"Is he asleep? Akala ko ba walang tulogan?" He's shameless
"So it turns out" iniayos niya ang posisyon ng mahimbing na natutulog na si Taza "it will be just you and me for the rest of the night"
"Right" maikli kong saad "Are you sleepy?" Umiling ito, neither do I. We both sat there, staring the sky, listening to the sound of the waves. Suddenly it becomes quite, peaceful.
"Please let this be forever" I whispered
"Agape, You know why I loved poems? Because a single phrase can mean so much more than the poem itself" October "I love how it plays the mind and touch the heart. Poetry is an art itself, an absolute abstract" nakangiti ito na parang baliw
"A code"
"You thinks so? Why?"
"Some poems need to be deciphered before getting what it really conveys. It plays the mind, like what you've said" I said
"Pretty amazing" he used his arms to support his body "Can I ask you a question?" I nodded
"Sure"
"Earlier, yung nasa dagat kami ni Taza. Can I ask you, why are you—"
"It's because I'm pissed!" I cut off "I'm....I'm scared"
"Why?"
"Remember when I told you that I have an amnesia?" He nodded. Should I be doing this? For some reason I should be, it's too much for me too handle. But here it goes
"Three years ago..." It's too painful. Fxck!
"It's fine. You don't need to force yourself, Agape" he said
"No, it's fine" I took a deep breath before speaking
"Three years ago, Vien and I attempted suicide by jumping off a bridge holding each other hands.." he is shocked for what I've said
"...bago pa man kami tumalon, tinulak niya ako sa gilid salungat kung saan kami dapat tatalon dahilan para tumama ang ulo ko sa semento at magkaroon ng brain damage. Pagtapos niya akong itulak saka naman siya tumalon sa tulay at namatay. She died, I live"
"But how did you remember all of that?" I know he would asked that
"I don't remember anything but Vien. After a year, I attempted suicide. I drove so fast on the same bridge. And again, I failed, nagising na lang ako sa hospital, buhay. Sabi ng mga doktor na tumingin saakin dahil sa impact naalala ko na lahat" I finally said it. I don't know but it lightens my feelings. Alam kong hindi niya ako huhusgahan
"Ayoko ng mangyare uli 'yon" I hate being left out knowing how much I care for that person. I don't wanna keep holding on, that maybe one day they'll return even if they won't
"Sometimes, Shxt happens" I know
"So What's your story?" I asked
"I don't have any. Haha!" pss. Every one does "Do you still?" Huh? Kunot noo kong nilingon siya
"Still what?" I don't get it
