Chasing The Moon

Chapter 6

RHIANE

Sinimulan ko ang paghaplos sa keyboard at taimtim na dinadama ang bawat tunog. Ibinaling ko ang tingin ko kay Miss Selene, seryoso lamang naka tingin ito sa akin.

Ngayon nalang ulit ang unang beses na kakanta ako, dahil simula nung nawala si Amaris ay nawalan talaga ako ng ganang kumanta o kahit makinig man lang ng kanta.

Sunday mornings were your favorite
I used to meet you down on Woods Creek Road
You did your hair up like you were famous
Even though it's only church where we were goin'

Now, Sunday mornings, I just sleep in
It's like I buried my faith with you
I'm screamin' at a God I don't know if I believe in
'Cause I don't know what else I can do

May mga bagay talaga na mananatili nalang ala-ala. Hindi lahat ng bagay na gusto natin ay mananatiling sa atin habang buhay.

I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever
And now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers

Oh, it hurts so hard
For a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart
And left the rest in pieces

Pero kahit matagal na ito, mananatili itong sariwa sa isip mo, lalo na kung napakahalaga ng mga ito. Kahit anong gawin mong limot ay may mga bagay na magpapa alala nito sayo.

Diggin' through your old birthday letters
A crumpled 20 still in the box
I don't think that I could ever find a way to spend it
Even if it's the last 20 that I've got, oh

Habang kumakanta ako ay nasulyapan ko si Miss Selene na parang nag bago ang emosyon sa mga mata niya. I suddenly thought, why does everything seem so light when I'm with her? Kahit na madalas n'ya akong sungitan ay parang mas lalo pa akong natutuwa sa kan'ya.

She suddenly reminds me of someone.

I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever
And now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers

Oh, it hurts so hard
For a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart
And left the rest in pieces

The way she looks at me makes my heart ache. Bakit ko to nararamdaman? It feels like she knows why I'm singing this song.

I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone (ooh)
I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever (ooh)
Now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers

Oh, it hurts so hard
For a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart
Left the rest in pieces
I closed my eyes until I finished the last line of the song.

Napa pikit nalang ako hanggang sa matapos akong kumanta. Biglang kumirot yung puso ko sa hindi ko mapaliwanag na dahilan. I'm singing it for Amaris pero nasasaktan ako habang naka tingin kay Miss Selene.

Weird.

"I told you to sing for me but you're singing it for someone else" abala ako sa pag iisip kung bakit ganito ang nararamdaman ko nang bigla kong marinig ang malamig niyang boses.

"Sabi mo kahit ano ah" dipensa ko. May point naman s'ya pero yun lang kasi naisip kong kanta.

"You're changing the topic Miranda" she glared at me. Parang nawala yung mga titig n'yang maamo kanina.
