Sometimes, the most unforgettable dates are the ones you don’t plan. No fancy dinner, no big surprises.
Just exactly right how our ordinary afternoon turned into something special.
It was after lunch when we decided to have a joyride on my motorcycle.
The skies were clear and the breeze was just right.
The moment we started to hit the road, she wrapped her arms around me, her laughter soft in my ears.
We don't have any destinations.
We just want the thrill of the ride, the comfort of being close, and the freedom that only two wheels can give.
As we passed through a quiet, rural road lined with wild grass and blooming shrubs, something simple caught my eye.
There were these tiny wildflowers growing near the edge.
I slowed down, pulled over, and told her to wait a second.
She looked curious as I walked toward the side of the road and gently picked a few of the prettiest flowers I could find.
When I came back, I handed them to her with a grin.
“For you,” I said.
She was speechless for a moment, then giggled and took them like they were the most beautiful thing she’d ever received.
“Grabe ka,” she said, cheeks turning red. “Ang simple pero nakakakilig.”
She wrapped her arms around me.
That tiny moment—so simple—made her day. And honestly, it made mine too.
We found a quiet spot overlooking the fields and the horizon, parked the motorcycle, and sat together as the sun began to set.
The sky turned golden, then pink, and a deep orange glow.
At that moment, we talked about life, shared stories, and sometimes just sat in silence, holding each other's hands while watching the world slow down.
She leaned her head on my shoulder, still holding the flowers I picked.
No loud city noise, no distractions—just the wind, the sunset, and us.
That day reminded me that you don’t need much to make someone feel special.
Sometimes, all it takes is a joyride, a wildflower, and the effort to be present in the moment.
That’s the kind of love worth holding on to.
Until next time,
