Wait A Little Longer

1

"Sana hindi na lang ako tumalikod, at hinayaan kang maghintay kung alam ko lang na wala na palang itatagal ang relasyon natin"

I was walking alone, like the day before. It was always been the same since the time I left. 

Even though I should be happy with her,  I wasn't. It's not like I haven't felt happiness,  I did. Its just the mere news about you makes my heart flutter.

I walk toward the river that have always accompanied me.

My friends told me, keeps me reminded that you are still waiting even though I was happy with her.
But I didn't care.  I'll see you still,  but I was contented and happy now, that's why I didn't hear any news about you.

I leaned in the railings and watch the blue water in the other side of the railings.

But the biggest news struck me. Slap me in the face.

The tears keeps pouring again.

Now I can't see you now, not because I don't want to.

I whispered silent prayers.

Now I can't care for you,  not because I have a choice not to.

That we will meet again soon. That the sky would turn lighter for us.

But because you are gone. Because you left.

And that the burden in your shoulder would be lift. That you'll be fine.

It's fine though. For you to rest.  Because atleast now, you don't have to wait, because now you'll be blooming soon.

But I knew that I'll turn my back again to you like I did before and I was doing now to the beautiful water.

And this time around you don't have to be burdened by me.

Not because I found someone else, but because I am a coward.
