let me tell you a story about love.about a boy and a girl.
it was an august evening,or rather, night.it was the last concert of baybeats 09, with anberlin being the closing act.the boy and the girl were there.right in the middle of the crowd eagerly waiting for anberlin to come on stage.the girl's cousin and brother left to find a better spot at the back, leaving the boy and the girl alone together.
after a long 45 min wait, anberlin took to the stage.many hundred pair of hands raised towards the sky, screaming their lungs out.and the boy went 'FUCK YEAH'.
then it began.the moshing, body surfing, pushing and shoving.the boy and the girl, the crowd around them, were pushing.shoving.desperate not to lose her to the sweaty bodies around, the boy held onto the girl's waist, tightly.
the girl flashed the boy an uneasy look.
the boy saw the look in her eyes, and he asked her why.but the music drowned out whatever he had to say.
enjoy the night, he thought.don't let her spoil it.
so with every song played, he let his emotions take over.screaming along, hands held high.every once in awhile, he look out for the girl.making sure she's alright.
but truth was, the girl was enjoying the show.she asked the boy to just concentrate on the concert, not on her.she assures him that she's fine with this.he knows that she is.
then came the moment.the band played the song inevitable.to much cheers from the crowd.everyone had their hands held high, swaying along with the music.there was no moshing, no pushing nor shoving.just enjoying the show.
somewhere in the crowd, someone lit up a lighter and waved.a symbolic sign.
the boy did not have his hands up.he held onto the girl, with his hand around the girl's little tummy.oh how he regretted not telling her how beautiful she looked then.she was oblivious to the boy, and how he looked at her.
then he whispered those lyrics in her ears.i wanna be your last first kiss, that you'll ever have.i wanna be your last first love, that you'll ever have.
there was no reaction from the girl.then she turned and looked at him.and told him to stop breathing in her ear.the boy smiled.
because it was at that very moment, he fell in love with her again.the raw emotion gnawing at his heart.so strong he couldn't express it at that very moment to her.
because he knew, there will be no one like her.there will be no one would be able to tolerate such rowdiness in a concert like that.there will be no one to tell him that he's crazy and as nuts as the crowd around them.there will be no one he once liked that would go to this concert with him and actually enjoy it.
at that very moment he thought, if they both were to be married, he would choose that song as their wedding song.because it was the first concert they went together and it would be special.and if they were to have kids, he would tell them how he fell in love with their mom over again that night.
he knew the girl was touched.and that she was just holding back by telling him to stop breathing in her ear.she just don't want the boy to know that.
with that, he planted a gentle kiss on the girl's cheek.
