It was magical
The moment she decided she was going to fall in love again
When she stopped waiting for her stars to align
Her hands ready to move planets and create new constellations
It was a June afternoon
The gray waves are crashing the shore where she first saw love
In the different sunset colors of her summer
Now
Rain is making little drum rolls on the roof
Heart steady
She was holding on to the breeze
A new season coming
She was ready for change
So much, she was
So she took the free fall
Yet like the big bang
A declaration that only the universe has the power to create anything and everything
Her constellation vanished before the stars even shined
"He takes the lead and I follow
Aimlessly, I follow,"
Napatingin ako sa kumakanta dito sa Southpoint. I'm waiting for my parents to arrive here at the city dahil magdidinner daw kami kasama ang pinsan kong uuwi mula Manila.
I am wearing my airpods but nothing is actually playing from my phone. Nakikinig talaga ako sa gig dito. I know the singer because we're from the same school and I can also see familiar faces in the small crowd.
"In a parallel universe, everything in reverse
Maybe you could be mine"
I remember this song from my high school. It actually brings back some memories but I try to push it at the back of my mind.
I mentally scoffed.
It's really hard to be a believer of the unknown and unexplainable.
You have moments when you feel so unstoppable that not even the one behind all creation could change your mind. It's stupid.
"In a parallel universe, where timing is kind to us
Maybe we would be - "
Napatigil ako sa pakikinig nang mag-ring ang cellphone ko
"Hello, ma? Yes. Kagina pa ko di gahulat ya. Subong? Okay." binaba ko ang tawag
"- don't want to be in a world where you are not mine"
The singer finished her song, strumming the last chord on her guitar. The audience clapped and some, siguro close friends niya, even cheered for her.
As she announced the next song request, tumayo na ako at naglakad papasok ng mall.
Natraffic daw sila Mama kaya hindi pa sila nakakarating. She just told me na pumunta na sa restaurant kung saan sila nagpareserve dahil naghihintay na daw doon yung pinsan ko.
That jerk didn't even inform me na dumating na pala siya.
I stepped on the escalator going to the second floor of the mall.
Nakita ko si Aidan na nakatayo sa tapat ng restaurant at may kausap sa cellphone. Lumilinga siya sa paligid at noong nakita na niya ang hinahanap ay sinundan ko ang tingin niya.
Napahugot ako ng hininga sa harap ng snack booth ng cinema noong mapagtanto ko kung sino ang kinakawayan ng pinsan ko.
Naramdaman ko ang pagpawis ng aking mga kamay na para bang hindi sapat ang lamig ng aircon ngunit parang binuhusan din ako ng malamig na tubig sa mukha.
The exact emotion I felt when I had my heart broken by the man waving at my cousin right at this moment.
4 years ago, I did not want to be in a world where you are not mine. But right now, I just wish we existed in different ones.
