Love Letter to Philippines

Charles Pampliega

Dear Philippines,

When I was a child you embraced me, made me your own and I became yours. I call myself Filipino as a tribute to you. My family, my friends, they miss you too. The three weeks I got to spend with you were heaven. I stressed about nothing and I thought about nothing.

Time came too fast, and we were separated too quickly. You were bliss, you were heaven, you were my escape from the real world. It may take years for us to reunite again, but I think about you every day and every night wanting to come back to you. I hope our reunion isn’t too far away. Till we meet again……

Love,

Charles
