"Totoo ang pag-ibig, tagapagligtas." sabi niya habang hawak ang isang bouquet ng rosas. I looked at her as if she was saying something very archaic. I tried to comprehend but I could not.
When she placed the roses on the grass, I saw her tuck some strands of hair at the back of her ear. She was never meant to be this pretty, but she is. As soon as I had the thought, I had to stop myself. Nanatiling tikom ang bibig ko habang nakarinig ako ng ngisi mula sa kanya.
"Alex.." I spoke as I stared at the sunset sky. There's something about the orange hues that would make you want to be vulnerable.
Right now, I think I am.
"Oh?" tugon nito habang patuloy na pinagmamasdan ang luntiang sahig. I wonder what's in her head. Tinignan ko siya ng maigting.
"I think I'm crazy," I said, habang nararamdaman kong unti unti nang nagiging disyerto ang lalamunan ko.
"At ngayon niya lang nalaman" I heard her speak under her breath. As she laughs, I take my chance to make her look at me. I held her chin to face my direction. Xavier, I told myself, wala nang perpektong oras kung hindi ngayon.
"Alex.. may sasabihin ako."
