The Cure for the Common Hitch part 2...
Slowly I stood up... I felt the pity of the people around me... I felt weak... I should've done anything when I knew I can... But then, I did nothing...
I wake up every morning, wondering what might have been... If only I did something... Anything... But then I guess I am too late... Too late... I guess, I won't see her again...
"If you two are meant for each other, time will surely find a way"
I walked along the busy street, reminisced the memories of when we first met... I can still see her right there, crying her heart out while looking at the hiding sun... A tear fell from my eye... It's been 3 months now, but I still couldn't stop thinking about her... I guess, God gave me this life... I guess my only purpose here is to make someone happy for the cost of my own happiness... It has always been this way, I should be used to it by now... But why?.. Why me?..
"Someday... Somehow... Destiny..."
I waited for her, at the same spot where I first took a glimpse of her... I've waited and waited, hoping for someone to lend me a crying shoulder... But, nobody came, nobody came... It's getting late but then I didn't mind it... I stood up, and went on my way...
"When will I see you again?.. How?.. What will you think of me now?.."
I walked again that busy street, staring blankly into space... I didn't mind everything that passed me by... Then suddenly it happened... Something that would change the whole me completely...
"Destiny... Destiny..."
I was walking alone when someone bumped at me...
"Oh, I'm so sorry Sir... I wasn't looking at my way..."
I know that voice... Suddenly it hit me... I slowly turned my head... Then cold winds approached us as the moonlight shines above us... It was her.. But then, I was too shy to even look at her... My ears were open but then my eyes were not looking at her... I'm too ashamed...
"It's ok... I'll go now... Take care..."
I marched on... As I left her alone on that busy street, tears flowed down my eyes...
"That's it?! After everything we've gone through, you'll just run away?!"
She shouted... I was motionless... Shocked... Embarassed...
"You know what, I broke up with him because of you... I went here as soon as I can, hoping that I could find you here... Well now, here you are... Then you'll just run away?.. You know what, forget about it.. I'm leaving..."
The people around me witnessed it... They looked at me with their pitiful eyes... Hoping that it could make me feel better... But then it came to me... This is my last chance... Here we are, so might as well do something... Last chance... last chance... It's never too late... Never too late!
"Never leave me.. Never... Let me die first before you say goodbye..."
As she walked steadfastly along that road... I ran towards her... I called out her name but then she never looked back at me... I shouldn't falter, this is my last chance... As I was getting closer to her... Time slowed down for a bit... The peopled around me was no longer visible. It was getting colder and colder as the fingers of the clock ticked its way...
"Don't ever leave me please?.. Because if you do.. I'll chase after you until you say I don't need you anymore"
She looked at me, I knew she felt that I was getting close to her... She stopped for a while... Looked at me with those sad, teary eyes... I came closer to her... And embraced her as if there was no tomorrow...
"This time, I won't let you go away... Iwon't leave you alone anymore... Please, give me another chance..." "Promise?.." "Promise..." Labels: The Cure for the Common Hitch

The Cure for the Common Hitch...
The things I would do just to forget you...
Soft sounds of a fountain was the background music, gushes of the winds were their cradle, and only a candle lights their faces... Yes, it was a very beautiful evening for both of them, each of them sends of their messages through their passionate eyes... It was the night that the quiet young man promised...
I woke up one day... Still haunted by the past... Hopeless and weak, never knowing what to do... There at my bed, I sat still... With the warmth from the sun covering me, embracing all the hatred that was stuck inside my heart... For the first time, I was calm... Calm and ready to face another day...
Everywhere I look I always see lovers... Holding hands, whispering in each other's ear, laughing, kissing, hugging, and having a good time... I looked at them... Envious... They just smiled at me... As I raced my way unto the busy side walk... I closed my eyes for a bit, hoping for someone to bump at me... But I guess, that will never happen...
Slowly, I opened my eyes... The blinding light of the sunset flashed right in front of me... As things started to get clearer, I heard someone crying... There I saw her, watching the sunset as it hides beneath the horizon... Her long black hair embraces her body as the winds started to get colder... My heart was then, occupied by pity... From that moment, I couldn't control myself... I sat beside her... She looked at me with those beautiful eyes, overflowing with wasted tears...
"I know, I am a complete stranger... But you can cry on my shoulder..."
I said, as I shared a broken smile... She just shared a smile, and looked away... Right into the hiding sun...
"Ok, I guess you want to be alone... I'll go now... Take care..."
I stood up and walked again into the busy streets... Until...
"Wait... Please stay..."
Of course, I wouldn't leave her... I wouldn't leave someone crying alone on a crowded place... I sat again beside her... With that sad look upon her face... I couldn't help but to ask her what's wrong... She told me that she saw her boyfriend with an another girl... Kissing and laughing as if she wasn't there... It's been months but still, she couldn't cope up with it... It was hard for her to move on... Slowly, she rested her head on my shoulder, as I wiped her tears... I sign of relief was visible upon her hidden smiles... I couldn't blame her for crying, I know, with this, she will surely be stronger in the future...
She looked at me with pure happiness as she told me...
"Let's eat something, my treat" "No no no, let me treat you tonight ok?"
Dissapointed, she agreed with a nod... I took her on a restaurant not far from here... The scenery was perfect... This night was truly the night of my dreams... But I knew, that this night will not last long...
"A candlelight dinner, how romantic"
She said, blushing... I knew, it won't last long... So might as well make this a night we won't forget... As the time flew by, her eyes seems to glow more and more brighter each second. She now smiles with ease. I can see by her eyes, she's now happy, contented.. Just the way I wanted her to be...
She then, sat next to me... Rested at my shoulder for a while, and held my hand.... I was blushing but I didn't gave her a chance to notice it... I looked at her with a smile as she played with my fingers...
"Why didn't I met you before?.."
"Maybe, God made this day for us to meet..."
"I wish I could turn back time..." "Me too.. Me too..."
She cuddled right into my arms, with her head upon my chest... My heart started to beat faster and faster... I knew she felt it... But then suddenly... Her boyfriend came, rushing down on us... He punched me and left me stunned, as she took her away from me... She looked at me as tears fell from her eyes, she tried to reach me but then it was already too late... The darkness of the night, swallowed the two of them away... Out of sight... Tears and blood mixed as they dripped into my cheeks and right down to the ground... I couldn't move... I was too weak... Embarassed, ashamed... I didn't know what to do...
"What now?.. *sigh*"
