Happy Anniversary
The one year that feels like forever , a period of pleasurable misery that not just anyone can understand. It is love and hate at the same time. I didnt practice guitar for Sarawat as i had planned since he's not free anyway , and so i just wrote him a thank you card
I part with the Star Gang after classes , and go straight to my room. Sarawat is really not here. I text him that im home so he won't worry , but i didn't expect him to give me a call
"Hi there , handsome." Let me prove him a little , or else i won't feel at eas
"You're back?" He replies
"Yeah. Where are you? Hanging out with the guys?"
"Nah , i'm in the lobby"
"Oh , what did you forget? I'll bring it to you right away."
"You."
I pause for a minute , confused , unable to grasp what he means. Maybe i am hallucinating. Questions run wild in my head , and im not sure what to say but ask him again
"What did you say?"
"Go to bed." As his ow voice commanded , i stride into the bedroom , and find two tickets there. They're tickets for a lie concert
"I found it. You...you wanna go with me?"
"Yeah."
"What about the guys?"
"Did i say i'd go with them? It's our anniversary , troublemaker."
"You remember."
"Who would forget that? You're lucky they're performing tonight. Come down now."
"...."
"Let's go to see Scrubb."
The event it a little wild. Since lots of bands are performing , the area in front of the stage is packed with people . Sarawat and i are in that crowd , dancing and singing together until we are panting. Finally , its time for the band we've been waiting for. Scrubb hardly performs in Chiang Mai , lucky for us they came here on our anniversary. We're all here together.
We're with the ones that brought us together
"Remember the first day we met?" He asks. It's a question that has me going back in time to our start
"I called you twat , and you said you'd fucking kiss me."
"No , it was before that."
"I dont remember the first time. I had no idea a jerk was watching me." A smile flashes on his handsome face before he speaks in a soft voice , his eyes shining , so i know he's happy whenever he recalls that time
"You stopped at a beverage stall and made a fuss about wanting Blue Hawaii , but the owner didn't have it , so you got Blueberry instead."
"Duuuuuuuuudee , you remember all the details?" Sarawat never told me about this. Now that i hear it from his mouth , it stuns me and makes my heart pound simultaneously
"I followed you around and happened to find out you like Scrubb. Muey and Ball were performing Close , and so i got closer to you , seeing you dance , sing , burst out laughing."
"You feel in love with me , huh?"
"Nah , i was thinking , why does this little guy have so much energy?"
"Liar. Just say you were impressed."
"...." He gives no response , just smiling
"Your friends once said you'd been looking for me , but i'd never asked them about it in detail." Years have passed since then. I think this time , i'm going back in time with Sarawat
"I couldn't forget you. I adore you so fucking much that i wished to meet you again. Not knowing where you were , i started going to every live show Scrubb performed."
"Every live show?" Seriously? Im fucking surprised
"I thought i mistakenly saw you at an event. Fucking funny."
"What event."
"Cat Tshirt , two years ago."
"Really?"
"..."
"I went there , to buy a Scrubb shirt."
"You wore a white shirt and light wash jeans."
"I Dont remember it clearly , but... i think i wore a whit shirt that day."
We're even more shocked right now , but the tan dude seems worse. He's gaping at me. Perhaps... be it fate or an accident , we're meant to be together
"Hi , folks , we're Scrubb!"
"Woooooo."
We are engrossed in the feelings flooding into our hearts when Muey's resounded voice brought us back to reality. We're definitely going to dig into the past more later , but for now , let us enjoy our favorite band to our hearts content. The first song followed by the second , and the next....
We're holding hands , grooving to the rhythm of the music encircling us , until this song....
"I actually planned to play feel for you today , but i gave up after you said you weren't free."
"How petty."
"Who's petty? Im not."
"Well , i'll get to hear you sing it anyway."
"Because we both have a day that we started moving forward.... Because you're still sure , still holding my hand. Even on the day we're lost."
I've listened to Scrubb songs hundreds of times , and it feels different every time , depending on who i'm listening to it with
"Before you close your eyes , before the wind blows. We sing it the nigh , under the sky full of stars. Wlak together , let the day pass by. No matter how long , the music still goes on."
But for Sarawat , who's a love song , a lonely song , a sad song , and a song in my memory , it feels the same
Yeah...
I love him , just the same
Just like the first day we decided we'd listen to every song together until we're gray and old
"Sarawat."
"Hmmm....?"
"Thank you for finding me."
"Thank you for coming back to me as well."
