I'll be the one
That stays 'till the end
And I'll be the one
That needs you again
And I'll be the one that proposes
In a garden of roses
And truly loves you long after our curtain closes
But will you still love me
When nobody wants me around?
The first time I laid my eyes on her, I felt a butterflies in my stomach.
It happened when I'm entering the BEG because coach Oliver is rooting for me to be his player.
When I turn 81 and forget things
Will you still be proud?
Flashback
"Oh Valdez!" Coach Oliver called my attention and all the people in the gym looks at me and that makes me come back to my senses.
Naglakad ako palapit kay coach Oliver even though nakakahiya kask I know that people are staring at me.
"Coach" I happily greeted him.
"Are you gonna play for ateneo?" he asked me and unconsciously, I looked at dennise direction and caught her staring at me kaya napabalik ang tingin ko kay coach Oliver.
"Uhm, if your offer is still available coach" sabi ko habang nahihiya.
"Of course it does Valdez!" he happily said and called the attention of everyone in the gym.
"Guys! Wait up! I will introduce to you our new player!" he said kaya naman napatigil sa drills ang ALE.
"Ehem, so he is the player that I've always wanted to play for ateneo because I know he will contribute a lot for the team, and luckily he said yes" coach Oliver explained.
"Valdez introduce yourself to our volleyball team" he excitedly said kaya napatawa ako saglit pati na din ang ibang players.
"Uhm hi, I'm Alexander Yael Caymo Valdez but you can call me Coach Oliver really did a great job in pursuing me kaya I decided to pay him by playing for this team and it's a honor to play for the ateneo. Im looking forward to seeing everyone helping me to cope up with this team. Yeah that's all" I said and smile.
They clapped their hands kaya napahawak ako sa batok ko dahil nahiya ako bigla.
"Pots!" Ella said and run to me like a child. I chuckled because she jump and hug me kaya hinawakan ko siya sa bewang.
"Hoy Ella makayakap naman to kay Baldo parang walang jowa ah" asar naman ni Greg kaya tumawa yung mga players.
Of course I knew them because they're my friends. And I knew some of the players kasi nagkita na din kami.
"Hey pots baba ka na ang bigat mo ha" asar ko sa kanya lalong lumakas ang tawa nila.
"Hmmp! Nang aasar nanaman kayo at talagang nagsama pa kayo ha mga kumag" sabi niya at binatukan kami dalawa ni Greg.
Humagalpak naman sa tawa ang mga kasama namin dito sa gym habang napailing nalang ang mga coaches.
They introduce themselves but one person really caught my eye.
"Dennise Lazaro"she said smiling and offering her hand for the hand shake.
Kaya naman I took her hand smiling.
Cause I am the one
Who has waited this long
And I am the one
That might get it wrong
And I'll be the one that will love you
The way I'm supposed to, girl
