CAM SOLA

I was still in the process. My mind is not literally functioning well, I'm really dumbfounded.

He's the mysterious guy who sang 'The A Team by Ed Sheeran' at the closing of the foundation week. He's the angel's voice sent from above.

I look intently to him and remove my gaze to him. The way he looks at me, I feel something different.

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game

Some people think that the physical things define what's within
And I have been there before and life's a bore
So full of superficial

The way he sings to me, it felt like magic--- full of happiness.

I tried to avoid my gaze at him but he's too irresistable. Para bang hahanap-hanapin mo na ang boses niya, na gusto mo makita kung paano niya kantahin ang isang kanta na puno ng emosyon.

He took at a deep sighed and smiled at me. And I also smiled back. I did know why I did that but I can't control myself.

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If ain't you baby
If ain't got you baby

He took a step towards me. I really want to run because this is so embarassing but I can't. It feels like I'm stuck here in my spot.

Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

Naglalakad pa rin siya dahan-dahan sa akin. Di na siya kumakanta pero may music pa rin na kinakanta niya.

He is really smiling like a devil who seen a victim. Parang kulang na lang kakainin niya ako.

Some people search for a mountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them, oh
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be, oh
With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me?

I'm seeing everyone screaming like there is no tomorrow yet it's like I can't hear them because all I hear is his voice.

Malayo-layo pa siya sa akin pero feeling ko ang lapit-lapit na niya. Bakit ganito nararamdaman ko? Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko.

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If ain't you baby
If ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you-you-you

He is now standing in front of me, smiling as usual. He suddenly stopped singing. He held my hand and kissed the back of it.

Bigla akong nakuryente. Di ko alam pero parang lahat ng organs ko nagwala. Biglang nag-init ang mukha ko.

"And everything means nothing, if I ain't got you." He sang the last part of the song which is really struck me.

Natapos ang kanta pero nagkaroon ng baging background music, a slow song.

I heard everybody screaming again and waiting for another scene.

Di ko talaga maintindihan kung bakit siya nandito pero sabi lang sa akin ni Halle, gumimik ang dalawa. Hinanap ko si Halle at nakita kong kasama niya si kuya na todo ngiti sa akin.

So planado pala nila ang lahat.

Sa daming tao dito, di ko alam kung tatanggi ako o hindi. Mahirap tanggihan ang isang bagay na ganito... na higit pa sa sobra ang epekto sa sistema mo.
