Love Me Again

"Napakaunfair mo." Sabi ni Carson. "You asked me to marry you. Kaya nga tinanong kita noon kung sigurado ka ba. I've been there, Theo. Alam mo iyon. I've been left behind. I trusted you when you said you will not do the same thing. You just asked me to love you every day. Tumupad ako, Theo. Tumupad ako."

She covered her face and continued crying beside him. But he was just there, sitting still.

"I don't love you, Carson. I had to do it for my own sake. I am not the gentle and loving guy you know. I am far from that."

"No..." umiiling na sagot nya dito. "You're just telling me that so I could leave you."

Puno ng puot na tumingin si Theo sa kanya. "Ano pa bang gusto mong sabihin ko? You want truth, right? That's the truth."

"Then let me do something. I'll do anything you want. Kahit ano. Just love me again, Theo." Pakiusap nya dito. "Please love me again."

Hindi na nya kaya ang sakit na nararamdaman. Sobra sobra na. As much as she wanted to leave, she won't. Hindi nya hahayaang bigyan ng pag-asa si Theo sa gusto nitong mangyari.
