I woke up to a familiar scent and warmth, and that's when I knew I'm home—back to his arms, back to my childhood. Back to being in love. No rage and no polluted, pointless negative thoughts.
Just him, me and this moment.
"Ako naman ngayon. Nawiwili na 'yang teddy bear na 'yan. Mas madalas mo pang kapiling yan kaysa sa akin." utas nito at sya naman ang nag-pout ngayon. Pwe! Akala mo ang cute mo?
"At ikaw pa ang nagselos! Eh pano! Sya lang naman talaga ang laging nandyan para sa akin. It's always at reach and It never speaks to other girls. It never made me feel jea--"
He shut my lips closed with his bago ko pa man matapos ang sasabihin ko. I missed this. I missed him. Nang walang anu-ano'y hinawakan ko ang batok nya, and I kissed him back.
Sa gitna ng aming paghahalikan ay tumumba ang teddy bear sa gitna namin. What the hell? Sabay kaming tumawa dahil sa pangyayaring 'yon.
He shoved the annoying bear away from us and reached for my waist, pulling me closer to him and kissed me again. Harder this time. God. Paano nga ulit ako napalayo sa lalaking ito sa loob ng sobrang tagal na panahon? At paano ko nga ulit nakayanan iyon? No, scratch that. I don't even wanna remember what it feels like. I was just... wondering. Because right now, I think I would go nuts if he ever drive even just a mile away from me. I am deeply in love with him. Deeper than the never-ending pit.

***
May feelings na laging nandiyan, nakaabang kung kailan magpapapansin. Nakaabang kung kailan ako titisurin sa mga pamilyar na kanta, lugar, at salita. Magpapaalala sa isang mukha na hindi ko naman gano'n kakabisado pero pamilyar. Magpapaalala sa mga dating pakiramdam.
Malalaman mo raw kung sino ang The One That Got Away mo kapag narinig mo 'yong salita at nakaalala ka ng iisang tao lang; nakatisod ka ng mga dating pakiramdam; nangulila ka sa mga nakaraang saya; nakaalala ka ng mga pamilyar na sakit.
Sabi, time heals wounds at distance makes one forget. Bakit parang hindi naman effective? Bitbit ko pa rin lahat ng what if. Hindi pa rin ako makatakas sa maraming sana.
Ako ba ang bumitiw o siya? Tapos na ba kami talaga?
Ang sarap magtanong kaso...wala nga palang kami noon.
