I took the blue colored liquor placed by the bartender on the counter where I am the only person who's sitting on the stools
"Don't you think it's enough?" isang pasigaw na tinig ang aking narinig sa gitna ng malakas na musika at hiyawan ng mga tao sa loob ng bar
"The liquors I've drunk will never be enough to ease the pain I'm feeling, Ben" sagot ko habang unti-unting ipinapasok sa katawan-- maging sa sistema ang matapang na uri ng alak
"If Halsey was here I bet she's going to sermon you and throw you words that will make you stop that stupid thing you're doing"
Muli kong ipinatong ang alak sa lamesa at napatungo habang isang mapait na ngiti ang sumilay sa tuyo kong mga labi
Sana nga ay nandito sya.
How I wish I could bring back the time when I took her for granted and make things right like it never happened
...
"Babe, pwede mo ba 'kong samahan?"
"Halsey, you can ask Veronica to be your acquaintance for today. I'm busy"
...
"Babe, when are we going to go out on a date again?"
"I told you, I'm busy"
...
"Babe, it's our anniversary. Can you please set aside those kahit ngayon lang?"
"I can't set aside these, Halsey. We're going to celebrate it soon but not now"
...
Tumutulo ang aking mga luha sa mga alaalang nagsasabi sa akin kung bakit siya'y nawala higpit ng hawak ko
And I still remember how she terminated the relationship we had...
"Babe"
"Halsey, I said I'm busy"
I stopped from tapping the keyboard of my laptop when I heard her sob
"Alam mo, Caius. You're not the man I loved before. Hindi na ikaw iyong mas pipiliin ako kahit ano pang kaagaw ko. I thought I'm going to be happy by your side. But it was just what I thought. I loved you, Caius but it will never be a hindrance to let myself go"
And now...
I'm here. Drinking our most favorite liquor in the bar where we first met...
"But she left, Ben" I said between my sobs
"Yeah. She slipped away because you never made her stay"
Mas lalong lumakas ang agos ng luha mula sa aking mga mata
I still remember her face...
And our dreams before that suddenly vanished...
I sighed and put a money on the counter before walking away
I wish I could get amnesia...
And forget the stupid things I did.
