So, before you go
Was there something I could've said to make your heart beat better
If only I had known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
So, before you go...
I closed my eyes as I fought hard not to break into tears while listening to Lewis Capaldi's 'Before You Go' on my earphones for the hundredth time now. Ni sa panaginip hindi ko naisip na darating ang araw kung saan ay kusa akong lilisan sa lugar na aking kinagisnan. Tanaw na tanaw ko ang mga ilaw ng mga gusali mula sa kinauupuan ko habang papaangat nang papaangat ang sinasakyang eroplano. I guess this is goodbye? Negros have always been my comfort zone, ang lugar kung saan pakiramdam ko ligtas ako, at higit sa lahat – Negros is home.
Habang ramdam ko ang sariling papalayo nang papalayo, binuhusan ako ng matinding takot at pag-aalinlangan. Bumalik lahat ng tanong na pumipigil sa akin para magkaroon ng panibagong buhay, sa malayo at kung saan walang nakakakilala sa akin. Kaya ko ba? Handa na ba ako? Paano kung hindi ko kayanin? Bahala na. I saved up all my courage and strength not to look back and instead, I looked ahead.
