Camera Memory Playing.
[Hmm— All the nights we left spending, does it sound better with Drowned me tears all from crying,] he asks me, humming the song and the lyrics.
Nakapatong ang camera sa desk ng kuwarto namin at hindi niya alam ay nakarecord ito.
Habang nakasandal naman si Clay sa dibdib ko. We just finished making love, and the first thing that Clay does is release his urge to continue writing the song.
[Mm–mm, I think it sounds nice,] I nod with my eyes closed.
[Then the chorus goes like this, Ohh... ohhh... Go cry me a river, I'll make a tsunami; Go ruin my mountains, I'll build a new planet; Go dance with another man while holding me; Go kill me softly, kiss me until my death...] he just came up with that as he writes it in his journal and singing it effortlessly.
[Another sad song?] tanong ko sa kaniya nang mapagtanto ang mensahe ng kaniyang kanta.
[Everyone loves a sad song,] he points out how most of his song are ranking because they are tragic.
Kung iisiping malalim, paano kaya nakakayang gumawa ni Clay ng sad song habang kasama ako ngayon at kung mayroon namang labis na nagmamahal sa kaniya.
[Loving you makes me always want to write a love song,] he said, then began pouring me kisses.
This suddenly reminded me of our past.
Ngayon na nakikita kong siyang patuloy na nagsusulat ulit pagkatapos niyang magtrabaho, gumawa ng mga pleadings, o magpanalo ng mga kaso, nakukuha niya pa rin na maglaan sa mga iba pang bagay na gusto niya.
Before, kapag naririnig ko ang mga kantang sinulat niya at hindi na ito tungkol sa akin, I always feel jealous and envious to his healthy relationship he had. Hanggang sa natutunan ko itong tanggapin. I realized that it was better that way before. The least thing I could do is to accept how comforting it is for him to slowly heal from the battles we couldn't fight before.
Kahit noong maging ganap na akong doctor, kahit na may iba na akong karelasyon, at kahit na patuloy ko siyang sinusubukang kalimutan, ang hirap niyang gawin.
That's why when I finally became a doctor and passed that exam, my first thought that came to me was not to celebrate with my family and friends, but to make him know that I finally made it too just like we both dreamt of.
May party noong gabing 'yon na inasikaso din naming mga magkakaibigan. I was drunk, trying to get hold of myself, because finally, I feel like my life is starting again for something new.
Clay received my message and called me. Lumabas ako noon at umuulan, pero sapat pa rin ito para marinig ko siya kaysa sa ingay ng mga kaibigan ko sa loob.
"Hi Clay,"
[Hi Seb,]
