The Paper Hearts Project

Chapter 24

Nagdecide ako na pumunta ulit sa bench. Feel ko lang magemote bigla. Nung nasa may bandang playground na ako malapit sa bench, may naririnig akong maggitara. Sa may bench ata.

Sayang, naunahan ako. Kaya ako, umupo na lang ako sa may swing.

Do you hear me?

I’m talking to you

Across the water

Across the deep blue ocean

Under the open sky

Oh my, baby I’m trying

Huh? Familiar yung boses na yun ah.

Girl I hear ya in my dreams

I feel your whisper across the sea

I keep you with me in my heart

You make it easier when life gets hard

Medyo natawa ako kasi kinanta rin niya yung girl part.

Lucky I’m in love with my bestfriend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

Hmmm

Kilala ko nga yung boses na yun. Napatayo ako.

They don’t know how long it takes

Waiting for a love like this

Every time we say good bye

I wish we had one more kiss

Lumapit ako lalo

I’ll wait for you

I promise you

Siya nga. Si Gab

I’ll wait…

Nakatingin na lang ako sa kanya.

Lucky I’m in love with my bestfriend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

Ewan ko kung bakit pero napasabay na lang ako sa kanta niya.

Lucky we’re in love in every way

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home some day..

Nagulat siya pero tinuloy lang niya.

And so I’m sailing through the sea

To an island where we’ll meet

You hear the music fill the air

I put a flower in your hair

Ako kumanta rin.

Though the breezes through the trees

Moves the pretty raw sea

As the world keeps spinning around

You hold me right here right now

Tapos nagsabay ulit kami ng kanta

Lucky I’m inlove with my bestfriend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we’re in love in every way

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home some day..

Ohhh…

Ohhh…

Ohhh…

Pagkatapos nun nakatingin lang ako sa kanya. Napansin ko na may luha sa mata niya.

Lumubog na yung araw, pero nakatayo lang ako dun.

Binaba niya yung gitara. Tumayo.

‘Ana.’

‘Ba’t ka umiiyak?’

‘Ana..’

‘…’

Ewan ko pero biglang bumilis yung tibok ng puso ko..

‘Ana..’

Tapos tumakbo na lang ako palayo. Tumakbo at di ko na siya nilingon.
