instance when i knew. and it was really simple. i just took her hand to comfort her during a difficult time and it wasn't even us holding hands. it was more of my hand over hers. but i knew it then, i felt something. i was concerned for her, i didn't even think about anybody or anyone else. my whole being was focused on her, on what she is going through, on what i can do to help. that time, i knew she meant more to me that what i previously thought.
it was my hand over hers... and i knew it! it was just like... magic!
