Nang sumapit ang alas nuebe ay sinumulan na ng mga banda ang pagtugtog sa entabladong nasa gitna ng park. Ang musika nito ay nagsilbing senyales upang magsimulang magsilapitan na rin ang ilang mga taong nasa iba't-ibang bahagi ng parke upang masaksihan ang tugtuging iyon.

Suspended in the air
I hear myself breathing

Hindi rin nagtagal ay hinila rin siya ni Lara papalapit rito. Sinubukan nitong makipagsiksikan pero naiipit lang siya sa dami ng tao. Hinapit siya ni Ricci palapit sa kan'ya at siya ang sumangga ng bawat siko at bunggo ng mga tao.

Hanging by a thread
My heart is barely beating

The sound of the instruents seeps through. Ang tugtugin ay rock, pero sa lagay ng kan'yang puso ngayon ay parang mahirap makipagsabayan sa mga taong nagsisimula nang i-enjoy ang malakas na awitin ng banda.

I haven't fallen yet
But I feel it comin'

Ang fireworks ay patuloy sa pagliwanag sa kalangitan na nagrereplek sa masayang mga mata ng dalaga.

Tell me would it be too much to ask
If you break it to me gently

As he watch her laugh. Happily jumps in the air with her hands on the air. Her hair would ruffles and her nose would crinkles.

The lights are blinding, the noise are everywhere. Her scent tamed his body. And now, his hand touch her hand. That made her stop. She looked into his eyes...

And you hold on to the day
Tomorrow will just be a memory

And smile.

That I would look back at all of this

His face feels numb. He can't even give her the same energy she has and he can't smile the way her eyes do.

And wonder why I stayed in here
Just to watch you disappear

Until they've heard the fireworks up in the sky once again. All the faces moved around them, to see the lights scattered on the night sky. And her face follows. Her attention diverted on it. And her hand loosen it's grip on him.

So I breathe and let you go

She then slowly took a step near the crowd without noticing that her hand slowly slid off his grip while looking so mesmerized at the beauty of the heavens. While he was there. Looking at her, behind.

How do I breathe and let you go?

He heaved a heavy sigh before lifting his feet on the ground and took a step back.

Before it's too late
I'll take a step away

The lights of the fireworks reflects his way. Ang kulay nito ay siya ring nagiging kulay ng daan. And now. He already know... he has nothing to do right now but to go.
