Martine

Chapter 28

Nagsimula na ulit kaming tumugtog.

When your legs don't work like they used to before

And I can't sweep you off of your feet

Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love

Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks

Nabaling ang tingin ko sa bagong kasal. Napangiti ako habang pinapanood ko silang sumasayaw sa gitna ng stage. Nag-umpisa na rin na mapaluha ang mommy ni Brad. For a while, inalis ko muna sa isip ko si Martine bilang respeto kay Brad.

And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70

And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23

And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe just the touch of a hand

Oh me I fall in love with you every single day

And I just wanna tell you I am

Ilang beses ring nagpalitan ng kisses ang bagong kasal. Pati ang ermats ni Cherrie naluluha na rin. Napatingin ako kay Martine na nakatitig lang din sa sumasayaw sa gitna. Napadaan din ang tingin ko kay Dylan at sa totoo lang, proud ako sa kanya dahil hindi pa sya sumasablay. So far.

So honey now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

Maybe we found love right where we are

Sa malayo, napatingin ako kay Marie na nakatitig lang din kay Brad at Cherrie. May ngiti sa kanyang labi. Tahimik din ang lahat ng nasa venue, may nagpapahid ng luha, may mga nakangiti, may nag vivideo, may mga tulala lang.

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades

And the crowds don't remember my name

When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm

I know you will still love me the same

'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen

Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory

I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe it's all part of a plan

I'll just keep on making the same mistakes

Hoping that you'll understand

Nabaling ulit ang tingin ko kay Martine. She has tears in her eyes. Para tuloy gusto ko syang lapitan at akapin. Bigla kong narealize na kahit pa natiis nya ako, kahit pa nasaktan nya ako, iba pa rin ang effect nya sa akin.

But baby now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are, oh
