october, my heart
you have been my joy; my pain
things i gained, found lost

Patuloy kong napapatunayan na mahal ko siya habang patuloy siyang nahuhulog sa kanya.

III
Maari nga. Hindi rin naman ito ang panahon para gisingin ang pag-ibig na maaring mamagitan sa aming dalawa. Nakuha ko na lang na maging masaya para sa kanya. Bagaman napakalungkot pag kausap ko siya. Lahat nag iba na. Di na rin ako nagtaka. Ganun naman talaga. Tanggap ko na. Kahit simula pa lang, inaantay ko na siya. Aaaaaaaaa.

V
Hindi para sakin. At hindi ko naman talaga pipilitin. Bagaman pusong mandaraya ay nabibitin. Lahat ng nararamdaman, lalabanan at kakagatin. Hahayaang malunod ang mga alaala at hindi na iisiping sagipin. Bibitaw at sa malayo na lang tatanawin. Sa dulo ng kahapon ko na lang siya aangkinin. Wala lang siguro akong kain.
II
Baka hindi mo na dapat pang patunayan sa kaniya yan. Baka hindi siya ang para sayo.

IV
Naiintindihan kita. Walang masama sa nararamdaman o intensyon mo. Nais mo lamang ang magmahal nang totoo. Pero kapag talaga hindi para sayo, hindi para sayo.

sinking deep to drown in you;
July leaves coldly,
as darkness burns empty hues
and the moon cries helplessly

Payapa at banayad na takipsilim,
ikaw ang aking tanging nililihim,
kay sarap manatili sa iyong lilim.

Ang mga ugat ng ating kwento ang saksi sa mga pangakong sinambit nating dalawa ng taimtim ngunit dumating ang panahon na ika'y lumisan at nag-iwan ng mga sugat na patuloy pa ring lumalalim.

Bakit lahat ay nagdilim?

Paano ko pa sasabihin kung kailangan ko ng limutin? Pati panahon na aking inaasahan, aking kalaban. Malayo ka. Malaya ka.

Bakit hindi na lang ako? Siya ba ang itinadhana sa iyo? Masaya ako para sa iyo. Dalangin ko ang kaligayahan mo. Pero bakit hindi na lang ako? Mapait ang panlasa ko. Nasasaktan ang puso ko. Kalungkutan ang baon nito. Itatago at iingatan na lang mga ngiti mo. Hindi ko na alam kung saan ako patungo.

Alam ko, mag-aalala ka para sakin. Alam ko, malulungkot ka para sa atin. Huwag na. Ako na lang para sa ating dalawa kaya awat na. Huwag mo sanang isipin na isang kasalanan. Hindi ko rin naman malaman. Basta na lang naramdaman. Gusto ko namang iwasan. Gusto ko namang pigilan. Ano bang dahilan? Mayroon ka bang kasagutan? Paano, mauuna na ako sa katapusan.

Tiyak ko, lubos ka niyang pahahalagahan. Nakikita ko naman ang inyong pagmamahalan. Mas madalas man na ako ang lisan at ang pag-ibig ko ay di suklian, marami na rin ang aking iniwan at tinalikuran. Nawa'y ang lahat ng ito ay di mo na maranasan. Kung maipapangako niya lang sana na di ka sasaktan at pababayaan. Oo, kusang-loob na bibitaw, kahit pa pumanaw.

Alam ko, isa lang naman akong kaibigan. Hinahanap ko lang rin naman ang mga kasagutan. Parehas natin gustong maintidihan. Alam ko, ako'y iyong papakinggan. Tulad ko sayo, ikaw, ay aking kaibigan. Wag mo muna akong talikuran. Maari kayang dahan-dahan? Ngiti ka muna at ako'y pagbigyan.

Hindi ka mawawala sa aking hiraya kahit papunta ka at mananatili sa piling niya. Kung bakit ba naman sa pagkakalayo nating dalawa kita unang minahal at ninais na makasama. Kung bakit ba naman sa iyong pananahimik natuto ang puso ko na umibig nang may pananabik.

Ikaw naman ang mauna sa ating dalawa. Dito na lang muna ako, tatahan at magpapahinga. Maghihintay pa rin sayo at hindi susuko. Kapag dumating ang panahon na mangulila ang iyong puso, bumalik ka sakin na tumatakbo at nagmamadali. Sabay na tayong magsisimulang muli at iiwan itong ating dulo.
Simula sa Dulo

You are happier than you have ever been. You are home in distant sunsets and pastel horizons. You are safe in the arms of someone else. And, that smile across your face, it tells a million stories I will never be a part of.

Here I am, in the side of a winding road. Consumed marrow-deep. Haunted by the past. Terrified of what lies ahead. Wondering if I will ever stop longing for you.

Do you see an end to this?

Darkness looming. Ghosts rousing. Pangs creeping into the surface. Pangs leaving the depths.

Pangs are all that is left.

Love dies. Love leaves. Love fades.

Pangs are all that will be left.

;

In a world without you, sunsets will ever consume me.
