The Reason Behind His GOODBYE

train station

Chapter 15

Ralph’s POV

The moment na pina ubaya ko na siya kay Rence, yun na din dapat yung moment na kakalimutan ko na siya.

Tiyaka hindi ko naman siya minahal nun ah.

Linigawan ko lang naman siya dahil sa pustahan.

Pero bakit nun, everytime  na kinukwento siya ni Rence parang may kirot sa puso ko.

Parang gusto ko siyang bawiin.

Bat ganon?

Bat ganon ang love? Kung kelan binitawan mo na saka mo lang maiisip kung gano siya kahalaga sayo?

“Rence, pwede ko na ba siyang bawiin?”

“Rence, mahal ko siya.”

“Rence, sakin nalang siya. “

Nung tinanong niya kung mahal ko pa siya, hindi ko alam ang isasagot.

Pero pag sinabi ko kayang “oo Gayle, mahal pa kita.” Mamahalin niya kaya ako gaya ng pag-mamahal niya kay Rence?

GAYLE’s POV

Last CD na to. Kelangan ko nang panoorin.

RENCE’s POV

“Inuwi na ako sa Philippines. Hindi naman na kasi ako malulunasan. Gusto ko pa siyang Makita. It’s our Anniversary. Gusto ko siyang Makita.”

“May event ata sa school nila ngayon. May nakapagsabing kakanta daw siya. Pupunta ako. Dapat Makita ko siya.”

“ummm. Hello po. This song that I’m gonna sing is my friend’s own composition. Sana po magustuhan niyo. This song is entitled Train Station. ”

I.                    It all seemed worthless

Almost had my limit

You pushed me away from you

Couldn’t get off from confusion

Wish I had my other choice

I had to keep this wall between us.

Bridge:         If only you knew how much you mean to me

                       It’s not just friendship I feel for thee

                       I’m hoping you’d turn around

                       Look back at me

                       I need you here.

Chorus:  Tried to run after you

                Won’t let this through

                For all these years

                Where were you

                I’m giving the world anything

                Just to hear your voice again

                Break this wall I will

                Which tore us apart back then.

II.                  I keep in touch but you don’t seem to mind

No reply, not a letter signed

Can’t you see I can’t leave you behind?

I look at the distant skies

And I wonder in disguise

With the wall between us

Do you still think of me?

(b//, c//)

…

(End)

Gayle’s POV

I’m crying right now not because I want him back.

.

.

.

Not because I’m hurt, but because I’ve moved on.

Minahal ko siya.

Ngayon, handa na akong magmahal ng iba.

RENCE, I’m letting you go.

i'll be taking this next train.

i'll not wait for you anymore.

i'll just be greatful i met you.

promise i'll be good, promise i'll be happy.
