Twenty Sixth Chapter //
Just Maybe

I breathed deeply with my eyes closed.

At pagdilat ko, eksaktong nagtama ang mga mata namin ng taong aalayan ko ng aawitin ko.

And then I started singing.

♪ "You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Coz she doesn't get your humor like I do..." ♪

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ito ang unang kantang pumasok sa isip ko. Ewan ko ba, pero pakiramdam ko, ito ang pinaka-tamang kanta para sa nararamdaman ko ngayon. Wala akong pakialam kahit may katagalan na itong kantang ito ni Taylor Swift, tumatagos talaga bawat linya e.

♪ "I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
'Coz she'll never know your story like I do..." ♪

Alam ko na. Tamang-tama naman pala talaga itong kantang ito eh. Ako. Ako na palaging nandito at nakaka-intindi sa kanya. Ako lang. Ako lang 'yung taong nakaka-alam ng buong pagkatao niya, ugali, mga gusto at ayaw, lahat 'yun, ako ang pinaka-nakakaalam. Ako. Hindi siya.

♪ "But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find that's what you're
Looking for has been here the whole time..." ♪

She's Hannah. She's beautiful. Mas pansinin kesa sa 'kin. Aaminin ko, maganda ako. Pero, hindi ako pala-ayos katulad niya. Kung siya ay sugar, spice and everything nice, ako naman 'yung chemical x. Ilang beses ko na rin hiniling na sana mauntog si Oliver at ma-realize niya na, hello, after all this time, ako 'yung nasa tabi mo!

Kaso, hindi niya nakikita 'yun.

♪ "If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me..." ♪

Alam ko namang singkit ka, pero bakit hindi mo makita 'yung fact na ako 'yung palaging nandito para sa 'yo? Bakit hindi mo maramdaman na ako, ako hindi kita iiwan? Simula nung naging kayo, I became your closest friend, even closer kaysa sa sarili mong girlfriend. Hanggang sa naghiwalay kayo, hindi kita iniwan. Dinamayan kita, pinagaan ko 'yung bigat na nararamdaman mo. I'm always by your side, pero, tangina, hindi mo 'yun makita.

♪ "Walking the streets with you and your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking, is this how it ought to be?
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?" ♪

Hindi ko rin maiwasang itanong, wala na ba talagang pag-asa? Hanggang dito na lang ba talaga? Hanggang ganito na lang ba talaga? Kasi pakiramdam ko, kahit anong gawin ko, hinding-hindi ako mamahalin ng taong minamahal ko nang todo-todo.

Ang sakit lang.

♪ "And you got a smile that can light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what you're doing with a girl like that?" ♪
