I still remember the first time we listened to your favorite song not knowing it was dedicated for me. Because, I think I need to supress myself knowing that we're just bestfriends. And, it's better that way because atleast we're still together unti...
Napatitig ako kay Zeresh na sobrang excited. Bakas din ang saya sa mukha niya.
Napadako ang tingin niya sakin kaya sinamaan ko sya ng tingin. Inirapan nya naman ako dahil dun.
"Pero bago yan. Kakanta muna ako. Ives, para sayo to."
Nagulat naman ako sa huli niyang sinabi. Para sakin? Bakit?
"We were so beautiful We were so tragic No other magic could ever compare Lost myself, seventeen Then you came, found me No other magic could ever compare."
No way! It was her favorite song, our song.
"There's a room In my heart with the memories we made Took 'em down but they're still in their frames There's no way I could ever forget, mmm."
Nanatili lang ako sa pwesto ko habang kumakanta siya. Naramdaman niya ang titig ko kaya naman napatingin siya sa banda ko.
"For as long as I live and as long as I love I will never not think about you You, mmm I will never not think about you From the moment I loved, I knew you were the one And no matter what I-I do, ooh, mmm I will never not think about you."
Ibinaba nya na ang mic bago bumuntong-hininga. Pero ang titig nya nanatili sakin.
"Hi sa bestfriend kong si Ives."
Natawa sya ng bahagya sa sarili niya. Nahawa naman ako sa tawa nya.
She looks so cute, but still I love her.
Yes, I love her.
"Thank you sobra. Para sayo nga pala yung kanta. From the moment I loved, I knew you were the one."
Nabigla ako sa huling sinabi niya. It was true. Mahal niya nga ako kaso naduwag ako.
Nakangiti pa rin siya sakin habang nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita.
"Kaso manhid ka, Ives. Pero alam mo, salamat pa din. Salamat pa din kasi minahal kita. Tandaan mo, Ives minahal kita."
Pinilit kong ngumiti sakaniya.
Don't worry, Zeresh. I'm happy for the both of you.
"Kung di ka sana manhid tayo sana. Pero salamat sa friendship. Kung di rin dahil sayo di ko makikilala si Silver, ang fiancee ko."
Sabi niya tsaka pinakita ang engagement ring sa kamay niya.
I mouthed "I'm happy for you." sakaniya.
Only if I tried to be brave about us. We should have been spending our lifetime together.
Still, our song is my favorite 'cause it reminds me that somehow you loved me.
I'm sorry I didn't love you enough to be brave about expressing my feelings for you.
