Song Title: The One That Got Away
By: Katy Perry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~♡
"Hmmm..Hmmm..Hmmm..Hm..Hm." I was humming my favorite song nung nakita kong maraming estudyanteng nagkukumpulan sa bulletin board. Ano kayang meron?
I went there and checked it, nanlaki ang mga mata ko nung may nakita akong malaking poster na nakapaskil sa board

Pagkatapos ng first subject ay pumunta agad ako sa kay Hannah, madali lang naman syang hanapin kasi kaklase ko siya.
"Uy Han pwede pa bang mag pa register dun sa singing contest?" Nginitian niya ako bago kinuha ang registration form at binigay sakin.
"Yes naman Kisha, uy galingan mo ha balita ko kasi isang sikat na singer mag jujudge."
"Sige eto oh salamat" Binigay ko sa kanya ang form na tapos ko ng sulatan.
Saktong vacant time kami buong hapon kaya tumambay muna ako sa field para mag hanap ng kanta.
Tatayo sana muna ako para bumili ng maiinom ng nakita ko ang isang grupo ng mga babae. Namataan ko sa gitna si Maxine at nagtatawanan kasama ang kanyang mga kaibigan.
Hayst. Mukhang alam ko na ang kakantahin ko sa auditions.
"OKAY EVERYONE LISTEN UP" Sabi ng organizer ng mga contestant sabay palakpak para makuha ang atensyon ng lahat.
"PLEASE FORM A LINE. I WILL BE HANDLING OUT YOUR NUMBER. SO THEN KUNG IKAW NUMBER 1 IKAW ANG MAUUNA HANGGANG SA MAUBOS. GOT IT?"
"YES MAAM" sabay-sabay naming sagot
I got the number 31. Phew. Medyo malayo layo pa.
After halos an hour and a half of waiting..
"NEXT! CONTESTANT NUMBER 31! CONTESTANT NUMBER 31!"
Dali-dali akong lumapit
Chill Kish, just chill. Kaya mo ito.
"Hello iha, what is your name?" Tanong nung judge sa akin.
"Good afternoon po. My name is Kisha Rainn Villanueva and I will be singing the song titled 'The One That Got Away' by Katy Perry po"
"Nice choice. Go ahead"
'Summer after high school, when we first met
We make-out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my eighteenth birthday, we got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents liquor and climb to the roof'
Nabigla ako ng nakita ko si Maxine. Shit. Unti-unti kong nakita ang lalaking nasa likuran niya.
Kasing bilis ng takbo ng kabayo ang pintig ng puso ko. Bakit ngayon pa? Bad timing leche.
I saw Lucas. My ex-boyfriend. And he left me for that girl, Maxine.
'Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you
In another life, I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away'
Akalain nyo yun? We were bestfriends when we were in elementary, for 6 years kaming dalawa ang nagtutulungan at naging sandigan ng isa't isa.
He courted me when we were in Junior Highschool, sinagot ko siya nung exact date ng graduation namin nung grade 10. We happily enjoyed in each other's arms in Senior High. We broke up this year. Kung saan 2nd year college na kami? Grabe noh? Tapos ipagpapalit niya lang ako sa babaeng nakilala niya lang dito sa college? Tsk
'I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoa
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown, singing the blues
It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse'
Pinilit kong di maluha sa aking naisip pero taksil ang mga ito at sunod-sunod na tumulo. My vision became blurry because of the tears kaya pumikit na lamang ako at dinamdam ang kanta.
'In another life, I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one, the one, the one
The one that got away'
For how many years I have been with him, I can't make him stay. For all the times that I let him feel my unconditional love, I couldn't be his girl.
Yes I picked this song because it stabs me. I said to myself that after this contest, kakalimutan ko na lang siya. After all I could ever do is to accept and let go.
'All this money can't buy me a time machine, no
Can't replace you with a million rings, no
I should'a told you what you meant to me, whoa
Cause now I pay the price'
If I could not be his girl today, then in our next life I will make sure he'll be in my arms and we will both be loving each other until we reach the end of infinity.
'In another life, I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one (the one)
The one (the one)
The one (the one)
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away'
Napabalik ako sa aking huwisyo nung may narinig akong palakpakan
"Wow Ms. Kisha. I love your voice. And I can sense that damang dama mo yung kanta. Napaluha ka nga oh hahaha" The judges smiled at me and I bowed.
"Well we will be awarding the winners tomorrow, hope we see you there"
"Yes sir thank you po"
Napatingin ako sa kina Max at Lucas. This will be the last Lucas. Sa susunod na titingnan kita panigurado wala na akong mararamdaman sayo.
I love you Lucas, pero hindi ko na gusto umabot sa point na mawawala ko na sarili ko. I love you till this very day. And I have no plans to continue it. Pagod na din kasi akong magpakatanga.
