Rainy Tuesday

manila bay sunset
It's a rainy Tuesday so I'm posting a photo taken during a trip to Roxas Boulevard with my friend M and her True Love (TL). Months ago, TL was visiting from a far away Pacific Island. For M, TL cannot leave without seeing the sunset sans rival at Manila Bay. It was one windy afternoon and surprisingly, the stench from the bay did not bother me much.

As I took this photo, I remembered a similar afternoon, when I walked along the bay with Perfect Gentleman (PG). PG and I had been in this 'platonic relationship' for a while (a long while indeed) and having him next to me in such a romantic setting was almost unbelievable. As the sun was setting, we sat and watched in silence, taking in the sacred beauty unfolding before us, one hand of mine in his. When darkness ensued, I knew then that I will be his 'someone who got away'.

Strange memories a rainy day elicit! I wonder what my readers think of when it rains.

When it rains, I am reminded of that one rainy November afternoon at the Honolulu International Airport, when my heart was filled with grief and my eyes filled with tears...
