2103: Martial Law (Love in Dark Times)

She is compassionate

She is compassionate, she gives parts of her with out question.

October 2018
Sunken Garden
U.P. Diliman

Hapon na ng matapos ang huling klase ko. Denise and I were supposed to meet at the Sunken Garden and have dinner together pero bago ang lahat meeting with our Org Mates sa Vinzons Hill muna. We have a meeting para sa isasagawang Mobilization sa November 30, 2018. I arrived first at the Sunken Garden. Naupo muna ako sa damuhan sa ilalim ng puno. I strummed my guitar as I waited for Denise. I played Lights down low by MAX.

Heaven only knows where you've been
But I don't really need to know
I know where you're gonna go
On my heart, where you're resting your head
And you just look so beautiful
It's like you were an angel.

Can I stop the flow of time?
Can I swim in your divine?
'Cause I don't think I'd ever leave this place.

Oh, turn the lights turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow
'Cause, baby, we're just reckless kids
Trying to find an island in the flood
Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low, oh
Under heavy skies in the rain
You're dancing in your bare feet
Just like we're in a movie
Grab my hand and we're chasing the train
I catch you looking back at me
Running through a cloud of steam.

Can I stop the flow of time?
Can I swim in your divine?
'Cause I don't think I'd ever leave this place

Oh, turn the lights turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow, oh
'Cause, baby, we're just reckless kids
Trying to find an island in the flood
Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low.

And I will give you everything baby
But can you feel this energy? Take it
You can have the best of me baby
And I will give you anything
Can you feel this energy? Take it
You can have the best of me baby.

Oh, turn the lights turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow
Oh, turn the lights turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow
'Cause, baby, we're just reckless kids
Trying to find an island in the flood
Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low, oh.

I sang the last few stanzas, nakapikit ako at dinadama ko ang bawat titik ng kanta. When I heard Denise's voice coming from the path I took. 

"Wow! Ang galing!" She smiled at me as she clapped her hands.

"Uy, Denise. Kanina ka pa ba?" I asked her.

"As soon as you started to strum your guitar. Sorry, medyo namesmerize lang ako sa boses mo." She smiled again.

"So, Tara na sa meeting?" I asked her.

"Yeah and thank you for waiting for me." She smiled at me. 

We walked to our meeting place, nasa loob lang din ito ng school namin. Sa Vinzons Hill kami nakatakdang magmeeting together with our Org mates. We walked to Vinzons Hill, isang bloke na din ang nilalakad namin ni Denise. When she spoke to me and said.
