  It's just five in the morning but I'm already up. Ihahatid ko ngayon si Yuri sa airport. She will be leaving the country, for good, who knows. She'll be staying in Japan, with her two siblings.

I checked my phone and instantly smiled upon reading her text. Hindi ko na ito nabasa kagabi dahil nakatulog na ako sa pagod sa trabaho. Napakadami ko kasing hinabol na trabaho dahil hindi ko ito nagawa dulot na rin ng mga nangyari noong mga nakaraang linggo.

I just wore a simple black v neck shirt and a denim pants. I grabbed my keys and left the house. Tinungo ko ang kotse ko sa garahe at binuhay ang makina noon. Pinagbuksan naman ako ng gate nila manang.

While driving, I turned on the radio and a familiar song played. The song is just so good to the ears. Iisang tao lamang ang tumatakbo sa utak ko habang pinapakinggan ko ito.

I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows we were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared and then I was all alone

I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow

We're not promised tomorrow. Sa araw-araw sa buhay natin, sa bawat gabi, hindi natin alam ang mangyayari sa susunod na araw. Hindi natin alam kung magigising pa ba tayo, kung nandyan pa ba ang mga taong mahal natin sa pagmulat ng mga mata natin. Narealize ko iyong lahat ng bagay na iyon dahil sa mga nangyari.

So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

I learned that destiny is sometimes cruel. It will take things from you, whether you like it or not. Those people you love, they can be taken away within a blink of an eye. Hindi mo alam kung kailan sila mawawala. Because in reality, there is no forever. There's a lifetime, yes. But forever? No. Hindi mo alam kung kailan mawawala o matatapos ang isang bagay.

So until it's in your hands, you better hold it tightly and cherish it.

In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know

So I'll kiss you longer baby
Any chance that I get
I'll make the most of the minutes and love with no regrets

Let's take our time
To say what we want
Use what we got
Before it's all gone
'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow

A tear escaped my eye. Puta, ang bading lang. Pero totoo. Natakot talaga ako noong mga panahong hindi ko mahagilap si Ariana. Akala ko hindi ko na sya aabutan. Akala ko hindi ko na sya makikita ulit. Akala ko...hindi ko na sya mahaharap sa Diyos. Gusto ko syang pakasalan. Sya lang ang babaeng gusto kong makasama habang-buhay. At hindi magbabago ang bagay na iyon. Ariana is just too much to lose. Okay lang na mawala sa akin ang lahat ng yaman sa mundo, ang kompanya ko, ang lahat ng kasikatang meron ako. All I want in my life is her.



So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you


She showed me all the wonderful things in life. Kung dati ay wala sa bokabularyo ko ang salitang 'pagmamahal', nagbago iyon. She changed everything. Pinakita nya sa akin ang tunay na halaga ko. That I can be happy in my whole life, and not just every night.
