So Close Yet So Far Novels & Stories

“Something like that.” Pagpasok namin, parang walang nangyari. Parang perfect couple — naka-link ang arms sa isa't-isa, ngiti dito, tango doon. Pero kahit magkadikit kami, para kaming may distansya na hindi matawid.

I want to raise your spirits I want to see you smile but Know that means I'll have to leave Know that means I'll have to leave Lately, I've been, I've been thinking I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier When the evening falls And I'm left there with my thoughts And the image of you being with someone else Well, it's eating me up inside But we ran our course, we pretended we're okay Now if we jump together at least we can swim Far away from the wreck we made.

sabi ko dito. "Mahal na mahal din kita Clarance, pangako basta ikaw ang kasama ko" at hinalikan ko na siya sa noo. Ang daming pagsubok ang dumating sa amin, pero isa lang ang nanaig ang pagmamahalan naming dalawa. THE END. ___________________ Your Vote And Comment Are Highly Appriciated.

“Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente, y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te toca. Parece que los ojos se te hubieran volado y parece que un beso te cerrara la boca. (I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent, and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you. It seems as though your eyes had flown away and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth.)”

Wala akong ibang taong maaaring malapitan o mahingian ng tulong para makalapit sa kanya. Gusto kong maiyak dahil sa iba't ibang emosyong nararamdaman ko. Masaya ako na malungkot. Masaya dahil nandito na sa harap ko ang lalaking matagal ko ng gustong makita, at malungkot dahil pakiramdam ko ay napakalayo niya sa akin. So near, yet so far. Ilang hakbang na lang ang kailangan kong gawin para makalapit kay Michael pero habang papalapit ako sa kanya ay mas bumibilis ang tibok ng puso ko.

"That's fine. Tanggap ko na kung saan ako nakalugar sa'yo ngayon. I don't even expect you to keep cooking for me or coming here to my house to say hi. From now on, I'll stop being a clingy friend and I'll distance myself just so you could focus on your life with Deewee." Double shit. The words coming out of his mouth were getting worse. Pero wala na, nasabi na niya. Hindi na niya mababawi pa. Matagal na napatitig sa kaniya si Trini bago ito muling napayuko. "But I don't want you to distance yourself from me, Gene..."

Happy memories was filled with darkness, laughter was replaced by suffering and the smile was replaced by strange sadness. "T-Theo, don't stay away please. Don't leave me, I need you. I can't fight if you're not by my side. I beg you my love. Don't be like this. You said, you will stay by my side and you will not walk away from me like the others. But what happened? Why did you stay away from me? Why did you leave me? Why --- When I already love you, when I already believe in you, when I'm used to your presence then you just leave me and stay away as if nothing happened? You even broke your promise. Why Theo? W-Why? Why!"

Kinuha ko ang highlighter at nag-simulang lagyan ng kulay ang simpleng salita na may nakatagong matingkad na kulay. "People come, people go- they'll drift in and out of your life, almost like a character in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the character have told their story and you start up again with an other book, complete with new characters and adventures" (Words not mine, I just did find it in some kind of great book, full credits to the rightful owner.) Yeah, people come and people go. How funny and realistic this kind of words from the book I am reading.

Mainis ang mga moralista, basta sila, buo na at masaya! Habang nagmamaneho, nakikinig silang dalawa sa kantang Closer you and I. The closer I get to touching you The closer I get to loving you Give it a time Just a little more time We'll be together Napangiti sila sa linyang iyon ng kanta. Nangyayari na nga. Ngayon ay napipinto na ang kanilang muling pag-iisa at hinding-hindi na sila maghihiwalay pa. Ipaglalaban na nila ito.

Hindi nagtagal, naramdaman ko siyang lumabas. Hindi siya lumapit agad. Nasa may pintuan lang siya. Keeping distance. “Hindi mo kayang sumunod sa ‘alone,’ no?” sabi ko nang hindi lumilingon. “Technically, I’m still inside.” Napangiti ako ng bahagya. “Of course you are.” Lumapit siya. Pero huminto pa rin sa tamang distansya. Hindi masyadong malapit.
