The Music Whispers the Melancholy of the Past

By Alexa Nichole Reoyo

It was the 25th of March today, and the sky seemed very gloomy as I peered out the window

of my room. What a perfect day to be lazy, I thought. I lay down on my bed and play a song

as I am planning to sleep the whole day, trying to justify the weather with my laziness this

morning. My playlist will usually go with some pop music or OPM songs, but this time a

familiar melody randomly played as I was staring at the ceiling. "Rain, he wanted it

comfortable, and I wanted that pain," a piece from a newly released album that flashes back

everything that happened. I was about to pause it when there was like a tiny voice

whispering to me that it's okay, and I'll be fine after a nearly year of avoiding this specific

pop star's songs just because they keep reminding me of him. The man who will always be

the definition of my favorite Taylor Swift songs, the man who made me feel how enchanting

it is to be someone’s lover, and now the bittersweet of midnight rain, Hans.

Hans, my dearest boy best friend, whom will always be a part of me, he’s the only one who

sees the beauty in my chaos, he’s always by my side through happiness and sorrow, even if

I am in the most crowded place on earth I always knew Hans. As the song continues to play,

I am also seeing myself again.

It's still vivid in my memory when he admitted his feelings for me. (July 2021) in the middle

of the night, my entire world shrouded in silence, my eyes strained to pierce through the

darkness. As I was staring through the darkness, I could hear my phone buzzing under my

pillow. The device screens lit up my face as I read the notification from him: "Hi, I have

something to tell you." I was so confused because we just had a phone call yesterday, and
the tone of his message wasn’t usually like this, he’s the silly type of texter. I was blankly

staring at the message when a new one popped in. "I don’t want to be a coward and hide

my feelings from you anymore. I know there’s a chance that this might ruin our friendship,

but I don’t want to stay friends with you knowing that I feel deeper toward you. Gusto kita,

Alexa, gustong-gusto." That night, The world around me faded away, I felt my own heart

pang, it was like a dagger to my chest, realizing that I couldn’t reciprocate his feelings even

I felt the same way, yes, I like him too, I guess, but we’re too young for this silly love, we’re

too young to bear the burdens that come with love, we’re too young to do this, I couldn’t

gamble my future for the sake of relationship, I can’t risk everything for these little

butterflies I am feeling. I boldly turned off my phone without even responding his

confession. He bombarded me with messages, and I can’t even take a look at them. I

ignored him like nothing happen, pretending that my heart wasn’t broken.

That was the last time I talked to him, since it’s pandemic we have no opportunity to meet

and talk to each other properly. I don’t know what happens to him after that night he never

reached out and even greeted me at my birthday expectedly, though, who would greet

someone who low-key rejected him? My birthday may be carefree and cheery, but without

him, it’s like a puzzle missing its piece. I celebrated my special day without my special man.

My heart can’t escape to these memories of you, they echo and yell in everything I do.

I gave out a heavy sigh, realizing that my studies needed my undivided attention. For now,

I'll focus on my studies in order to create a better future for myself. My dreams are my

priorities. I vowed not to cry anymore and perhaps one day my fascination with learning

would also guide me to the love of my entire existence.


According to FranzieGubatina—“Don’t rush into love. You’ll find the person meant for you

when you least expect it.” And I truly believe in that.

Now, I'm temporarily closing my own book, hoping that someday it will be opened by the

two of us.
