"Tse. Ewan ko sayo"

"Joke lang nga po. Oo kahit mawala tuluyan ang hair mo"

"Memetey?"

"Oo nga po"

"I love you, K"

"I love you, too Vice"

So close, together
And when I'm with you, So close to feeling alive

We were really into our moment when suddenly her phone rang

"Oh shoot yael's calling"

"Sagutin mo muna"

"Okay lang sa'yo?"

"Bakit naman hindi? Boyfriend mo naman sya ah. Sino ba ko para pumigil?" I answered then faked a laugh.

She excused herself and left me at her living room

Kung alam mo lang kung gaano ko kagusto basagin ang cellphone mo tuwing tumatawag sya

"Ah love, You need to go. On the way na daw sya pauwi."  She told me once she entered the room again and started to clean the bags of chips that we ate.

I grabbed her hand to stop her from cleaning and pulled her closer to me.

"What is it Vice? I need to clean. Pauwi na si yael, ayoko namang maabutan nyang magulo ang liv--"

I shut her up by closing the gap between us.

I saw her eyes widened but eventually closed it then wrapped her arms around my nape then I held her face carefully like a fragile object to deepen our kiss

"Last"  I whispered to her once our kiss ended

I kissed her again then bid my good bye to her.

Once I exit her home, I leaned my back against her door and tears slowly streamed down my face.

"We were So close yet still So far"

A life goes by, Romantic dreams must die so I bid my good bye and never knew

"Karylle ano tong binalita sakin na ikakasal kana daw?" I furiously entered her dressing room without even knocking then stood in front of her, clenching my fist

"What? Saan mo naman nalaman yan love? Nagbibiro ka ba?" She nervously answered to me

"Putangina Karylle! Oo o Hindi! Engaged ka na ba kay Yael? Subukan mong ibahin ang usapan, kakaladkarin kita palabas at doon tayo sa harap ng mga kasamahan natin mag usap" naiiyak kong sambit sakanya

"I'm sorry" she answered then hugged me tightly

Lord bakit lagi nalang akong iniiwan?

"I'm sorry Vice! I'm sorry! I love you so much!"

"Karylle, bitaw"
