The Day After
Dumapa si Mahal sa aking tabi.
"Pagod ka na Mahal?"
Him: "Hindi naman, pahinga lang ng konti. Anong oras na ba?"
Tiningnan ko ang cellphone ko. 3 missed calls, 12 unread text messages.
Me: "Mag a-ala-sais na Mahal."
Him: "Tapos na birthday mo Pangga."
Me: "Pero hindi pa tayo tapos. Hihihi."
Ngumiti sya sa akin at nagtanong "Ilan ba dapat Pangga?"
Me: "Syempre, kung ano yung age ko, ganun din dapat. Hihihi."
Him: "Naka-tatlo na tayo, so mga 47 pa?"
Me: "Gagu! Hahaha! Saka hindi naman kita pipilitin kung ayaw mo na 'noh."
Chos!
Him: "Hmmmm..... gusto mo pa ba?"
Me: "It depends...."
Him: "Saan?"
Me: "Kung kaya mo pa. Hahaha! Joke lang ha. Ano ka ba? Ano akala mo sa akin..... sabik?"
Him: "Gusto ko nga sabik ka sa 'kin lagi Pangga para di mo ko ipagpapalit. Pero pahinga muna tayo. Gusto ko yung ganito, katabi kita, kayakap ka...."
At muli, hinawi ko ang 10inch bangs ko.
Char.
Tumingin ako sa bintana, malakas ang ulan at hangin.... hindi ko na halos maaninag ang mga bahay ng SanLo at ang mga sasakyang dumaraan sa Skyway.
Him: "Pangga, kantahan mo ko..."
Gumapang ang kamay ko sa katawan ni Mahal hanggang matagpuan ang pakay. Dahan-dahan akong yumuko...
Him: "Hindi 'yan Pangga. Hahaha! Yung totoong kanta. Gusto ko kantahan mo ko hanggang maidlip ako."
Me: "Ah, 'yun ba? Hindi mo sinabi agad. Hihihi! Anong kanta ba gusto mo?"
Him: "Bahala ka.... kung ano yung gusto mong kantahin para sa akin."
Me: "Ah, alam ko na!"
Him: "Ano?"
Me: "I don't wanna miss a thing!!!"
Him: "Huh? Mataas yon Pangga, baka di mo abot."
Me: "Haller! Gusto mo chorus na agad?"
Him: "Iba na lang Pangga... yung medyo mababa dun."
Walang tiwala sa 'kin? Ganon? Hahaha!
Me: "Sige Mahal, lapit ka pa sa 'kin....
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Hanggang napansin ko, nakatulog na nga si Mahal.
Hindi ako dalawin ng antok. Minasdan ko lang sya habang hinahagod ng mga daliri ko ang kanyang buhok.
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ginawa ko to deserve him.
Pero grateful ako.
I promised myself, after my last relationship, na if ever na ma-inlove ako ulit, I will never give it all.
At tuwing magkasama kami ni Pangga, naka mental note na sa 'kin 'yon. And I don't know if I am being unfair.
I know there is no such thing as 'forever'.
A part of me is anxious and nervous but another part is excited and hopeful. And I can only hope na tumagal kami beyond the 'shelf-life' that some people imposed on our relationship.
Kebs na muna sa mga unbelievers.
For now, let me just enjoy this moment.
Let me fall and forget what the future hold for us.
:)
