Love Is Greater Than Any Spell

LV: Too Hard To Say Goodbye

~Sarasienne~
Farewell party ngayong gabi. Wala akong kaalam-alam na ballgown pala ang susuotin at provided na pala ng school. Hindi ako umabot sa cut ng boutique pero hindi problema 'yon. Gumamit ako ng spell para lumikha ng ballgown na nakatitiyak akong pupukaw sa atensyon ng lahat ng tao.

"For our closing program we will be entertained by the president of the prefect organization who has been the champion of the Eurasian Competition for four years now, Claude Lucas Fontanilla!"

Fontanilla appeared on stage with a microphone. Napansin ko ring nagpalit siya ng kasuotan.

Biglang nag-play ng background music. The tune is very familiar to me.

So here we stand in our secret place
With a sound of the crowd is so far away
And you take my hand, and it feels like home
We both understand, it's where we belong
So how do I say, do I say goodbye
We both have our dreams we both want to fly
So let's take tonight, to carry us through the lonely times

"A lot of people have been asking me why on the last minute I changed my mind and declined being the representative of the entire continent of Europe in the World Championship that will be held in New York. They keep telling me that I could have won a lot of awards and recognition from all over the world if I didn't let go of the opportunity."

I'll always look back as I walk away
Memories will last for eternity
And all of our tears will be lost in the rain
When I found my way back to your arms again
But until that day, you know you are
The Queen of my heart

"But the truth is, the award that I wanted the most is not found in that contest. No other awards could equal the award I got when I refused that opportunity."

Bumaba siya sa stage. Ni hindi ko namalayan na nakatayo na siya sa harapan ko.

"The award that I wanted the most is right here in front of me now. The award of being able to see her again after a long time."

Napakagat ako sa labi ko. Dapat ang maramdaman ko ngayon ay galit lang para sa kanya! Ngunit bakit ako sobrang apektado sa sinabi niya? Iniabot niya sa akin ang kamay niya at walang pagaalangan ko itong kinuha. Ipinagpatuloy niya ang pagkanta habang naglalakad kami patungo sa stage. Hawak-hawak niya pa rin ang kamay ko.

So lets take tonight, and never let go
While dancing we kiss, like there's no tomorrow
As the stars sparkle down, like a diamond ring
I'll treasure this moment till we meet again

"Noon sabi mo hindi nababagay itong kantang ito sa situwasyon natin pero ngayon nababagay na," he whispered in my ear.

-Lucas-

But no matter how far
Or where you may be

Nagulat ako nang itutok sa akin ni Fontanilla ang microphone.

-Sara-

I just close my eyes
And you're in my dreams

Ngumiti si Fontanilla at kinanta niya ang sunod na lyrics.

-Lucas-

And there you will be until we meet
I'll always look back as I walk away

Paulit-ulit ko nang kinanta ang kantang ito, tumatak na ito sa'kin ang kanta na nagpapaalala sa'kin sa taong nanlinlang at nang-iwan sa'kin.

-Sara-

This memory will last for eternity
And all off our tears will be lost in the rain

Pakiramdam ko magmula nung iniwan ako ni Fontanilla ito 'yung lyrics, parang ito ang sasabihin niya sa'kin. Na magbabalik siya, para sa'kin at heto na nga, kinakanta niya ito sa'kin.
