Hey love

I am a constant satellite

Of your blazing sun

My love I obey your law of gravity

This is the fate you’ve carved on me

The law of gravity

This is the fate you’ve carved on me

On me

     Somebody clapped when Lavinia was finish practicing her song for the upcoming competition. She looks to the door and saw her close friend, Kelvin, grinning at her. She smiled as Kelvin went to her. She stood up from her chair and began covering the piano. “Why are you here? I thought you were taking Rose home”, Lavinia began, facing him. “Aren’t you supposed to take your girlfriend home?” Kelvin shook his head in reply.

“I told her that I want to see you right now”, he replied as he looked at her with a wry smile. “That song Gravity, you always remember him when you listened to that song. I can’t believe that you’re gonna sing it for your upcoming competition this Friday”. He paused and tilts his head, adding, “He knew that you always remember him when you hear that song?” Lavinia shook her head and smiled sadly.

“You’re the only one who knew that I always remember him whenever I hear that song”. She walked to the window and saw the other students leaving the campus. “It’s been a month and I still can’t forget about him. I do envy you sometimes Kelvin. I wished that things didn’t end up between me and Arthur”.

“I think he is not the right guy for you after all”, he commented as he stood next to her, his back leaning at the wall. A sigh escape from his lips. “It’s been one month and still I never see your true smile”.

“T-True smile?” startled of what he said, she turned around and looked at him. “I don’t understand”.

“I haven’t seen you smiling for real”. He looked at her and smirks. “I’m not your best friend for nothing you know”.

“Oh, now I get it”. Her hazel brown eyes turned sober and look down. “It’s not easy to forget him just like that. I hope you understand”. Kelvin nodded but she didn’t saw it.

“You know this is all I could say: Love is like gravity, we are always pulled back. We can’t stay afloat for too long”. He looked at the ceiling and whistled. “As your best friend, I wish I could take away your pain. Even Rose is worried about you. She said there are many men out there and you don’t have to worry because you’re beautiful”. A slight laugh escapes from her lips.

“But we all know it’s not the beauty of the person we are after”. Slowly, his eyes look at her and smiled.

“No, it’s not”. She went to where her sling bag was and gets it.

“Actually, when I love it’s difficult for me to let go. It’ll take time for me to let go”. Lavinia paused as Kelvin waited for her next words. “I guess…we weren’t meant to be after all”. He went to her and patted her shoulder. She looked up at him. “Every night I cry for the pain. Kelvin, what should I do? I still love him…”

“I guess time can melt away the pain and your love for him. But if you want to stay in love with him, that’s okay. It’s either you’ll leave or you’ll stay”. He looked at his watch and noticed it was 5:30p.m.already. “Come on Lav, I’ll take you home. It’ll be dark soon”.

“Sure”, she said, absent mindedly as both of them walked out of the music room.

“One more thing Lav, just like your song Gravity, you need to fall to rise again and always learn to let go of things which are not meant for you. I know I suck at advices on love but I hope I cheer you up”. She smiled looking at him, one that was from her heart.

“Thanks for the help Kelvin. I appreciate it very much. Are you going watch my competition this Friday?” he pinched her cheek softly and grinned.

“You know I’ll be there to hear you sing”.

End.
