I'm currently sitting in the back seat of the taxi on my way to my apartment.
We passed by familiar places like small restaurants, street food stalls, old houses and those mini stops where I buy food or home supplies on my way home.
The taxi driver turns up the radio sound and I hear the DJ start talking about the next song.
"At ang song next on queue ay "Take her to the moon" by Moira Dela Torre. Tara shot mga broken HAHAHA..." sabi ng DJ at tumuloy magsalita.
"Take her to the moon'' by Moira Dela Torre. Parang familiar" sabi ng driver
"Narinig niyo na po ba yan?" Tanong ko
"Parang. Yan ata yung pinapakinggan ng anak ko na 15 years old simula nung niloko siya ng boyfriend niya. Kaya yan sinasabi ko sa isa kong anak na wag muna maghanap ng boyfriend. Sobrang bata pa"
I sigh in disbelief. Minors cheat on their partners even at a very young age.
"Mas matanda po ba yung lalaki?"
"Oo, 17. Minor silang dalawa. Tsaka ko na lang nalaman na may boyfriend anak ko nung nalaman kong nag-break sila. Nakita ko eh. Huli"
I guess cheaters are everywhere. Even minors can be cheated on...I feel bad...
The song starts playing and memories start to flood my mind.

"I know it's been a while since our eyes last met"
Since the time when you and I broke up...
"Too many words were left unsaid"
I never got the chance to say how much I love you...
"Your head was poking out of the driver's seat"
As you look away from me, looking at her...
"Eyes full of tears, I couldn't leave"
I'm too much of a coward to leave you...
"No matter what I do I still feel you coming back to me"
I always pray you'd come back...
"When I know that you never will"
But I already know it's too late...
"So before I say goodbye, would you do one last thing for me?"
My last wish for you before I let go...
"Be happy"
Smile for me for the last time...
"And take, take her to the moon for me"
Make her happy...
"Take her like you promised me"
Fulfill your promises...
"Say you love her every time"
And say how much you love her...
"Like how you told me the last time"
