Love Suicide

XCIV

DECEMBER 24: Thursday

He's holding a small piece of cake with a small candle and roses.

"Sorry for lying again that I didn't know your--"

Hindi ko na siya pinatapos sa kaniyang simasabi at niyakap ko na siya.

"Thank you."

Nang humiwalay ako sa pagkakayakap ko sa kaniya. Inihipan ko ang kandila at napapikit ako.

I wish for peace.

"There you go." He said.

Tumayo siya saka inilagay sa kotse ang cake. Rinig ko ang pagtugtog na mula sa loob ng kotse.

Lumabas ulit si Quin nang dalang muli ang mga rosas.

"Take these roses Jacq." Kinuha ko ang hawak niyang isang rosas. "That's from your Dad. This is from Areow, Dave, Joshua, and Lary."

He heavily sigh and looked at me while taking all the roses. "Do you wanna accept Paolo's flower?" I nodded. "Well then this is from Paolo." He said handing me the rose.

There's still twelve on his other hand. He chuckled and smiled at me while scratching his nape. "So... These roses are from Ken Vega." He said.

I take all of the flowers and smiled at him. "Thank you."

Inilahad niya ang kaniyang kaliwang kamay. "Can I have a dance with you?"

I just smile at him and take his hand. "Of course."

We danced together.

Take my hand, take a breath,
Pull me close and take one step.

I looked at him with a mischievous look.

"I'll explain." He said chuckling.

Keep your eyes locked on mine
And let the music be your guide

"I lied when you asked me when you stalked me." He looked down.

Won't you promise me (now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing (to keep dancing)

"And I'm so disappointed that you're older than me." I close my eyes.

Wherever we go next
It's like catching lightning, the chances of finding someone like you

We just stayed silent for a while.

It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better

I place my head to his chest and his heart is really loud.

He's still alive.

So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?

And so do I.

"I love you, Jacq."

Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me

Nagbingi-bingihan ako. Hindi ko siya inintindi at patuloy na pinakikinggan ang kaniyang puso.

Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all
