NP: EMPTY SPACE
By: James Arthur

______________

I don't see you
You're not in every window I look through
And I don't miss you
You're not in every single thing I do
I don't think we're meant to be
And you are not the missing piece

Nakatingin lang ako sa kapatid kong si Kenzo habang kumakanta ito doon sa platform. Ewan ko ba, bigla nalang siyang nagpresintang pumunta dito sa bar para maging Vocalist for today. Hinayaan ko nalang, tutal gusto naman siya ng mga customer ko eh.

But I really feel like something's wrong. Hinayaan ko nalang muna siyang kumanta doon, mamaya kami magtutuos.

I won't hear it
Whenever anybody says your name
And I won't feel it
Even when I'm burstin' into flames
I don't regret the day I left
I don't believe that I was blessed
I'm probably lyin' to myself again

I'm alone in my head
lookin' for love in this stranger's bed
But I don't think I'll find it
'Cause only you could fill this empty space

I wanna tell all my friends
But I don't think they would understand
It's somethin' I've decided
'Cause only you could fill this empty space

Space, space
This empty space
Space, space

This 'Cause only you could fill this empty space

I've been drinking
I've been doin' things I shouldn't do
Overthinkin'
I don't know who I am without you
I'm a liar and a cheat
I let my ego swallow me
And that's why I might never see you again

I'm alone in my head
lookin' for love in this stranger's bed
But I don't think I'll find it
'Cause only you could fill this empty space
I wanna tell all my friends
But I don't think they would understand
It's somethin' I've decided
'Cause only you could fill this empty space

Space, space
This empty space
Space, space
This 'Cause only you could fill this empty space

How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me? (space, space)
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me? (space, space)
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me?
How could I make you love me?

"Do you think he's alright?"- nag-aalalang tanong ni Kirby sakin matapos ng kantang yun ni Kenzo.

Umiling ako. "I don't think so."

Sino ba naman nga kasi ang magiging okay sa sitwasyon ngayon? Kyra just got her first Heartbreak, plus Mom and Dad are getting a divorce, and now? Kenzo is suddenly being like this. Kahit ako hindi ko narin alam ang gagawin. Hindi ko na alam kung sinong uunahin ko sa kanila.

"Oh teka? Nasan na si Kenzo?"

I looked around, pero mukang wala na nga dito ang kapatid kong yun. Napailing nalang ako. "Bahala na muna kayo sa kanya, Kirby."- naiiling na sinabi ko sa katabi ko. "I'm running out of advice, kahit si Elise hindi ko narin makausap."

"Kung bakit ba naman kasi pinahihirapan pa nila ang mga sarili nila."- kahit si Kirby ay napailing nalang rin. "Alam naman nating lahat na gusto nila ang isat-isa, so why can't they just follow their hearts? It would be easier for them. Hindi yung ang dami pa nilang dinadrama."

"It would be easier if Gian is not involved."- I reminded him.

"Bakit ba kasi hindi nalang natin sabihin kay Gian? He was there noong mga panahong down na down si kenzo dahil kay Elise. Alam niya kung paano nasaktan si Kenzo so maybe He can understand what's going on. Maybe we just have to tell him. Just maybe."

"Nasisiraan kana ba Kirby?"- Asik ko sa kanya. "Bakit naman natin sila pangungunahan?"

"So ano? Hahayaan nalang natin silang ganyan?"

"That's the way it has to be."- I pointed out. "Let them figure it out by themselves. We just have to wait and see."

"But this is not getting any better."

"It will be."- I told Kirby. "May tiwala ako Kay Kenzo, kaya niyang dalhin ang kung ano mang problema niya. But as for now? Kailangan niya kayong mga kaibigan niya. Hayaan niyo lang siyang sumandal sa inyo, hayaan niyong magdrama. wag niyong pagsabihan. Kailangan niya din yan minsan, ang masaktan."

"Ano pa nga ba."- napabuntong hininga nalang si Kirby. "Hindi naman ganyan yan dati eh, wala yang pakialam sa nararamdaman ng mga babae. Ewan ko nalang talaga kung anong nakita niya kay Elise."

"That's how Love works."- I said. "Very unexpected."- I added.
