Days went well for us as we started to talk again. We date, we laugh, we enjoy each other's company.

We decided to meet at the same park where we should meet before the accident happened to her.

Since it's raining I woke a white polo topped paired with coffee brown- colored sweater and semi fitted slacks with white shoes. I also brought an umbrella since it's raining.

I also brought the gifts I bought in Japan to give it to her. On my way to the park when our theme song played in the radio of my car when I reminisce some memories we had in the past

Your eyes whispered "have me met?"

Across the room your silhouette starts to make it's way to me

The playful conversation starts

Counter all your quick remarks, like passing notes in secrecy

And it was enchanting to meet you

All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

''Bakit ka sumipilip diyan?" takang tanong ng babae sa akin nang tinigil nito ang pag kanta at pagtugtog ng gitara. I was stunned when she asked me, she's really beautiful

"Ah, napakaganda kasi ng boses mo" kamot ulong sabi ko sa kanya

"HAHAHAHAHA Hindi naman" tumatawang tugon nito."Zee nga pala, Zee Eilisteene Espinosa" ani nito habang nilalahad ang kamay

"Dale, John Dale Romero" I said shyly to her

"Nice to meet you, Dale" she said smiling

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonder struck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

"Zee will you be my girl?" I asked nervously at her. It was my second month courting her when I decided to take her to a candlelit dinner and asking her to be my girl

She didn't respond. She's in awe. Looking at the bracelet I want to give her when she'll answer yes.

"Yes, Dale I'll be your girl" She said crying. Pinasuot ko ang bracelet sa kanya.

I hugged her and she hugged me back. I think I am the most lucky guy tonight.

The lingering question kept me up

2 AM, who do you love?

And now I'm pacing back and forth

Wishing you were at my door

I'd open up and you would say, "Hey"

It was enchanted to meet you

All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

I'm here at the doorstep of Zee's house. Magpapakilala na ako sa parents niya as her boyfriend. Grabe ang pintig ng puso na parang hihimatayin ako anong oras dahil sa kaba

She opened up the door I gave her the flower I bought and gave her a peck on her cheeks then she guided me to their dining room

"Ma, Pa si Dale, boyfriend ko" kabadong sabi ni Zee sa harap ng parents niya

"Umupo ka iho" sagot ng ina nito habang ang ama naman nito ay nakatitig saakin

"Good Evening po Mr and Mrs. Espinosa" kabadong bati ko sa kanila

Kumain kami ng tahimik ng biglang tumawa ang tatay ni Zee

"HAHAHAHAHHAHA you should've been seen your face iho, para kang natatae diyan sa upuan mo" tugon nito saakin

"Hon nasa harap tayo ng pagkainan" saway ng Mrs. Espinosa

"Be comfortable to us iho, boto kami sayo. Alam namin na aalagaan mo ng mabuti si Zee, basta know your limitations lang and please, drop the Mr. And Mrs. You can call us Tito and Tita" masayang tugon nito sa akin.

This is me praying that

This was the very first page

Not where the storyline ends

My thoughts will echo your name

Until I see you again

These are the words I held back

As I was leaving too soon

I was enchanted to meet you

Zee wait lang! Sigaw ko habang papalapit sa babaeng lumalakad papalayo sa akin hawak ang isang payong. Wala na akong pakealam kung uuwi man akong basa dahil sa ulan o magkasakit ako pagkatapos nito.

Dahan dahan siyang lumingon sa akin at kitang kita ang mga luhang dumadaloy galing sa kanyang mata. Kumikirot ang aking puso tuwing nasisilayan ko ang babaeng umiiyak sa aking harapan.

"Ano ba Dale? Can't you just get it? We can't be together" she said while pushing me away.

"Paano na tayo nito Zee? Mangiyak ngiyak na tugon ko rito. As much as how I wanted to stop these tears to fall but I can't. It's too painful for me to endure this kind of pain."Paano na ako? Paano na ang mga pangarap natin?"kahit nanginginig ay pilit ko pa ring magsalita.

"Ayaw ko na, pagod na ako. I don't love you anymore" tila parang pinagbagsakan ako ng langit at lupa sa narinig ko.

She doesn't love me anymore? After all we've been through? After all the sacrifices we've done to make our relationship work?

"Y-you're kidding right?" I said while still in shock, confused, and hurt.

"No, I'm not. Please let me go." mangiyak iyak na tugon nito.
