(Continue where you paused the song ;*)

Tears filled my eyes as I was looking at her walk down the aisle with her parents. She, too, was crying when our eyes met.

Tears of joy.

"You're too beautiful, Hopia." I said when she finally reached my place.

"Thank you, Claudio." She hugged me tightly and went straight in front of the altar.

I sighed heavily. Ikakasal na sya. She looks so happy beside the man she loves. I felt a lump in my throat.

I sneaked to walk out. I can't help my tears from falling, I don't want to ruin her special day.

"Bata! Bata! Bakit ka umiiyak?" An image of a small girl flashed in front of me offering a handkerchief.

I hope you're here to wipe my tears for me when I felt like the whole world wants to leave me.

"Dali na! Ituro mo na yung crush mo!"

I wish I can turn back time. I wish I had confessed earlier.

Rain started to fall. I was standing alone outside of the church.

"Hoy teka! Dahil pumasa ka, bawal munang mag-girlfriend ha!" She jokingly said and punched me. "Sa pogi mong yan, maraming magkakagusto sayo dito!"

I laughed bitterly. I thought this feelings would just go away, but no. It stayed inside me eversince I saw you.

"Alam mo, di ko talaga alam gagawin ko kung wala ka eh! Yo the best bud!" She said. I smiled at her as I wipe her tears. "I'm always here." I whispered.

Rain falls... and dries... and dissapears. I don't want you to go like that, please. I want you to stay with me like we always do.

"Cly, sasagutin ko na si Chris!"

I smiled sadly as I saw Christian and Hope walking out of the church looking at each other lovingly.

Why not me, Hope? Why? He even broke your heart many times. Why can't you see that I'm that one that was here for you.

I walked away from them. I don't know why I made myself like this. Maybe I just really love Hope that's why I'm willing to sacrifice my happiness for hers.

"Cly tingnan mo! Umuulan! Sabi sayo may magandang mangyayari pag umuulan eh! Ayaw mong maniwala sakin!" She flashed her lovely smile and it made me smile too.

The sun started to shine brightly, a rainbow appeared. I turned to look at her once more and smiled. Maybe this is why she loves the rain. She finds relief after it, looking at the rainbow above. I hope I can turn back time, Hope. Just once more. If that happens I won't ever let go of your hand.
