After nang tuksuhan sa foodcourt, I tried to stay away from him like literal na liliko kapag makakasalubong siya sa hallway. Sabi nga expecting doesn't hurt assuming does. He seems not bothered naman. Siguro, I will completely heal after summer class kasi imposible na mag corss yung path namin next semester, he is an IT student and we are on a complete separate building since Business student ako.
And it's funny because I still remember when he was sitting beside me, I used to write his sit number for he always forgot to put it on his paper every time pinapasa niya ito kay Prof.
I miss it. I miss him.
I miss those pretty brown eyes I used to stare at when he was talking to me. I miss his smell. I miss him. Ang bilis ng araw.
Last day of summer class.
Pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko sa classroom kasi nag foodcourt muna ako and meet up with Ro and Kath there. Ang gulo ng classroom and our eyes met. And as o.a as I may sound, but kinilig ako kasi we have the same color of shirt.
He smiled and went back to talking to his friends. And our day goes on without having any interaction.
And that day became the last day that I ever saw him.
Summer fades away,
I know you're not here to stay,
Yet forever grateful,
You made my summer unforgettable.
After that summer class, I booked a flight home para maaliw ko and sarili and sa sobrang busy ko first semester went too fast. And now, I am super busy with my enrollment for the second semester. Yes, second semester na!
Enrollment na naman. I was doing it alone kasi Ro had to go home sa province nila for a personal matter and Kath and I are not on the same Business major. I am all alone.
Bigla ako nagutom kaya nagpunta muna ako sa foodcourt for breakfast. I search for an empty table, but I saw a familiar face.
No, it can't be. But it is possible. Is it him?
It's been a long time, but my heart feels as though it happened yesterday.
Umupo muna ako para naman mas matingnan ko ng maayos.
Pero paglingon ko wala na akong ibang nakita kundi ang isang empty table at pinagkainang plato.
My heart says it's him.
But just like that, he was gone. And I have never seen him again.
Maybe, we're not meant to meet now, tomorrow, or the next day but all I can say is "if it is meant to be it is meant to be."
THE END

The Reason Behind Her Poem
Short StoryIgnoring it proves futile, for it persists, A longing that deepens with each tender twist, Like petals unfurling in the morning sun, My heart's desire cannot be undone. I tried to ignore the feeling, yet it grows, Like a gentle wind upon my face...
