~Prologue~
I drove by Marikina City one lazy afternoon when I had nothing to do at home. Marikina is such a memorable place for me since I grew up there. I still have some family members living there. However, I moved out of the city right after college. I seldom visit the place as it reminds me my bittersweet memories.
As I drove down a street near the place I once lived, I saw a man standing across the street, in front of a store. My heart suddenly pounded nervously as stared at the back of a man. He moved and I caught a glimpse of his face. I soon found myself trembling. Could it be him? It couldn’t be him. It has been decades since we last saw each other but my gut feel told me the guy on the street was him. How can I be mistaken when he is the one who got away.
"A Long, Long Time Ago"
♪We used to be one
I can remember when our hearts were very young
You said our love would be forever
But that was such a long, long time ago
A long, long time ago
Time and again
I still remember day after day
When you'd hold me close to you
But they are just a part of yesterday
Such a long, long time ago
Why did it ever have to be this way?
You promised me the moon, the sun, the stars above
How come you suddenly ceased to look my way?
Tell me the truth that you are certain of
Look at me now
The girl you once loved
Look at me now
Grown up but still in love with you
Although it's such a long, long time ago
Such a long, long time ago
Why did it ever have to be this way?
You promised me the moon, the sun, the stars above
How come you suddenly ceased to look my way?
Tell me the truth that you are certain of
Look at me now
The girl you once loved
Look at me now
Grown up but still in love with you
Although it's such a long, long time ago
Such a long, long time ago♪
