Ex-"Love"

Day - 17

Difficulty Level- CPR 30:2

Open mic night.
I haven't seen or heard from that guy since the last time we spoke at the park.
Contrary to what he said that he's not done fighting, it seems that he definitely is done.

Benjamin hasn't attempted to come and stay in the house the last two days. No late evening sneaking in... no breakfast with Lana, though he always makes it a point to call her and send her surprises.

I saw him once though, the day after our talk, Bea walking behind him.
He pressed the lift, without looking at her. And the moment it opened, he whispered something to her which made Bea cry.
Lovers' quarrel probably, but he definitely knows how to take himself out from that mess, because the next day, I saw him whistling something, and he smiled at me when he caught me staring again.

But I'm done thinking and overthinking things, especially about things concerning him.
Im still mad, but my anger at least, has subsided.

It's just me and Jelai sa designated table ng barkada.
I think this year is not our year.
How many times have we gone out, late dinner, open mic nights to forget about our heart problems?
I'm just glad that they managed to survive it.
I just hope that next time I have the chance, there won't be any surviving to do.
I believe I already got my fair share of heartache. Probably more than fair pa nga, almost reaching that unfair mark.

I still believe in love, though.
Ang loser ko naman kung mag-gi-give up ako sa kanya.

"Sis, it's your turn na. Bawal umiyak ha", Jelai said, teasing me.

I took that tequila shot then grinned while walking to the stage.
I really love this bar!

The crowd probably recognised us already.
Those shouts might not be cheers anymore, but pity- the heartbroken is back.
Shocks! Hindi ko naman ginawang weekly gig ang pagiging wasted for and because of love.

"Mic test. Still heartbroken, but I guess love still wins."

"May tama ba si Ronaliza?", I heard Jun jun said.

🎵🎶I still have the letter you wrote
When you told me that I was the only girl
You'd ever want in your life
I guess my friends were right

Each day goes by and each night, I cry
Somebody saw you with her last night
You gave me your word, "Don't worry 'bout her"
You might love her now, but you loved me first
Said you'd never hurt me, but here we are
Oh, you swore on every star
How could you be so reckless with my heart?🎶🎵

I smiled as I felt those tears run down my cheeks.
Akala ko ba ok na tayo?

Then as I lifted my face, I saw that guy enter the bar, he has a smile on his lips, and his eyes were on me.

Then I saw how his face changed when he heard the song I was singing.
I looked at him, keeping my eyes on him, so there won't be any mistake whom this song is for.

🎵🎶Each day goes by and each night, I cry
Somebody saw you with her last night
You gave me your word, "Don't worry 'bout her"
You might love her now, but you loved me first
Said you'd never hurt me, but here we are (here we are)
Oh, you swore on every star
How could you be so reckless with my heart? (Heart)

How could you be so reckless?
How could you be so reckless?
How could you be so reckless with someone's heart?

Hey, this is a story I hate
But I told it to cope with the pain
I'm so sorry if you can relate🎵🎶
