It Should Have Been Us (Completed)

S

Gago.

"Saint."

Napapaos kong tawag sa pangalan niya. I tried freeing myself from his tight embrace.

When you say
You love the way I make you feel
Everything becomes so real
Don't be scared, no, don't be scared
'Cause you're all I need

"Wala pa din ba?"

Malungkot niyang tanong. Biglang nanikip ang didbib ko sa hindi malamang dahilan.

And you still look perfect as days go by
Even the worst ones, you make me smile
I'd stop the world if it gave us time

"Hindi pa rin ba ako tuluyang nakakapasok dito?"

Biglang gumalaw ang kamay niyang nakayakap sa akin sabay turo sa puso ko.

'Cause when you love someone
You open up your heart
When you love someone
You make room
If you love someone
And you're not afraid to lose 'em
You probably never loved someone like I do
You probably never loved someone like I do

"Saint."

Wala na akong ibang sinabi! Goodness Elisha! Where did your brain go?!

"Uhuh? Two weeks Isha. Two weeks straight mo na akong pinagtataguan. Akala mo ba hindi ko binibilang?"

Saad  niya bago ako muling niyakap mula sa likod. His chin settled on my shoulder. Patuloy lang ang kanta na nagsilbi tuloy background music sa isang drama!

All my life
I thought it'd be hard to find
The one 'til I found you
And I find it bittersweet
'Cause you gave me something to lose

"Hindi. Hindi kita iniiwasan."

Napalunok ako sa kasinungalingan ko.

"Uhuh. Lie to me more baby."

Sagot niya sa akin.

"Saint. Bitawan mo nga ako. Hindi na ako makahinga ng maayos!"

Reklamo ko. Bigla naman siyang bumitiw sa higpit ng yakap sa akin. Iniharap niya ako sa kanya. He titled my chin using his finger and stared at me deeply. Ako na ang nalunod!

But when you love someone
You open up your heart
When you love someone
You make room
If you love someone
And you're not afraid to lose 'em
You probably never loved someone like I do
You probably never loved someone like I do
You probably never loved someone like I do

"Natapos ang kantang nakatitig lang siya sa akin. Napalunok siya sabay tingin sa labi ko. Wala sa sariling binasa ko iyon kaya napatingin siya sa aking mga mata ulit.

"You like to be kissed."

He said like he just found one of my greatest desires.

"No. Of. Of course not."

Nagkabuhol buhol na ang salita ko sa sobrang kaba.
