"Bakit mo siya kasama?", I don't reply. Patuloy lang ako sa paglalakad, palayo sa kanya.
"Bakit mo 'ko linalayuan?! Akala ko ba okay na?"
"Hindi mo din maiintindihan"
"Hindi ko talaga maiintindihan kung hindi mo ipapaliwanag! What? Did I do something wrong? Is it my attitude? Tell me"
"No it's not that", I say wiping the beads of sweat on my forehead.
"May relasyon ba kayo ni Kyro? Sabihin mo Lexine!"
"Kasi mahal kita!", everything stopped. Tinitigan lang niya ako.
"Kaya ako lumalayo sayo! The more I love you, the higher the possibility you'll get in danger. Hindi mo pa alam ang totong kwento ko, at mas mabuti na yun. So please, let me be..."

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.
