Quitting a battle.

Forfeiting a game.

And letting go.

He has taught me the real meaning of sacrifices. And it is not about losing, you did not lose anything, but you give up for what's better. You let your opponent win, but you did not lose. Because you fought even if it means pain, you fought for the people around you, you fought with all your heart, and with all your strength. You're trying even if the whole world says you can't, and that's how you won. You won the meaning of sacrifices.

"Always recall, and never forget." I said the line he told me before. He smiled.

"Ikaw ang dapat sinasabihan ko nyan." He told me. I smiled and I shook my head.

"I won't."

Leaves start to fall, flowers start to wither, but memoirs will last forever.

I saw the leaf of the trees, falling. Sobrang saya ng pakiramdam ko, akala ko kailangan ko pang pumunta sa ibang lugar para makakita ng ganito, but it's happening. It's happening right now, with the man I love.

"Chill, kita mo 'yon?" Tinuro ko ang satellite.

Tumango lang sya ng mahina.

"Eh ayon?" Turo ko sa isang mataas na mataas na building.

He smiled and nodded.

"Alam mo yung empire state?" Ngumiti ako habang tumutulo yung mga luha ko.

"Hmm..." Sagot nya.

"Yung Eiffel tower? Diba mataas yun?" Hinawakan ko ang mukha nya.

Sobrang sarap sa pakiramdam. Sana hindi nalang 'to matapos. Tinanguan nya lang ako at walang salitang lumabas sa mga bibig nya.

"I fell higher than them. Nahulog ako sa mas mataas na lugar. Higher than those buildings... Those satellites... The Empire State... And the Eiffel tower."

I covered my face with my hands. Pataas baba ang balikat ko, nahihirapan akong huminga. Mahal na mahal ko sya.

"I fell higher than those, but I never rued that. I never rued that I fell in love with you."

Sinuot ko ang singsing sakanya at ngumiti.

"Autumn,"

"Unang-una sa lahat, you look so beautiful. I a-am deeply and madly in love with the girl who taught me to value every moment that I have. I am in love with the person who calls me Acham everyday, kahit na ganito na a-ako. I am in love with the lady in front of me, with her eyes and heart speaking everything that we had." Ngumiti sya sakin at nilagay ang singsing sa daliri ko.

"I want to stay here forever. I want to see more auroras with you. B-but I am tired now. The people who were once clock buddies can never be forever in twelve o'clock. But my heart and my soul will forever remember everything."

The people who were once clock buddies can never be forever in twelve o'clock.

Naalala ko na kami nga pala ang magka-pares noon sa Zoo. Clock buddy number twelve ko sya ng mga panahong 'yon.
