I was busy admiring the beauty of the city lights when I heard a familiar song.

I never dreamed
Cause I always thought that dreaming was for kids
Just a childish thing
And I could swear
Love was just a game that children play
And no more than a game

Paglingon ko, ngiting-ngiti na inilahad ni Arvin ang palad niya sa akin.

"Pwede ba kitang maisayaw, Binibini?" anya gamit ang kanyang malalim na boses.

"Arvin—"

"Randell, sige na. Don't spoil the romantic atmosphere. Isang sayaw lang, promise."

Napailing na lang ako habang pinapatong ko ang mga kamay sa balikat niya at dahan-dahan niya namang hinawakan ang baywang ko.

"'Til I met you, I never knew what love was. 'Til I met you, this feeling seems to grow more every day. I love you more each day . . ." pagsabay niya sa kanta.

"Arvin, thank you for loving me." bigla ko na lang nasambit. "Thank you for always understanding me. Alam kong hindi ako magiging perfect girlfriend for you but I'll promise to be one."

"No, Randell. I don't need a perfect girlfriend at all. You don't need to be one. I just need you . . . just be yourself. Minahal kita kasi 'yon ang isinisigaw ng puso ko."

Pagkasabi niya no'n . . . napatanong na lang ako sa sarili. Ano bang nagawa ko no'ng past life ko para ibigay sa akin ang katulad ni Arvin? Do I deserve this guy?
