It was the 14th day of September, a birthday of 1 of my highschool friends, Joan. All of my band members are invited (Pink) to celebrate the birthday of our beloved friend. I, always number 1 in tardiness, am the last person to arrived there. After some greetings with the others, this girl caught my attention, those long straight hair I used to play, her boyish but cute voice I always used to hear in the phone and.. and those lips I.. nothing.. We've been texting again lately and she told me new things about her, but I didn't expect her to come on Joan's birthday.
I sat on the vacant sit beside her, she still hasn't changed. I feel like we're back in my 4th year highschool days. We talked, we laughed, we had some fun like we have our own world during the celebration until we end up reminiscing all the memories we had. I can't deny the fact that the feelings are still there, the spark, the butterflies, this feeling.. something very unique, a unique feeling with my first true love, suddenly she opened up, she told me how much she regret what happened to the past, how I came to her mind instantly when she's thinking of many things, then follows these words that explodes my everything. "Rhenz, gusto kong ibalik yung dati. Sising sisi ako. Gusto ko yung dati. Gusto ko pa. Mahal pa rin kita e". Those words brought me to the happiness of the nth level. It seems that I don't care how she hurted me in the past anymore.
I smiled, and answer her without second thought, "Oo. Ibabalik natin". I am so happy that day like all my prayers in the past was answered after all the patience. After the celebration, I felt like I'm not going home yet. We went to the playground close to their home, sat in the grass and talked. It seems that I don't want the time to passed. I hugged her so tight that if it is possible, I almost break her bones."This time I won't let you go again, I won't do anything that will make you mad at me. I won't make any mistakes of loving you" I said. "This time I'll be sweeter" Sherine hitted me back, and kissed me. Finally, back in the 3 months when she was still mine, it came true, those lips I long to kiss, This girl I want to grow old with. All the memories seems to flashback, the first meeting, the quarrel, the sad times, the confession, the trials, the scent of white musk that she sprays in my hanky so that I won't miss her, the moment in the rain, the hug behind the back, the song tattooed on my mind, the sweetest poem on earth that I made, the separation, the pain. After that, we both closed our eyes, promising each other that we will be inlove for all time.
As I opened my eyes, I noticed that I'm in bed. Its already 10AM in the morning and we have a class later. Shit. What's with that scene? The unstoppable tears are dropping from my eyes without my knowing. Maybe a nightmare, maybe the sweetest dream.
