'Pryxie, come here!'. Tawag niya sa akin habang naka ngiti kaya lumapit ako sa kaniya at umupo sa tabi niya. 'They're so beautiful right?'. He added while staring and smiling at the City lights.
'Yes Charles, They're beautiful'. I answered while smiling at him.
'Indeed, They're beautiful'. Sabi niya at humarap sa akin ng nakangiti. 'But my Pryxie is more beautiful'. He added and chuckled when he noticed that I am blushing at agad niya akong hinalikan.

That was the first date we had, a date for us where we enjoyed watching the city lights from the top of the mountain.
Those moments like we used to enjoy are now a happy sentiments.

'Pryxie, come here'. Tawag niya sa akin ng nakangiti kaya lumapit ako sa kaniya at umupo sa tabi niya. 'They're so beautiful right?'. He added while smiling at the city lights.
'Yes Charles, They're beautiful'. I said while my tears are falling apart.
'Indeed, They're beautiful'. Sabi niya at humarap sa akin ng nakangiti pero may bahid ng sakit ang nararamdaman. 'But my Pryxie is more beautiful if she's with the right person'. He added and hug me so tight.
'Pryxie is with you Charles so you're the right person'. I said.
'Yes Pryxie, I am for this night'. He said. 'Can we dance for a last moment Pryxie?'. Tanong niya sa akin na mas nagpatulo ng mga luha ko.
'Ye-yes Charles'. I answered.

Kahit nahihirapan siyang tumayo ay pinilit niya parin para ilahad ang kaniyang mga kamay sa akin habang naka ngiti, nang nakatayo na ako ay siya ring pindot niya sa cellphone niya at nag play ng music doon.

Can I Have This Dance
by: Zac Efron

Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked to mine
And let the music be your guide
Won't you promise me?

Nag-umpisa ang kanta ay siya ring paghawak niya sa aking bewang at ang mga kamay ko'y nakapatong sa kaniyang balikat at nagsimulang sumayaw.

That you'll never forget
To keep dancing wherever we go next
It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances to feeling
The way we do

Hindi ko mapigilang tumulo ang mga luha ko habang nakatitig at nakangiti sa mga mata niya dulot ng lungkot at kasiyahan, lungkot dahil alam kong ito na ang huli naming sayaw at saya, dahil sa wakas ay hindi na siya maghihirap na matagal niya ng kahilingan.

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall

You know I'll catch you through it all
And you can't keep us apart
'Cause my heart is wherever you are
It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances to feeling
The way we do

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
Oh, no mountain's too high and no ocean's too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop

Kahit matapos man ang gabing ito at hindi na muling mauulit pa, mananatiling nakatatak ito sa aking isipan at puso na siyang aalala sa kaniya.

Let it rain, let it pour, what we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe that we were meant to be, yeah
It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances to feeling
The way we do

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?

Nang matapos ang kanta ay niyakap niya agad ako saka kumawala at nagyayang umupo na at muling pinanood ang mga ilaw sa syudad.

'Pryxie'. Tawag niya sa akin ng makaupo kami. 'I love you'. He added and kissed me again tapos niyakap ako.
'I love you too'. I said at kumawala sa yakap.
Humiga siya sa lap ko at ako naman ay inalalayan ang ulo niya at hinahaplo-haplos ito.
'Pryxie, I want you to be happy'. Sabi niya habang nakapikit. 'So I want you to be with a person who can give you a love for your entire life'.
'You're that person Charles'. I said.
'Pryxie, I am your right guy but we're not destined'. Sabi niya saka idinilat niya ang mga mata na animo'y nagmamakaawa sa akin na bitawan ko na siya.
'You deserve better than me Pryxie'. sabi niya at kitang kita ko sa kaniyang mukha na nahihirapan siya.
Habang nakatitig siya sa akin ay pinipiga ang aking puso, nakikita ko kasi ang paghihirap niya sa sakit at paghihirap sa nararamdaman niya sa akin.
'Find a better person than me Pryxie, then I will be happy'. He said. 'May I rest now?'. He added.
'Ye-yes Charles'. Sagot ko sa kaniya.
Sa pagsara ng kaniyang mga mata ay siya ding pagdaloy ng mga luha ko at paghikbi ko ng malakas habang nakatitig sa kaniyang mukha.
'Yes Charles I will find a better person than you, a right person for me'.

"Jonas, I know he's happy now". Sabi ko sa kaniya habang nakayap kami sa isa't-isa at nakatingin sa mga ilaw na nasa syudad dito sa ibabaw ng bundok. "Because, I found you". Dagdag ko pa.
"He is Pryxie dahil tinupad mo ang hiling niya". Sabi ni jonas saka ngumiti sa akin.
"He's right, meron talagang mas better na darating sa buhay ng isang tao pagnawala ang sa tingin niyang sapat na para sa kaniya". I said then kissed him.
'Salamat Charles, dahil napasaya mo parin ako sa huling pagkakataon'. Sabi ko sa sarili habang nakatingala sa langit.
