“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”
Do you remember how it felt like? Do you still remember how this story started? Do you still remember the promises we've made?
"Can you hear that?"
"What?"
"My heart.. It's calling your name. I love you Kate!"
"Ang hina. Ano un?"
"I love you Kate!"
"Ha? May sinasabi ka?"
"MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA KATE! Pangako, hinding hindi kita sasaktan at iiwan."
"Promise?"
"Promise. I promise Kate that I will always be yours"
"I love you Matt."
Those beautiful words that melted my heart. I thought I was dreaming, i felt so high, so invincible, so whole. I was bewitched by those words.
Kate? Oh, she's perfect! She got beauty and brains. Mabait, maalahanin, sweet, malambing at higit sa lahat understanding. Mahilig siya mageffort para saken. Every small or big occasion she never failed to suprised me.
Ako? Sa totoo lang, hindi ako bagay sa kaniya. Masyado siyang mabait for me, samantalang ako basagulero, walang kinabukasan. Kaya nga hindi ko din maisip bakit nagustuhan niya ko.
Our relationship? We were happy. Pero madalas kami magkaroon ng misunderstandings, madalas ako nagsisimula. Pero she's still there for me. Hindi niya ko iniwan.
They say, you don't know what you've got till it's gone. But the truth is, you knew exactly what you had, you just thought you'd never lose it.
I took her for granted. I thought she will never leave me.
Ang tanga ko, I always blame her but still there. She still loved me. And I wasn't grateful for that. I don't appreciate all the things she'd done.
We were together for so long I haven't notice that we were falling down.
Until she breaks...
"Matt let's talk."
"Wala tayong dapat pagusapan."
"Matt ano ba?"
"Umalis ka na."
"Bakit magkasama na naman kayo ni Rhea?"
"Kaibigan ko siya. Walang masama kung magksama kami."
"Matt, how many times do I have to tell you na layuan mo siya."
"Kaibigan ko si Rhea bakit ko siya lalayuan?! Wala kaming ginagawang masama ni Rhea, Kate. Umaandar na naman yan pagkaselosa mo!"
"Of course I'm jealous. Kung makadikit sayo yung higad na yun parang wala nang bukas kulang nalang sabuyan ko ng suka para lumayo sayo! Ano gustong gusto mo din nilalandi ka niya?"
"Shut up. Kate! You're not making any sense! She's not flirting with me. She's just a friend."
"Matt please, layuan mo na siya. I'm begging you."
"No."
"Ngayon lang ako hihiling sayo. Please, layuan mo siya."
"No. Umalis ka na."
She felt silent. I saw a hurt expression on her face. She turn her back on me. I still see a two liquid running thru her cheeks. She's crying.
Oh, no. It won't affect me. Rhea is my friend. Di ko siya iiwasan. And besides, Kate loves me. She will understand. She will never leave me. She always will.
But I was wrong. I'm always wrong..
"Matt, ayoko na. Suko na ko."
I felt my feet and body freezed. My heart slow down. The time stoped. And the only thing that functioning that time is my ear and my mind slowly processing every bit of word she's saying.
"Sawang sawa na ko sa pagiintindi ko sayo. Sawang sawa na ko sa pagpapasensya ko sayo. Sawang sawa na ko sa relasyon na to! Ayoko na suko na ko." She sigh.
"Matt, You've changed. A lot. Where's the Matt I loved? I thought were partners, but why am I the only one fighting for this relationship? Matt, durog na durog na ko. Ang sakit sakit na! I've give you my everything but it's still not enough! You didn't appreciate everything I've sacrificed for this relationship. For you! I'm still trying to fight but I can't seem to find a little thing to fight for, for this relationship to be saved!"
"Kate."
"I'm sorry Matt. I'm breaking up with you."
That's the last words I heard from her. I never see her again.
After she left, i remember everything. Every smile and laugh we had shared. Every moments we were together, good or bad. Every sunrise and sunsets. Every places we've been. Every fights. Every thoughts we've shared. Every kissed. Every hugged. Every movies we've watched. Every music we've shared. Every food we cooked. Every efforts she made, small or big.
Every promises.
and
Every i love you we had vowed.
I regret everything I've done to her.
EVERYTHING.
I was haunted by her memories. The remembrance of her face, smell, smile and laugh.
I want to go back to the time we were together. I want to feel her again. Kiss her like there's no tomorrow. Hugged her. Cuddled with her. I want to go back to the time when I can still call her mine. If only I could take back all the things I've done.
She left but her memories will always be remembered.
As I always look and cherish her remembrance.
