"How can you forget someone who left you?"
"Sometimes, love can heal everything. Sometimes."
How can I heal when everything is always bruising me? How can I love her again with a broken heart?"

Nagising ako dahil sa mainit na haplos sa pisngi ko. Nakaidlip pala ako habang nagdadrive si Madison.
Maaga kaming umalis kanina. Hindi ko naman alam san kami pupunta.
"Good morning." She greeted me softly with a small smile at the corner of her lips.
Napangiti naman ako. If only I could wake up to this everyday.
"Good morning. Where are we?"
"Look." She said, pointing at something.
Napatingin naman ako duon at napangiti. We're in the middle of the road, just in time for sunrise.

"You're as beautiful as that sunrise."
Napatingin ako sa katabi ko. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. Seeing her and this view is so overwhelming.
"They say opportunities are like sunrises, if you wait too long, you'll miss them." Hinawakan nya ang kamay ko at hinalikan ito.
"Sabi din nila, it means a new beginning." Dugtong nya.
"Baya—"
"But for me, sunrise means thanking God for giving me another day. Another day to see you, another day to be with you, another day to spend it with you." Nakangiting sabi nya.
Naiiyak naman ako sa sinabi nya. Her eyes are full of sincerity while saying that.
"Beatrix, just like the sunrise, I want to make new beginnings with you. I don't want to miss out any opportunity to be happy— to finally be happy with you. I want to chase sunrises with you." Hinalikan nya ulit ang kamay ko.
"Can you catch this beautiful sunrise with me, with me alone?" Tanong nya. Nangingilid na yung luha ko sa aking mga mata. Ang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko. "Can you be my sunrise, Beatrix?"
Hindi ako makapagsalita. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. Masyadong nag-uumapaw yung kasiyahan na nararamdaman ko ngayon.
"Can you be my girlfriend?"
A tear drop to my face. Para akong hindi makahinga. Oh Lord, what did I ever do to deserve someone like her?
"Beatrix." Tawag nya sa'kin.
Unti-unting sumilay ang ngiti ko sa labi habang isa-isa namang nahuhulog ang mga luha galing sa aking mata.
May mahihiling pa ba ako? Wala na. Kasi natupad na.
I couldn't help but tremble when she asked me. To the idea of happiness? To loving her no matter what?
"Yes Madison, yes!" I replied and sealed it with a kiss.
Hindi ko alam kung saan ko hinugot yung lakas ng loob ko na halikan sya, but it feels like it's the most right thing to do.
Parehas kaming napapikit habang pataas na ng pataas ang araw. Lumayo ako at pinagdikit ang aming mga noo habang nakapikit pa din.
