Again

Chapter 22

"You did great Adi! You really sounds like a professional singer!"

"Thanks Dylan." I replied before he left the studio room.

I already have a two run of the song that I'll be singing with Linc. Hindi pa nga lang naprapractice kasama si Linc dahil stage rehearsal niya ngayon habang ako ay nasa room lang kasama ang director.

He complimented me before leaving me with Dylan and Farrah. Ang sabi niya ay makikita na lang ang adjustments kapag nagsabay na kami ni Linc.

"May problema Adi?" Nilingon ko si Farrah na hawak ang isang bote ng tubig. Binigyan ko ito ng isang ngiti.

"It's him, right?" Nang hindi ako sumagot ay tumabi ito sa akin. She smiled apologetically.

"Tama si Dylan. You did great. Hindi nga halata na affected ka." Dagdag nito. It sounded like a controversial compliment. But she's right.

"Because I'm remembering our memories." Ngiti kong sagot.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Pero mas lamang ang saya kaysa sa sakit kanina nang kantahin ko ang kantang iyon.

"Adi, Farrah, stage na raw tayo!" Dylan shouted from the main door of the studio room. Agad kaming naglakad palabas patungong stage kung saan ayos na ang lahat.

Linc went near me and he did the least thing that I expected him to do. "Don't mind the others. Just look at me."

I don't know why. But I did what he told me. I keep my eyes on him and he did the same thing.

I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows
We were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared
And then I was all alone

I don't know if he see through my eyes. But I'm being transparent with this song.

I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow

The song says it was just a dream. But mine wasn't.  I woke up without him by my side. And what we promised for tomorrow just became a dust.

So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you

If only I know what's coming. I should have shown him how much I was grateful to have him in my life.

Even I stopped singing, I didn't look away, and all I can see is Linc's assuring smile.

In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know

So I'll kiss you longer, baby
Any chance that I get
I'll make the most of the minutes
And love with no regrets

Let's take our time
To say what we want
Use what we got
Before it's all gone
'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow
