Cupid & Psyche

Cupid & Psyche: Chapter Forty-Five

Chapter Forty-Five

Graduation day came and all felt like everything’s going to change after that. As I looked at my batch mates as they all threw their graduation caps in the air, they are so lucky because they’re happy and excited of the new life that’s in stored for them.

College would be great if I would only start it with the person I love. I didn’t have the strength to go out and celebrate after this. My parents and so as Cupid’s decided to have the combined Graduation party and the Despedida party. Great why do they have to do that?

After this night will be only one day left before Cupid’s departure and the more I see him the more the pain inside me gnaws. I wanted to shout and cry but I don’t want to ruin everyone’s mood.

I wore a fabulous ivory and gold short dress by Dave and Johnny at the party. The short dress is in ivory and gold features, a straight neckline on the ruche bodice and thin straps. The empire waistband has a bow accent and the sexy lace up back adds a touch of glamour to this short formal dress.

Persephone had picked it for me since I didn’t have the heart to find something good to wear when I’m all in glooms day.

Our friends attended the party with their parents and they were all having a great time at our house. Cupid was nowhere to be found at the party. I searched for him but no one seems to know where he is. Now look at him! We have few more hours left to be together and yet he’s not around! That jerk!

So I settled myself on the seat next to my sisters. Then my mom came up to me and told me if I wanted to sing I told them not to but then again I changed my mind and I told her that I’ll sing “The Lazy Song” by Bruno Mars and she got furious.

‘I suggest you sing something that comes from your heart.’ Pers whispered to me as I leaned my face on my hand. ‘Sis, it’s not because Cupid’s leaving doesn’t mean you have to get mad at the world. You know music is one of the ways that we can let our mind speak. Because it reminisce back our past. But what’s important about music is they can be the voice of what we feel inside. Especially when we are muted by the words of our hearts.’

I smiled at her “Words of Wisdom”. She doesn’t really talk like this. I wonder what she has eaten.

She rolled her eyes and she nod at the mini stage that my parents had set up.

‘Good evening everyone!’ Cupid greeted us all. Everyone smiled at him again then he searched for me in the crowd. ‘There, finally I saw you!’ he said to me. And at once all eyes were on me. It was so embarrassing!

 I frowned at him.

‘You don’t get it do you? That in a crowded place my eyes would still search for you.’ he said. Argh! I went immediately and all swooned.

‘You know guys, this time I swear I don’t have a manuscript.’ They all laughed. ‘Believe me.

‘Have you heard our love story? Cupid and Psyche. Yeah it’s from a Greek story. Only that my mom wasn’t cruel to Psyche.’ The audience laughed again.

‘Our story was different. It was like from a movie scene. We’re like a love team.’ He looked at me. ‘We’re together on set but back stage we’re two different people with two different lives. But the truth is I never want to let her go because I want that our movie scene would be reality. So I tried on soothing her becoming my “on-set” girlfriend but in reality I was really doing the real thing.

‘There I made her cry, I made her laugh and in the end she told me that she feels the same way.’

The crowd swooned again.

‘Psyche, a lot people tell me that I should forget about you and you don’t deserve me. Maybe they also tell you the same thing. They’re right, you don’t deserve me…’

I don’t know where it came from but I felt myself leaking again! Argh! I’m such a cry-baby!

‘But I deserve you. This’ he pointed to his chest. ’ don’t worry because it started beating because of you… and it will only beat for you.’

‘This song is for the girl that holds the key to my heart.’

Saw you walk into the room
Thought I’d try to talk to you
Babe am I ever glad you wanted me to

I remember the first time that I saw Cupid. That was back when we were in freshmen year. Who would have thought that I was just dreaming of him to love me and now… here he is… loving me.

It’s been two years to the day
Half the time I’ve been away
I know I’m not there enough but that’s gonna change
Cause I’m coming back
To show you that I’m keeping the promise I made

I would give up everything for one moment with him; for one moment is better than a lifetime of not knowing him at all.

When I’m with you I’ll make every second count
Cause I miss you
Whenever you’re not around
When I kiss you
I still get butterflies years from now
I’ll make every second count when I’m with you

 

Moving on is not simple. It’s what leaves us behind that makes it so difficult.

Yeah we’ve had our ups and down
But we’ve always worked them out
Babe am I ever glad we’ve got this far now
Still I’m lying here tonight
Wishing I was by your side
Cause when I’m not there enough
Nothing feels right
So I’m coming back to show you that
I’ll love you the rest of my life

And I’ll be waiting for the day that he’ll come back to me someday.

When I’m with you
I’ll make every second count
Cause I miss you
Whenever you’re not around
When I kiss you I still get butterflies years from now
I’ll make every second count
When I’m with you

We made a promise…

 

Whatever it takes I’m not gonna break the promise I made
When I’m with you
I’ll make every second count
Cause I miss you

 ‘I promise; I, Cupid Confiar, that I will be from now on and to this moment nicer for the girl I love.’ he paused then he smiled at me. ‘And I promise to love her for the rest of my life.’

When I’m with you
I’ll make every second count
Cause I miss you
Whenever you’re not around
When I kiss you
I still get butterflies years from now
I’ll make every second count
When I’m with you

‘I promise; I, Psyche Lumiere, that I will from now on and to this moment keep on smiling for the guy I love.’ I made a faint smile. Wow, it’s even harder to do than to cry.

 ‘And I promise to love him for the rest of my life.’
