"shut up. i know you like him." i said while bitterly laughing.
"zild i-"
"no, babe, it's okay. i understand."
"pero-"
"shh it's okay. i'm fine. i saw this coming anyway."
i can't stop myself from crying. how weak.
"c'mere," i gestured to him.
he smiled hesitantly but went closer to me anyway.
"dance with me. like you did all those years ago," i told him, looking up.
he was hesitant, but i was desperate.
"let this be our last dance," i whispered.
i was grateful he accepted.
we slow danced just like we did on prom - the day he confessed. funny how he's the first to break away. i understand though.
sometimes you just aren't enough.
i rested my head on his left shoulder and held hands. my left hand rested on his other shoulder while his other hand rested on my waist.
"paalam sa 'ting huling sayaw..." he slowly sang after a while.
oh. this song. it was playing that night too...
"may dulo pala ang langit..." i shakily sang in return.
perhaps a foreshadowing?
at the same time, we continued "...kaya't sabay tayong bibitaw..."
and slowly and painfully, i moved away, removing my head from resting on his shoulder.
i stepped back and removed my hand from his arm and he let go of my waist.
"sa ating huling sayaw..." we sang, face to face, eye to eye, fingers originally interlocked but now separating until the song ended.
it wasn't really playing of course, but it had been since we started.
