Better Than We Break
"Nood ka maroon 5?"
Message received at 2:57 pm of March 5, 2008 from "mhalab"(our term of endearment during the honeymoon stage of our then relationship).
I have two cell phones…One is for my personal number and the other has a sim card issued by the company. Since I received that sim, I kept it to myself. I did not inform friends, colleagues about that other number… it served as a personal number for “mhalab”. Since we’re no longer together I didn’t mind if its battery is full or empty. I wasn’t expecting any text messages or call from that cell anyway. Maliban lang sa masugid kong textmate na sina Globe 2350 r 2346. Hmph!
Well,I charged the battery anyhow.
When I turned on the cell phone, to my surprise, “1 message received” it read.
A message from mhalab asking me if I’m going to watch Maroon 5’s concert. (we had plans on watching the concert together, by hook or by crook…that was before the break up). I felt numb! I didn’t feel anything. Weird. Then after a few seconds which seemed eternity, I felt “air” filled my whole body and then my heart pumped so slowly and so fast at the same time….pwde ba yun? Parang may malamig na tubig na bumuhos sakin. I stopped breathing…literally.
“Bakit? Bakit? Bakit? Was all I could utter. Bakit sha nagtext?
A lot of questions filled my mind… “Is he going to ask me to watch the concert with him? Miss nya na ata ako? Will I reply? What will I reply? Hahaha daming questions, pagpapangap at pagtaas ng sariling bangko. Why do I have to receive messages from him during the time that I was trying to accept that its’ over?
Eh di shempre, nadiskarel na naman ako….
After a few exchange of text messages…after that blood-rushing experience…
the conclusion…
I did not watch the concert… he did not watch the concert either.
Maroon 5 became a part of our relationship…the honeymoon stage…
Sabi ko dati,pag dumating ang panahon na we have to part ways, our break up song would be “Better Than We Break” by no less than the Maroon 5.

Sa mga nakanood ng concert....I am soooo happy for you!

Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than to try to hurt yourself putting it back together.
You'll be fine. =D
