Stay for a While

STAY 6

STAY 6

Hapon na’t wala parin akong nagagawa na kahit ano na pwede kong matawag na ‘productive’. Nakahiga lamang ako sa aking kama at nakikipag titigan sa kisame. 

Pumasok na sa utak ko ang ideyang pinturahan ito ngunit naalala ko na meron akong asthma. And rhinitis is also a bummer.

I checked my phone at walang kahit na anong messages. I bet Dems’ sleeping. Nagpapadagdag siguro ng height. O di kaya’y nag-aanime. I am not a fan of anime or even a fan of sleeping in the afternoon. Kung kaya ngayon ay wala akong magawa. Jenon’s also busy. Halos mag-uumaga na siya kung mag-online kung kaya’t ayokong istorbohin.

Napabuntong-hininga na lamang ako’t tinitigan ulit ang kisame.

This quarantine, I want to do something productive. I want to discover new things that I know I will love. Love things that my health cannot hinder.

Napatingin naman ako sa gilid ng kwarto ko’t nakita ang gitara ko. Kung kaya napagdesisyonan kong bumangon at kunin ito. Might as well just play any song to pass the time.

Fly me to the moon

And let me sing among the stars,

Let me see what spring is like

On Jupiter and mars;

In other words, hold my hand;

In other words, darling, kiss me.

I smiled while singing the song while playing it with my guitar. I never thought that I could be this in love. Noon, I just want to focus on my studies but falling in love and hiding my relationship to my parents was not my priorities before but everything had changed.

Tumigil ako saglit at nag-isip muli ng panibagong kanta. 

Then a certain song popped into my mind at habang may nakakalokong ngiti sa aking mga labi, sinimulan kong kumanta habang tumutugtog gamit ang aking gitara.

I know your eyes in the morning sun

I feel you touch me in the pouring rain

And the moment that you wander far from me

I wanna feel you in my arms again

Then you come to me on a summer breeze

Keep me warm in your love, then softly leave

And it’s me you need to show

How deep is your love

How deep is your love, how deep is your love

I really mean to learn

‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools, breaking us down

When they all should let us be, we belong to you and me

Mag se-second verse pa lamang ako ay hindi ko na napigilang tumawa. I remembered Jenon singing that in a videoke. Fiesta noon saamin at inimbitahan ni mama sina Dems. Uuwi na dapat sila but me and my sisters stopped them dahil gusto naming kumanta silang tatlo. Then we chose that song “How deep is your love” while Aviyannie and Dems were singing, we were amazed; it was almost perfect pero nung nakarating na sa parte ni Jenon ay napuno kami ng tawanan dahil kahit sintunado ay kanta pa rin siya ng kanta habang namumula na mula sa kahihiyan ngunit nakatitig saakin. 

Damn. Memories bring back memories

Mukha atang nagising na ang bruha dahil nakatanggap ako ng message.
